Amy DeRouin

Managing Attorney | Civil Rights & Personal Injury Specialist

Amy DeRouin is a managing attorney with Christopher Trainor & Associates and a devoted mother of two sons. She is as comfortable leading her family on camping adventures in Michigan's Upper Peninsula as she is in the courtroom fighting for justice.

That same protective instinct that shapes her life outside the office drives her legal career. Amy focuses on restoring voice and strength to people who have been wronged by employers, police officers, insurers, and other powerful institutions.

"Whether that abuse occurs from an employer or a police officer, my job is to hold those accountable who believe they are above the law as they most certainly are not!"
