Gloria J Trainor

Gloria was recommended to me by a friend, and I’m so grateful for the connection. I had been hit and run by a car while riding my bicycle-thankfully my injuries weren’t extreme, but it was still a traumatic and disorienting experience. Having never been involved in any legal situation before, I truly... appreciated how Gloria guided me through every step of the process with clarity and care. She fought tirelessly to handle every detail, which was especially impressive given how uncooperative the driver’s insurance company was. In the end, I walked away with higher compensation than I expected-and just as importantly, I walked away feeling heard and supported. I tend to be an optimistic person who assumes the best in others, so when the accident happened, I initially blamed myself. Gloria was the first to get angry on my behalf, reminding me that no one should hit a bicyclist and drive away. Part lawyer, part therapist, she helped me see the situation for what it was and stood firmly in my corner. I would work with her again in a heartbeat (though hopefully, I’ll never need to!).

Gloria is very personable.... you don't need a nice attorney in court; you need a good attorney. She was ill prepared for my trial, skipped around a lot when questioning witnesses appearing as if she had no idea what she was doing. In the end not only did I lose, I had to pay opposing counsels lega...l fees! I know Gloria received newspaper recognition for settling a high profile discrimination case with St Mary's but considering the public outrage and the pulling out of major donors to St Marys because of the discrimination..... a parrot could have settled that case. I'm paying the consequences for using this attorney for years to come. I would highly recommend finding another more qualified attorney.

I cannot recommend Gloria enough if you are in need of legal counsel. No one ever wants to be in a situation where you need to seek legal advice, but if you are, hiring Gloria will be the smartest decision you make and will result in the best outcome possible given your situation. Gloria is professio...nal and kind. She balances compassion with extensive experience and knowledge of the law, she is realistic and fair and advises her client based on the best outcome possible given the situation and her clients goals. She takes pride in her work, she is ethical and grounded. You can count on Gloria to keep focused on the goal and the facts of the case even if you as her client get caught up in details. You can also count on her to stay level headed and grounded even when faced with opposing counsel who may use tactics like bullying, threatening, "forgetting" important facts and generally acting unprofessionally. My case was very complicated and emotionally draining with a history of abuse. Gloria was able to wade through irrelevant details and information, pulling out what was important and relevant and preparing me at every turn. To top it off, Evan, the Paralegal that works with Gloria is equally as compassionate, professional, helpful, attentive and knowledgable. Both Gloria and Evan were attentive in communication, both via telephone and email and were always very prepared for each turn in the case. Again, I cannot recommend Gloria enough. I felt like Gloria genuinely cared about the outcome of my case in a professional way. I felt like she cared about me and that I wasn't just a "case", but a human being. I knew where things were at throughout my case and I felt like I had the best representation possible.

I could never thank Gloria enough for her help in my case! I called her after a discrimination issue, and I can honestly say that I wouldn't be back to being myself if it hadn't been for Gloria. She did extensive research on cases similar to my own, stood by me in meetings with community groups, comm...unicated with me consistently, and became my biggest supporter and even life coach as I developed depression within the long, difficult months. I was always impressed with her ability to be strong and steadfast when the topic became stressful for me, and I was amazed at her ability to see the case from ALL points of view. Her communication is exquisite with all parties involved. My case also included quite a bit of connection with the media, and Gloria made sure I was supported throughout the frenzy. She was ALWAYS there for me. She acted immediately when I needed something right away, and her work was always thoughtful and based on impeccable research. I've told everyone that Gloria is the smartest person I've ever met. Whenever I didn't have the words, she was able to communicate exactly what I wanted to say in an eloquent and direct fashion. She is brilliant. I'm fortunate to be able to say that I admire my lawyer as a professional AND as a person. She truly had my best interests at heart, and I trust her with my life. My case ended in a long, exhausting settlement- a day that Gloria had successfully prepared me for, thanks to her forward-thinking abilities. It was grueling, but she was alert and prepared at every moment. I felt supported every step of the way. I would recommend Gloria to every person who is in need of a lawyer. She is detailed and compassionate, and she truly thinks of everything. "Outside of the box" doesn't even come close to explaining how many avenues she explored and how much research she did for me over the course of my case. You are in the best hands when you hire Gloria! I am so grateful to have worked with her.

My husband made the call to hire an attorney the day after my wreck. A car turned left in front of me. I didn't have enough time to apply my breaks. I heard a familiar voice asking if I knew her name. Of course I did. What I didn't know was why she asked me and where I was. I met with Attorney Gloria... Trainor three days later. What a relief it was to know that I didn't have to work with and talk to insurance companies, attorneys, and medical agencies in dealing with my bike and my injuries. I suffered a mere concussion, strained muscles on my right side, and a broken left elbow. Not to mention my 1995 Honda Shadow ACE was a total loss. Gloria explained the process, kept me informed in a timely matter, asked my opinion, invited me to ask questions, was concerned for my well-being and that of my husband, AND got me more money than I expected. Yes, I recommend her to anyone who has an accident and does not want to worry about ANYTHING. Although it seemed to me that it was taking a long time, I really had no cause for concern. She wrote letters to the various agencies informing them of the pending litigation and that their payment was forth-coming. When a settlement was reached, I thanked her and thanked God for what she did for me. More money than I expected and thought I deserved. And the reassurance that we made the right choice in choosing Attorney Gloria Trainor.
