Laurie Anne Gallo

I hired Laurie Gallo to represent me in an incredibly contentious divorce and custody battle that I thought would never come to an end. She was incredibly professional, up front and set appropriate expectations for the best possible outcome. Divorce is never easy, especially when children are invol...ved. Laurie took the time to understand the situation and worked tirelessly towards the best possible outcome for my kids. I can not recommend her highly enough! Her staff is incredible as well, they always kept me informed and answered questions quickly and efficiently and are consummate professionals as well with in-depth knowledge of the legal process.

My first experience with Atty Gallo was inquiring on mediation for my divorce. Long term I hired Atty Gallo as my personal divorce Lawyer as mediation was not working. Laurie and her team did their best to work as quickly and painlessly as possible, educating me along the way and doing their best to ...help me understand the process. They were very efficient at getting back to me on questions I had and patience plus. when it was necessary Laurie was the strong voice I needed. I would highly recommend Atty Gallo and her team to anyone.

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.

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

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.
