A Lifelong Champion for Justice: The Story of Breanne Galvan
From an early age, Breanne Galvan felt a deep calling to stand up for those who couldn’t stand up for themselves. That sense of justice—rooted in empathy and a refusal to accept unfairness—has guided every step of her journey. Today, as a founding attorney of The Galvan Law Firm, she channels that passion into fighting for individuals facing some of life’s most devastating moments: catastrophic injuries, wrongful deaths, and the overwhelming aftermath of crashes caused by negligence.
A Foundation Built on Service and Compassion
Breanne’s path to the law wasn’t a straight line—it was shaped by real-world experiences that taught her the power of advocacy. After earning her Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from the University of California, San Diego in 2009, she didn’t head straight to law school. Instead, she joined Teach For America, where she spent three formative years as a special education teacher in Houston’s most underserved communities.
Those years in the classroom were more than a job—they were a lesson in resilience, patience, and the profound impact of fighting for those often overlooked. “Teaching taught me how to listen—not just to words, but to the struggles behind them,” Breanne reflects. “My students and their families faced systemic barriers every day, and I saw how easily the system could fail people who didn’t have someone in their corner.” That realization stayed with her, fueling her decision to pursue law to create change on a larger scale.
From the Classroom to the Courtroom: A Legal Education Forged in Excellence
Breanne’s time as an educator only sharpened her determination. She enrolled at Thurgood Marshall School of Law, where she quickly distinguished herself as a leader. Graduating at the top of her class in 2015, she wasn’t just a standout student—she was a fierce advocate in training. As a Law Review Editor and a Mock Trial competitor at the state and national levels, she honed the skills that would later define her practice: meticulous preparation, persuasive storytelling, and an unwavering commitment to her clients’ rights.
Returning Home to Fight for Justice
After law school, Breanne returned to her roots in California, where she joined a well-respected Riverside law firm. There, she dove headfirst into high-stakes personal injury cases, representing families devastated by wrongful deaths, traumatic brain injuries, and life-altering crashes. Each case reinforced her belief that the legal system should work for people, not against them—but she also saw how often insurance companies and corporations prioritized profits over people.
Building a Firm with a Mission
In 2018, alongside her husband and law partner, Aaron Galvan, Breanne founded The Galvan Law Firm in Houston, Texas. Their vision was simple but powerful: a practice where clients weren’t just cases—they were people deserving of respect, fierce advocacy, and a voice. Since then, Breanne has stood toe-to-toe with billion-dollar insurance companies, multinational corporations, and teams of high-powered defense attorneys, refusing to back down no matter how daunting the fight.
Why She Fights—And Why It Matters
What sets Breanne apart isn’t just her track record of success—it’s how she fights. She knows that behind every lawsuit is a person who has lost a loved one, endured unimaginable pain, or faced financial ruin because of someone else’s negligence. “This isn’t just about winning,” she says. “It’s about making sure my clients feel seen, heard, and supported through one of the hardest chapters of their lives.”
Whether she’s negotiating with insurance adjusters, presenting a case to a jury, or comforting a grieving family, Breanne brings the same dedication she once brought to her classroom: a refusal to give up on people when they need someone most.
For Breanne Galvan, justice isn’t just a career—it’s a calling. And for her clients, that makes all the difference.
