Laurie Anne Gallo

When I met Laurie, my life was completely upside down. I was unsure of what I needed to do with the status of my relocation and custody of my kids. She was attentive and always took the time to explain everything to me. In the end, she was able to get me the best result possible in my situation. L...aurie is extremely good at her job. She gets things done and I would recommend her to anyone. I am very thankful for Laurie and her great team.

If you are looking for a fearless woman, Laurie is the lawyer for you. She was the shield between me and a brute of an ex husband. Laurie was quick to discern a window of opportunity to when the ex would show a sign of softening and then seize that opportunity to get a financial agreement. My divo...rce was April 2012, but I have continued to retain Laurie due to the games my ex continues to play. She is competent and compassionate. I have no complaints about Laurie and highly recommend her.

Attorney Gallo was great! I had custody issues with my ex, and she helped me and walked me through everything and explained everything. From others people experience custody issues can drag out.. Laurie was able to get things done with only a few visits and helped me achieve everything I wanted. I hi...ghly recommend!

My case was not a common or easy one: custody over two minor children with myself, the mother, plannin to relocate to another continent with the children. From the very beginning Atty. Gallo was very clear and honest with me and made me aware of the potential challenges and complications that my cas...e could encounter. She did not fail in her predictions: the Court Family Relations Dept. and a Guardian at Litem were involved, and my case ended up in trial with timelines much longer than I ever anticipated. Atty. Gallo guided and advised me well through the process. She performed exceptionally well during the trial, she was sharp and to the point. As a result, I was granted temporary sole custody at the end of the first day of a 3-day trial, and shared custody with permission to relocate with my two children as soon as the trial was over, with "de-facto" full power of decision making in situations of non-agreement between my self and the father of children. Surprisingly, at several times during our relationship as lawer and client, Atty. Gallo gave me advice maybe not so much law-driven but more from the perspective of a woman and mother, and challenged me several times with questions that helped me make more reasonable decisions. I believe now that in cases involving children, this more "humane" approach and input from a lawyer can turn into a benefit for the client and is not necessarily a sign of weakness. At the end of my long "journey" with Atty. Gallo, when the trial was over and I was ready with my luggage and my children to take the plane to another country, an unfortunate incident happened with my children. It was Sunday morning. Without any request from me to Atty. Gallo, she voluntarily showed up at the place of the incident and stayed the entire day by my side, giving me support. She had no obligation to do so, and yet opted to spend an entire holiday with me because she felt it was the right thing to do. She never mentioned this day to me after I left the country. But I understood at that time that behind her steel face there is an impressive professional with a neverending dose of hidden humanity that shows up when needed. I fully recommend Atty. Gallo for family cases.

From the moment I met Attorney Gallo, I knew I was in good hands. She is extremely knowledgable and was able to give me confidence in a very difficult situation. Not once did I feel pressured to do something I was not ready or willing to do. She explained my options and made sure I fully understoo...d every step being taken. Anytime I had a question, I felt comfortable contacting her and got speedy responses. She was very patient with me, even when I would ask the same questions over and over again. She was very clear and thorough as to what to expect every step of the way. Her staff is also very professional and helpful. I definitely felt as though I had a strong team on my side. Attorney Gallo made it so I could relax (as much as possible in my given situation) knowing I was in the best hands, and she would fight for me. I was extremely fortunate to find Attorney Gallo to represent me! I highly recommend Attorney Gallo and would never think of going to anyone else!
