Representation in a Divorce Proceeding

Laurie is an extremely competent attorney and knows this area of the law very well. I asked Laurie to be my legal advisor and to look-out for my financial interest and that is exactly what she did. In the end, Laurie helped to craft an agreement that was equitable to both sides. While divorce is ne...ver easy, Laurie displayed a high level of sensitivity to the emotional roller-coaster the parties frequently go through. I have no hesitation recommending Laurie to others who may need a good attorney for a divorce case.

I needed a lawyer to get the job done.

Attourney Laurie Gallo had an excellent demeanor when I first met her. I was hesitant at first, due to the location and the considerable length of my court case, that she would be out of my price range. After switching lawyers due to an unpleasant experience, I finally hired her. She was the perfect... choice. Laurie and her team were responsive and got back to me with any questions I had or updates on the case. Communication and curtousy was consistent- whether it was with Jackie, Chris, or Laurie. Laurie was fair. She told me all possible outcomes and did not obfusicate the case at hand. She was frank and to the point. She was experienced. Her knowledge and confidence showed in the court room. She was gentle and not overbearing to the judge, while she got the job done with a humble attitude. Behind her comportment in this case, was authentic passion and an empathic response to my case. She gave support and counseled when needed. This trait is important for any service given. The team I hired was worth it. The women in that office are inspiring from behind the scenes to the court room. If I ever need them, I know they're a phone call away. Thank you, Dr. O

A divorce lawyer that can be trusted

Laurie is a smart professional and a great advocate. My divorce case was lingering with another lawyer until a friend recommended Laiurie. Within 2 months, I was done and got a deal that I was happy with. I put my life in her hands and she did not let me down.

High Conflict Divorce

Well, here you are, doing something you hoped you’d never have to do…hire a divorce attorney. You can stop hunting now, because you’ve found the right one. I was involved in a high-conflict divorce. It was hell. Laurie was there for me every single step of the way. She’s whip-smart and tough un...der pressure (very difficult opposing attorney, very difficult divorce). She and her paralegal, Christine, were highly supportive during even the toughest times and helped keep me on track. She listens and helps, is kind and strong, decisive and VERY thorough (that’s important). What you’re going through right now is awful, I know. Laurie is hands down the best person to hire for your job.

Divorce Case

I was refered to Laurie through a friend who also had an excellent experience with her work. Ms. Gallo was professional through out the case and fought for my interests; however, she also set realistic expectations on what I would experience through the case. She returned any questions or phone cal...ls quickly and answered any questions I had about the process in terms I could understand. Overall I was very pleased with her services and would recommend her to anyone that asked.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I endorse this lawyer. Attorney Gallo is an amazing attorney whose work as a GAL on a case I was involved in was instrumental in getting the parties to come to an amicable resolution that was in the best interests of her clients (the children). Her thorough investigative work and insight into the issues together with the professional and respectful manner in which she treated everyone involved enabled the parents to work cooperatively to settle the case rather than bringing it to trial."
