Lawsuit

David represented me in an unexpected lawsuit. He was extremely patient in explaining how everything worked and what each step of the legal process meant. David was very professional and detailed through the entire law suit. I feel like he went above and beyond every aspect of his professional duties..., especially when researching the plaintiff, in an effort to help my case. He obtained the best outcome for my situation and because of that I was overwhelming grateful for what he accomplished. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for an attorney.

Updated wills, trust, POAs

David was extremely professional and friendly, and updated all the components of our trust to meet our personal goals and interests. He provided very clear instructions to us for managing our trust in the future - something we very much appreciate. I recommend him without hesitation.

I never liked a lawyer until now!

David Williams was wonderful to work with to help us settle our trust and wills. Out of all the lawyers I could of picked from, I just "felt" good about Gallager Law Firm and bingo - David Williams was our lawyer and he did an outstanding job. He was very patient and took his time to explain all th...e legal mumble jumbo and we thoroughly loved his demeanor. I finally found a good lawyer and I am not going to let him get away. We will use him in all our business, real estate, and other dealings in the future.

Foreclosure

David did an excellent job for me with regards to a recent foreclosure. This was the first one I've add to initiate and so wasn't familiar with the process. David was always very helpful with the questions I had and guiding me through the steps I needed to take. He also kept me updated with each m...ilestone completed. He was very professional, but also took time to talk with me. Highly recommend him.
