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.

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.

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.

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.

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
