EFFECTIVE ATTORNEY!

Darcy was professional, honest, fair, genuine, knowledgeable and forthcoming in handling my defense case. Darcy ALWAYS returned my phone calls, text messages and emails. Darcy prepared me every step of the way and showed concern for not only my case but me as a person and my overall well being. Darc...y was true to her word from the beginning to the end. This was my first encounter hiring an attorney, I had never been in trouble in my life. I was fearful and emotionally broken. Darcy encouraged me through the process and provided sound advice that ultimately led to me being able to move forward with my life and put this matter behind me. I KNOW in my heart I was spirit led to Darcy and she is truly an Angel in my eyes! If you are seeking an attorney that will truly care for you and is NOT driven by monetary gain, This is the attorney you want on your side!

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.

Example of a good PD

Even at 8 months pregnant, Att Galnor was an excellent public defender. She was thorough as well as knowledgable of state attorney practices having worked with them in the past. She will work hard for her clients. If she says she is going to do something as simple as call you back, expect your phone ...call. Highly recommended!

Verry professional and responsive

Very responsive and patient. Made me feel my issue was important to her. In the midst of both of our daily schedules/obligations kept me informed of progress, and contacted me in a very reasonable amount of time when I had information or questions. Charges were dropped before my court date due to ...her dilligence and previous expericence as a public defender.

Highly recommend

I hired Ms. Galnor for the criminal defense of my son. She updated me regularly with the status of the case. She negotiated a plea bargain for a withhold of adjudication of guilt. I would use Ms. Galnor again, but hope I never need her!
