Animal Law Podcast #98: The Animal Law Firm

On this episode, we have something a bit different. I will be talking with Kristina Bergsten, who is the owner and founder of The Animal Law Firm, a Colorado law firm with a multi-state practice. For those of you who are graduating from Law School, or just looking to change your career and wondering whether you can make a living doing animal law, Kristina is here to tell you the answer is a resounding yes. Her firm specializes primarily in companion animal issues which, of course, are important and often underserved in and of themselves, but also, in Kristina’s eyes, are part of the process of waking people, and the legal system, up to the idea that animals matter and the people who care about them matter too. This was a fascinating conversation and I’m sure it will be inspiring to many of you.

Kristina Bergsten is the owner and founder of The Animal Law Firm, a Colorado law firm with a multi state practice. She started practicing animal law in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania before moving to Colorado and, eventually, founding the firm, which specializes in matters such as dog bite defense, suing police departments when cops shoot dogs, pet custody, veterinary malpractice, and others. She will be joining me, right after this.
