Chasing Justice, Not Ambulances: The Garmey Family Story, with Terry Garmey and Alexis Garmey Chardon

Spare Terry Garmey the old joke about ambulance chasers. “I'm defensive about being a plaintiff's lawyer. I like what I do,” says one of Maine's most respected plaintiff's lawyers. His daughter Alexis Garmey Chardon, who left a high-paying corporate law career to practice with her father, also describes the profession’s nobility: “It’s almost like a civic duty for us lawyers that we keep trying cases, including small cases.” Tune in to this conversation with host Ben Gideon for an inside look at a powerhouse family’s success in court and at home.
