When Corrie Gallien founded the Corrie Gallien Collective, she wasn’t just launching a brand—she was reclaiming her voice. As an attorney, author, speaker, and survivor, Gallien created the Collective to amplify truth, build resilience, and offer tools for both healing and empowerment. It’s a space where advocacy meets entrepreneurship—and where lived experience becomes a launching pad for impact.
On July 8, 2025, Gallien launched two powerful books that reflect this mission. Her first release, Personal Injury: The Economic Impact of Abusive Relationships, explores how abuse often results in long-term financial harm. Blending legal knowledge with personal insight, Gallien equips readers to recognize these hidden costs and begin the path to economic repair and independence.
Her companion release, The Cost of Silence: How the Legal Profession Fails Survivors Within Its Ranks, is a bold, reflective work that challenges the legal field’s silence around coercive and emotional abuse of survivor-attorneys. It invites a long-overdue conversation about trauma, truth, and reform within systems of power.
Both books are available in paperback and eBook formats on Amazon. Together, they mark a transformative milestone in Gallien’s journey—one that fuses legal expertise with a deeply personal calling to advocate for survivors.
Gallien’s professional path is rooted in resilience. After surviving personal and professional hardship, she founded Gallien Law, her solo law firm based in Louisiana. Gallien Law focuses on business law, personal injury, appellate advocacy, and attorney collaborations. Through her work, Gallien provides care, clarity, and guidance.
Outside the courtroom, Gallien empowers others through workshops and speaking engagements offered through the Corrie Gallien Collective. Her signature workshop, Entrepreneurship After Trauma: Reclaiming Your Power in Business & Life, equips survivors with the mindset, legal knowledge, and tools to lead from a place of wholeness. She helps entrepreneurs, nonprofit leaders, and professionals operate with clarity and confidence.
Gallien is a contributing author in Hanna Olivas’s international bestselling anthology, Her Path to Entrepreneurship, published by She Rises Studios. The anthology celebrates women building businesses with courage. In her chapter, “Entrepreneurship: The Path I Never Thought I’d Take,” Gallien shares how founding Gallien Law became a pivotal moment—not just in her career, but in reclaiming her personal power. Her story is one of self-trust, resilience, and rising through adversity to define success on her own terms.
Born and raised in Opelousas, Louisiana, Gallien is one of seven children from a low-income family and has never forgotten where she came from—or who she’s fighting for.
Licensed to practice law since 2011, she has built her career on grit, grace, and an unshakable commitment to justice. As a deaf, single mother of four, and a survivor of both personal and professional adversity, Gallien knows what it means to navigate systems that weren’t built with your survival in mind. Her experiences are the foundation of her work—and fuel her drive to create spaces for healing, advocacy, and empowerment.
As her work reaches audiences across the globe, Gallien remains committed to a central truth: healing is not just possible—it is powerful.
Through storytelling, legal advocacy, and survivor-centered services, she is helping others rewrite their narratives and build lasting legacies.
