Talks tough and doesn't deliver
Unresponsive and when Galen blesses you with his time, it's a self-promoting display of how tough he wants you to be. Galen built himself up to be a competent attorney and I bought his charade, only to learn that it was all an act. This guy is also getting a ton of SEO support, given how an online se...

Replied last April 08, 2022Definitely sorry you feel that way, although as an anonymous commenter, it is difficult to tell what we could have done to better service you since we don’t know who you are and/or if you are or were even a client. Feel free to call contact us directly if you wish to talk. Regarding the comment about just getting started in the field, that is not accurate as it relates to insurance losses. Our current firm started in August of 2020, but I have been doing this work for years prior and before that handled similar cases on the defense side. Again, if you wish to talk, we would love to figure out how we could have served you better. Best of luck.

My husband's schedule is difficult and he worked around our time and the July 4th weekend. He answered my questions and I felt ready to deal with th...

Very effective negotiator
Galen has proven his mettle negotiating our debt collection issues over time, and has settled almost everything pre-litigation. I have no qualms recommending to others.
