Posted by Kevin | September 15, 2010 | Criminal Defense

Best Lawyer in Brooklyn

I had a case that came with 7-10 years of jail time. Ms. Gallivan was able to get me community service and probation. By the end of my arraignment people in the court were actually asking me for her contact info because they were so shocked at how well she persented my case to the judge and DA. I ...HIGHLY RECCOMEND Molly Galivan because with out her I wouldn't even have the freedom to write this review.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
