Attorney Mr. Galante in Stuart

We used Mr. Galante to represent our son. He was professional and under the circumstances did a very good job.

Most Postitive Experience

A year ago I started my legal adventure with Edward over Child Custody. Through the whole experience he was very understanding, committed, and hardworking when it came to my case. As emotional as a case like mine could be, He was always very reassuring and confident that what we were doing was going ...to be worth it. And by the time we reached trial,one year later, it was. Before Ed I had interviewed other Attorneys and all were very cut and dry and obviously money driven. When I met Edward it was obvious right away that he was passionate and family oriented and I told him before our consultation was even over that I was hiring him. Our Trial was only a few days ago and I’ve already given his information to others who are going through family struggles like I was. He worked so hard for me and I absolutely was a pain in the rear, but I could not appreciate him more for how hard he worked and fought for my Family. Thank you Ed for your dedication and spirit, and your ability to make this horrible life experience for me finally see some light at the end of the tunnel! I highly recommended this Gentalman if you are looking for honesty and hardworking attitude, especially if your reasons are for your family! Thank you again so so SO much!!!

Questionable retainer practices...beware

I would not recommend this attorney. He initially handled my divorce for $1000.00 and did a great job. My ex-husband re-opened the case with false accusations and I again retained Mr .Galante's services to handle the matter. I was required to pay a retainer of $3250, which seemed reasonable because ...we thought we were going to trial. We ended up settling in an hour-long mediation. After the mediation I asked Mr. Galante about a refund and he stated a check would be mailed. A month went by and I got nothing. I emailed and called again. Again was told a check would be mailed, and nothing. Another month went by and I finally sent an email saying I was going to stop by the office to pick up a check. I then received an email from his secretary stating that there was no refund due and all of the $3250 had been used. In all this time I did not receive one bill, ledger, or anything. I am taking the matter to the Florida Bar for a thorough investigation.
