Fair and Honest

Robert is an excellent attorney. He represented the interests of my daughters related to their ability to have me involved in their up bringing during a child custody modification. Robert did NOT waste time or money on meaningless phone calls, filings or nonsense paperwork; He stuck to the task at ...hand. He made himself available to answer my questions, and ensured that I was well informed about what was ACTUALLY happening in my case and did not run up expenses by over communicating. Roberts surrounds himself with an equally qualified, professional and detail oriented staff providing support behind the scenes. I am very satisfied with the result of my case.

Divorce Case/Back Child Support Case

Mr. Gallagher and his staff were excellent in their representation of me in two separate cases. Both cases were handled in a timely and professional manner. Every email and phone call were returned promptly and I was never left in the dark about anything as my cases proceeded. I would highly recommen...d Mr. Gallagher for your legal representation.

Gallagher Review

I am very pleased with the performance, support, professionalism and determination of Mr Gallagher's firm. Throughout my case, he and his associates were always very quick to respond, made themselves available, and were always patient in explaining the status and details/developments of my case. ...Upon settlement of my case, I felt that it was a fair settlement and my legal team did everything in their power to ensure this process was as smooth and comfortable as possible. I was treated with respect by the entire staff and was always informed of my options Thank you

Top notch lawyer

Bob has been incredible in his work with my recent case and going above and beyond to ensure I kept my son and in the end won me my son back and that alone in Iowa is very rare. I can say with out a shadow of a doubt that i will be forever greatful to him and would highly recomend him and his firm to... anyone and even highly recomending would be putting it lightly. All I can say is that I would be nowhere without him. Thanks Bob

I recommend Mr Gallagher

Bob was professional and courteous. He took the time to meet with me spontaneously and take my calls. He was patient to answer all my questions and kept me updated with a plan. In the end I felt he was on my side and cared about my best interest. He was focused on helping me and it showed with the re...sults. I recommend Bob Gallagher, Jr.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
