Laurie Anne Gallo

Attorney Gallo was professional and thorough while guiding me through my divorce. While it wasn't the most complicated case, she made sure all of our family's needs were met and protected through the resolution of the case. Her staff was exceptionally professional and able, and overall a pleasure to ...work with.

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.

I hired Laurie to protect my interests and restructure the original divorce agreement as a result of significant change in income. during the process Laurie and her staff demonstrated expertise in regards to all aspects of the proceedings, provided excellent guidance and attention to details. As a... result of her expertise we successfully restructured the haphazardly written original agreement. Her ability to anticipate and resolve issues such as the dependents college and medical expenses alleviated the need for future negotiations and legal expenses. I would highly recommend Laurie and her competent staff for legal representation.
