About Galia Amoils

Galia Amoils is a trial lawyer at Gelman & Associates whose practice spans family law and criminal defence. Galia has professional training on narcissism and narcissistic abuse, and works with clients empathetically, making a point of grasping what each person is going through before settling on how to handle the case.

Galia's route into law ran through the humanities: an honours double major in philosophy and classical studies at Western, then law school overseas at the University of Birmingham in the United Kingdom, where Galia earned an LL.B. (Hons) and graduated in the top 20% of the class. On the criminal side, Galia was defence counsel at a three day impaired driving trial in the Ontario Court of Justice in Toronto in 2016.

Away from the courtroom, Galia is Camp Administrator at Machane Lev, a summer camp for LGBTQ+ youth, a role that means volunteering all year and taking on speaking engagements. Galia holds a first degree black belt in Taekwondo, loves New Orleans for its music, food and culture, and spends free time at concerts, comedy shows, basketball and hot yoga. Coffee shops with exposed brick and a strong espresso are a favourite haunt, and so is time out and about with Moose, Galia's Golden Doodle.
