About Galen
Biography
As a former prosecutor, I have a significant amount of litigation experience, particularly trials involving the protection of children or termination of parental rights. I opened my own law firm with the goal of doing happier law like adoptions and guardianships. Along the way, I was chosen by B. Joseph Welch to assume his law practice when he retired. Now, I am also assisting with Wills, Living Wills, Powers of Attorney, and Probate. I am a community-service minded lawyer who aims to always do the right thing.
