"Anna is an incredibly zealous advocate who will go beyond the extra mile for her clients. She has a fantastic command of immigration law after years of practice, and she has strong relationships with opposing counsel to work towards positive resolution in the most challenging cases."
"Anna Gallagher is highly respected throughout the nation for her knowledge of Immigration law and for her tenacity. Interestingly enough, I lectured with Anna about 6 years ago at a national conference. The title of that seminar shows her tenacity with her clients. It was entitled: “Out in the Cold: People with No Options Under Our Current Immigration System,” and it drew hundreds of attorneys who wanted to learn from her. Anna is ethical, smart and very practical."
