What Does It Mean to Be Trauma-Informed?
At Merson Law, we don’t just handle cases — we serve people. Many of our clients come to us after experiencing some of the most devastating moments of their lives. Whether it’s sexual abuse, assault, or other forms of trauma, we know that the legal process can feel overwhelming, intimidating, and even re-traumatizing.
That’s why every member of our intake team — including Founding Attorney Jordan Merson, intake professionals, and support staff — has completed Trauma-Informed Training.
This training equips us to:
-
Recognize the signs and impact of trauma
-
Respond to clients with empathy and respect
-
Avoid re-traumatization during interviews or litigation
-
Empower survivors with voice and choice throughout their case
Why Trauma-Informed Training Matters
When lawyers and staff understand trauma, everything changes:
-
Survivors feel safe and supported when telling their story
-
Clients retain more control and autonomy during the legal process
-
Communication becomes more compassionate and transparent
-
Outcomes improve — because trust and cooperation are stronger
We don’t push, pressure, or judge. We listen. We explain. We stand by your side.
