Trauma-Informed Practice
The Law Offices Of Joseph J. Steffen Jr.
Joseph Steffen and his legal team are proud to operate their practice through a trauma-informed lens. Trauma is typically defined as a psychological and emotional response to an event or an experience that is deeply distressing or disturbing. In this line of work, encounters with people who have undergone mild to severe trauma are prevalent throughout our daily operations. We acknowledge firsthand that law practices aren’t particularly known for creating spaces where clients feel they can be vulnerable about their struggles. We aim to change that.
Instead of asking, “what is wrong with you?” our team leads with the more relevant question, “what happened to you?” This helps to facilitate deeper client connections, higher success rates, and more powerful advocacy on your behalf.
