Posted by Tanya | September 01, 2015 | Hired Attorney | Divorce & Separation

Honest and decent lawyer

I hired Mr.Galeswski at one of the lowest, most painful times of my life. I was getting a divorce and my first lawyer had taken me to the cleaners with not one thing to show in my favor, and when I couldn't pay him anymore he stopped representing me. I was desperate with little funds left to pay a la...wyer, but thank God I found Mr. Galewski. He was very pleasant and assured me he could help. He is a Kind, honest and decent man. I will forever be grateful for what he was able to accomplish for me in such short time.He is a brilliant lawyer who may not show his talents to you but when it counts, and in front of a court or any hearings he is brilliant. My gratitude towards him is very much why after 8 years I keep sending everyone I know or hear about needing a lawyer to him. I have known him 8 years now and I just hired him again for a personal injury case.I don't have to worry when Stan is on my side.

Could have taken my money but didn't

I sought out Mr. Galweski's services regarding a real estate disclosure issue. I had purchased a home, and found extensive termite damage concealed in the walls by the previous owner. Given the extent of the structural damage, and the patches, I wanted to sue for non-disclosure of damages which dir...ectly effected the value of the home. Mr Galewski recommended I take the case to small claims and represent myself. He met with me 2 times for free and explained the exact course of actions I needed to take. I was able to negotiate a settlement with the previous owners based, in part, on his advice, and I didnt have to spend a penny on a lawyer. He provided valuable assistance and guidance without seeking compensation, although I did offer to pay for his time. I would use him again, should a legal matter arise and I need representation.

Thank you Stan for being there for me

Stan helped me through a divorce about 2 years ago. This was a very difficult time in that my ex was very demanding and controlling. I was very impressed by Stan’s ability to control of the court room and other meetings during the case. I started off expecting to lose everything but Stan got an am...azing result and got me enough support to keep my house and kids. I was very impressed. I called Stan again yesterday and had questions about bankruptcy. I did not expect him to remember me, but as soon as he heard my voice he recalled all the facts of my case. In a few minutes we were able to put together a plan to again save me from a financial wreck. I cannot thank him enough.

The best guy i could have had on my side

My wife and I hired Stan to help us with a bankruptcy. We went through the chapter 13 process and discharged our second mortgage and tons of credit card debt. We were so nervous after hearing bad stories about people coming to our house or taking things from us. Stan said he would help protect ...our things and he was right. We not only never had anyone at our house, we only had to go to one meeting with a trustee. We never even stepped foot in the courthouse or saw our judge. My wife works for a bank and thought that this would hurt her job. We talked at length with Stan prior to making a decision. After our discussions we were certain that her job was safe. Now when people ask my wife to help with their debt to the bank she sends them to Stan. When we started this process I was so nervous and my Wife and I were fighting constantly over finances. Stan stood by us the entire way and really changed our view of bankruptcy and of lawyers. I was very happy to have Stan on my side and already refer anyone I know to his office.

He helped me sleep at night -- Great Guy

Stan helped me with my Divorce and then my Bankruptcy. The whole time he stayed in constant contact with me, even returned my emails on weekends. I was amazed by how calm and collected he stayed in court and negotiating with the other side. My ex's counsel was crazy aggressive and completely unrea...sonable, but Stan held his position and helped me to stay sane. When the Judge gave her ruling it was as if she was reading a script that Stan wrote. She not only reviewed every detail that Stan said she would, but she ordered support and other items within dollars of what we predicted. Also, I was impressed with costs. My ex paid nearly 5 times as much as I did for the same process and she received less than what I offered before I hired Stan. For my bankruptcy Stan did everything. I filled out some simple paperwork. I followed the steps that he requested. I went to one short informal meeting with a trustee and Stan took care of everything. This is the first time I have been debt free in over 20 years and it feels great. I recommend Stan and his firm to everyone.
