A great lawyer who cares her clients !!!

Bridget is an exceptional attorney who is different than other lawyers you may think of. I had a great experience with her closing my house. People hire lawyers because they are experts in areas where normal people do not have sufficient knowledge. However, a great lawyer is doing more than just usi...ng their knowledge to help the clients but also sincerely caring their clients. I would like to share with you something beyond her skills, experience and legal expertise. Lots of people may have experiences that they work with a lawyer but barely have any chance to discuss their cases with the lawyer themselves, other than talking with lawyer's assistants. Bridget is totally different. My case was unique and some kind of difficult. I called Bridget several times and, surprisingly, my calls never went to a voicemail. Bridget always picked up the phone to directly talk with me. We discussed the case, and she also gave me legal advice what to do. Her professionalism clamed me down when I was panic or concerned. Beyond that, she felt my concerns. She called me at least twice, even I didn't ask any question, because she sensed I might be panic. She explained to me what she was doing and let me know that she didn't want me to feel I was ignored. I have been asking myself - if I am working with a doctor, another type of professionals, how many times the doctor picks up the phone themselves instead of me leaving a message to a nurse? how many times a doctor will voluntarily call you to tell you what they are doing and nothing needs to be worried? Emails - she returns emails within the same business day - sometimes within one hour. Responsiveness, professionalism, patience, and compassion are everything I can think of Bridget!

Property law service excellence

Bridget Gallagher has been my property lawyer for the past three and a half years and she successfully closed some very complex property deals. I have not come across someone as professional, knowledgeable, insightful, responsive and helpful in the property law field as Bridget. I could not recommen...d her more highly!

Closing

Bridget lead a closing on our home purchase last Sept. Working with Bridget and her staff made our closing an enjoyable event which I always thought was not possible. Professional and timely on all items and a pleasure to work with.

The very best for many years!

I have had the pleasure of working with Bridget Gallagher, not once or twice, but three times. I worked with Bridget when she was with another law firm and promptly followed her to where she practices law now. Bridget has made my transitions smooth (and I think we all know how stressful selling/b...uying a house can be!!) and her office has been such a delight to work with. I cannot thank Bridget enough for her expertise, guidance, patience, and time over the last 10 years. It's been an honor.

Unqualified Recommendation

Bridget, represented myself and a sibling, over the course of several years, in a family dispute involving many facets, i.e. litigation, probate, partnership and real estate. Bridget's skill set, of professionalism, legal knowledge, experience, attention to detail and responsiveness were instrument...al in achieving a settlement. Bridget's personality is at once pleasing and capable of putting both clients and litigants at ease. Her personality can also exhibit a certain air of feistiness. These personality traits when integrated with her skill set make a potent combination. I would recommend Bridget Gallagher to anyone in need of representation without hesitation.

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"Bridget represented an opposing party on an eminent domain matter involving a challenge to both the constitutionality of the taking and the valuation of the subject property. She did an excellent job for her clients. As an opponent, we both worked together during settlement discussions in attempting to take the "emotion" out of a case that inherently involved emotional issues. She is an excellent attorney"

Commercial real estate lawyer | Feb 05

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I have known Bridget for longer than she will admit. I have closed numerous commercial real estate finance transactions with Bridget and I have thoroughly enjoyed working with her. I refer many matters in which I have conflicts to Bridget. There can be no stronger endorsement from an attorney than to refer clients to another colleague. Bridget is efficient and practices in a no-nonsense manner. I would highly recommend Bridget to any party with a commercial law, finance or real estate matter that needs thorough and professional attention."

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
