Gigi Grasska

Gigi Grasska didn’t set out to become a trial lawyer. A reserved presence growing up, she was the “quiet one,” expected by many — including her own mother — to choose a different path.​

But once a Pepperdine professor spotted her legal mind in an undergrad class, the game changed.

Now practicing personal injury law in Los Angeles, Gigi has carved out a reputation for empathy, tenacity, and hands-on client care.

In this episode of "Celebrating Justice," Gigi opens up about turning doubt into fuel. “Even my own mom didn’t want me to go to law school,” she admits. But she kept showing up, proving naysayers wrong one case at a time. Whether it’s advocating for overlooked clients or securing policy limit settlements, she thrives on the same adrenaline rush that once drove her to swim with sharks and fight wildfires—literally.

For her "Closing Argument," her story about protecting her family home during the 2025 Palisades fire offers a raw, powerful look at how personal battles shape professional resolve. The aftermath — facing hostile insurance adjusters — deepened her empathy for clients navigating trauma.

For Gigi, it’s simple: “Persistence and trust are everything.” And that belief is stitched into every case she takes on.
