Laurie Anne Gallo

I came to Laurie for help with termination of parental rights. She took a no-nonsense approach in answering all of my questions. She explained the law and the process to me, instead of telling me what I wanted to hear. In our first meeting, she told me everything I needed to know about the process,... explored what potential outcomes would be depending on certain variables, and she made sure I understood. She also explained that the process could take a while (as much as a year or more) and that there was nothing we could do to speed up the process. She was responsive to my questions, acknowledged my concerns throughout the process, and kept me focused on what was in my control. When it finally came time for a hearing, I was 9 months pregnant with my second child and our hearing date was scheduled just 10 days shy of my due date. For obvious reasons, I was looking forward to putting this all to behind me before I gave birth. We appeared and, unfortunately, a clerical error on the court's part meant we could not move forward. The hearing was rescheduled for two days before Thanksgiving, which would mean I would have a 4-week old at home. I was not happy with this development, but there was nothing we could do to change it. When the second hearing date finally arrived, all parties scheduled to appear were present - aside from Laurie. Her office called and told me that she was running behind and would be about 10 minutes late, which was very out of character. When she arrived (about 7 minutes after our scheduled hearing time) she apologized for being late and explained that her father had passed away the day before and things were a bit chaotic at her house. I asked her if she wanted to reschedule the hearing and she said, "No, I know if we do not get this taken care of today you will not enjoy your holidays with your children. I'm okay." Her concern and empathy for my life far surpassed anything I've experienced. I really hope I do not have a need for a family law attorney anytime in the future, but if I did, Laurie would be my first call.

Attorney Gallo was very thorough when giving me advice on my separation agreement. She was very helpful with the language and financial pieces. She also gave a lot of sound advice for when the children are older and looking at colleges. I have gone to her twice for a consultation and would not hes...itate to go again. Thank you for all your help.

Laurie Gallo is an excellent divorce attorney. From meeting her at my consultation I knew she had my best interest at heart. She was compassionate and understanding during a very difficult time for me. Laurie guided me in aspects of divorce I didn't know existed, including protecting family inherite...d assets. Due to her advanced knowledge of divorce law and professionalism, I believe my divorce was handled fairly and was a success. Laurie and her staff were always available and honest, I highly recommend her.

Attorney Gallo handled my post divorce issues. She was efficient, highly responsive and extremely effective in handling my issues in a timely fashion. Her approach is pragmatic and her advice comes from a seasoned history of handling many divorce cases. She led me through the complexity of court proc...eedings and wisely advised me to a settlement that was extremely fair. Her first priority was protecting my children and my rights and negotiated with the opposing lawyer professionally and successfully. Having her as my council, I felt extremely confident I could handle any issues and would certainly call upon her if any future issues were to arise.

I would recommend Laurie to anybody looking for a divorce attorney. I needed her as a consultant for my divorce where i used mediation. She took her time to understand my case, to review the agreement and make excellent suggestion to protect my interests. She made suggestions that were fair for me an...d in my best interest. If it wasn't for Laurie, I surely would've given in to some points which would've left me exposed. She knows the laws extremely well, and was always there to comfort me when my ex-wife tried to take advantage of something. If you need a lawyer in the Danbury area, please consult with Laurie before choosing anyone else. You won't be sorry.
