Five Stars for Darcy Galnor

We hired Darcy Galnor to represent and counsel us on a criminal case involving a family member. She was quick to respond and assist us in our initial frantic time of need, she fought hard for our family member, and gave us great advise, realistic expectations, and comfort throughout the entire (not-...so-quick) legal process. We were very pleased with the outcome of our case. Having someone on our team that had both prosecution and defense experience was a great benefit. Darcy came highly recommended to me from a layer friend of mine and I will highly recommend her as well.

So fast and easy!!

Darcy Galnor is amazing. I had a complicated situation going on. I was sentenced to 5 years suspended with special instructions and limitations. My probation following was to last until 2020. I contacted Mrs. Galnor in regards to mt situation witin 24hrs she had filed a motion to early terminated my ...probation. Within 3 days motion was granted and i didn't even have to step into a court room. Because of her I can now except an amazing job offer and begin a much better life with my 10yr old an my daughter who will be here August this year. Mrs. Galnor is about her business and is very reasonable with pricing. I would totally recommend her to anyone who asks or anyone looking to recieve legal services or guidance.

Heaven Sent

Darcy was amazing my husband and I had to deal with a very delicate situation which seemed impossible to resolve in a positive manor. The state didn't even want to give us a chance to explain our side or hear us out in anyway however Darcy was there for us she showed compassion and fought with everyt...hing she could to do the impossible. The resolution of our case was only thanks to her it could have been 10x worse and our family and children separated for years but thanks to her we are all together and the probation was nothing compared to the risk of losing my family. God forbid we are ever in any situation again she will be the first I call hands down!

OUR Attorney 4 Life!

Well we first met Darcy yrs ago when she was our public defender and she fought tooth n nail for my husband. When we had to seek counsel again, we tried to call her. They said she was no longer a public defender. My heart dropped. So I began to do research n found her. And couldn't be more grateful t...hat we did. She is a true fighter and makes you feel as if you were her only client. She even called us on her daughters bday from her daughters bday party to me and update. And also on wkends. She treats you with the up most respect and is very professional though she makes you feel like famiky. She is so very easy to talk with about situations you may be in, and even though she is Sooo Intelligent you never feel dumb or nervous to ask any stupid ? We thk it may be. Me and my husband Highly Recommend her and we have told alot of friends n family of her if they were to have a need. She is the type of Attorney that works 24-7 for you, and she knows Everyone is the court houses too. From all the Judges, Prosecutors, Balifs and even the cleaning crew of the courthouse. She is Very Well Known and Loved By All which is so obvious from the moment you meet her. We would Never Trust anyone but her with anything we have in Out Future. She Will Forever Be Out Attorney, Now Friend & Forever Confidante. So if your reading this Make That Call You Will Not Regret it.

Outstanding attorney

I have never met an attorney that cared so much and took such an interest in my son's case. She is the best and would recommend her to everyone.
