Choosing Mr. Joseph Gallo for representation was one of the best decisions I made during a time that was very crucial, not only for me but to my family as well. 2 years 5 months and 1 day was how long my war lasted. Never, did I ever figure I would ever be in the position I was in. When my world felt... as if it was caving in, Mr. Gallo gave me direction. His honesty gave me comfort when I thought there was none to be found. His integrity gave me light and his passion gave me assurance. My case was a part of him as much as it was to me. Mr. Gallo truly put the J in justice for me. An indescribable happiness is the best way I can describe the way I felt when Mr. Gallo’s hard work and dedication paid off in the end. My case was dismissed! We were finally heard! The road wasn’t easy and it takes a special type of person to handle this typical situation. No words can describe how honored I am to have had this man by my side fighting every step of the way because he believed in me and he knew I was INNOCENT! I call him My Winnie the Pooh. He is very kind and everyone enjoys his company, but in the end, he is still a bear nobody should ever go up against! Mr. Gallo, I thank you for giving me my life back!

Mr. Gallo prevented a stupid mistake from becoming a felony conviction and blemish on my otherwise spotless record. I do not live in Ellis County, but was fortunate enough to know someone who does that referred me to Mr. Gallo. Mr. Gallo was very professional and honest when I met him, but I was di...sappointed when he didn't immediately promise to have the case thrown out. I had become the victim of a Craigslist scam, when I attempted to cash a fraudulent check (unbeknownst to me) in Ellis County. Though I was leery of putting a decision or job so important in the hands of someone I don't know, I read all the reviews and hired Mr. Gallo to represent me, for the felony charge of Forgery of a Financial Instrument. The whole situation was a nightmare for me; my job, integrity, and Second Amendment Rights were all at risk of being crushed overnight. Mr. Gallo was quick to respond to all my emails, although they were not as detailed as I had anticipated. I have never needed a lawyer before, but I was expecting him to provide a complete plan of action, evidence list, and step-by-step instructions. Maybe I am a bit of a control freak, but it became clear Mr. Gallo wanted me to sit back and let him handle everything, without involving me in any additional stress from the interworking of the legal process. He did make the effort to call me personally when there where any significant developments in my case. I really appreciated this, since it is so rare to talk to someone directly on the phone these days. While it did take longer than I had hoped (8 months), Mr. Gallo was able to get the DA to completely drop my case without a trial or conviction. I believe Mr. Gallo's experience as previous DA and reputation in Ellis County served as a marked advantage. I do not know how his rates compare to other local lawyers, but I believe the outcome was worth every penny! I highly recommend Mr. Gallo for criminal cases.

If you are facing criminal charges in Ellis county, I strongly recommend that you make Joseph Gallo your first call. In addition to being thoroughly knowledgeable of the law and current changes to legislation, he has an intimate knowledge of the Ellis county criminal justice system and the people inv...olved with it. I have no doubt that his skills obtained the best possible outcome in my case. Mr. Gallo embodies the concept of attorneys being referred to as "counselor". He was frequently in contact, not only to update me about the case, but to provide solid counsel about decisions I should make in order to both enhance my position before the court and avoid similar problems in the future. No one wants to have to hire a criminal defense attorney, but getting to know Joe Gallo and his staff was a bright spot in an otherwise difficult period. He truly regarded me as a human being rather than merely an appointment time or case number!
