Mr. Gallo, We want to thank you for taking the case of our 21 year old son. We never imagined that we would be put into such a situation from one of our children. After doing some research, your name was at the top of our list. From the moment we meet, we knew you were the man for the job. Mr. ...Gallo took the time to meet with us, explain how things should work and give us some expectations how to how the process would work. He made us feel comfortable in what to expect in the turbulent times ahead. He told us from the get go that he would be in touch each time that he had something to share. He followed through with that statement. Mr. Gallo made the process much easier than it could have been had we not had his expertise. From the scheduled pre arranged arrest, to the bond being taken care of, to the bail bonds procedure, to the final courtroom appearance before the judge, Mr. Gallo worked with us and followed through with his word. Mr. Gallo is very well respected in his community and the working environment he is involved in. His knowledge of the system and the people within that system is flawless. We highly recommend Mr. Gallo. His confidence level in himself speaks volumes with his actions. The care in which he spent talking to both our son and us as the parents, showed that he truly cares for his clients but also for the law. He followed through with our request as the clients to make sure the right thing was done but yet did it with out involving our family or our name into the public eye. If you are ever in the need of a Criminal Defense Lawyer especially in the Ellis County area, Joe Gallo is your man. Thanks Joe for you support and help. TW

Originally I had met with a handful of other lawyers, all which were pretty appealing, but then I met this quirky guy and fell in love! He gives it to you as straight as it gets and I wouldn’t ask for anythIng more from him. He has continued to keep in touch since my case has been handled, and he got... me the absolute bare minimum sentencing. There isn’t one thing I would change about this amazing lawyer. He went the extra mile, above and beyond. He is hands down everything I could have asked for in this nightmare of a case.

Last year, I was arrested for my 2nd DWI and I felt like my good life was ruined. My medical license was also going to be in jeopardy. After making bond, I immediately began searching for the best criminal defense attorney that I could find. I interviewed a few, but Mr. Gallo's office was the only ...one to call me back with important information that the other attorneys never even mentioned. After researching, I discovered that Mr. Gallo is very experienced on all sides (Prosecutor, Municipal Judge, and Defense Attorney). He was always was very direct with me and he didn't sugarcoat anything. His confidence gave me the courage to fight this out, even knowing I could actually face some jail time. He is very honest, doesn't butter it up, he will tell you both the best & the worst case scenarios. Everything he does is "Balls to the wall." He will fight hard for you and is very impressive in the courtroom. We eventually set my case for a jury trial, but I never had to even go to trial because he won a pre-trial motion to suppress the evidence. After that, the case was dismissed. Thanks to Mr. Gallo, I now have my life back!

I would like to enthusiastically recommend Joseph Gallo for anyone in need of a solid criminal defense attorney in Waxahachie/Ellis County. Last summer while driving through Waxahachie, I was arrested and charged with 2 misdemeanors (DWI with a blood alcohol of .28 , possession of marijuana) and ...1 felony (possession of marijuana). I am a physician, therefore the Texas Medical Board was notified of the charges, and they immediately suspended my medical license. I was in dire straits and freaking out about the potential jail time, loss of my medical license and career, and having a felony on my record. My sister is an attorney in California and she spent several days thoroughly researching and vetting attorneys to find the best representation possible. We chose Mr. Gallo based on his extensive experience in both prosecution and defense. During my multiple meetings with Mr. Gallo he was extremely knowledgeable, professional, and compassionate. He did a great job of presenting complex legal matters in a clear simple format that I could understand. My felony case went to the grand jury and had a high likelihood of going to trial. Mr. Gallo presented a convincing letter to the jury outlining my background, mistakes committed by the arresting officer, and case law surrounding the matter. The jury voted to "No Bill" the felony charge ! Mr. Gallo also negotiated a more than fair settlement for the 2 misdemeanors. The possession of marijuana charge was dismissed altogether. For the DWI, I did not have to serve any jail time and my driver's licence was never suspended. Along the way, I had a few other attorney friends suggest that I should go with a bigger name attorney from Austin, but I never entertained this proposition as I had full faith in Mr. Gallo. I strongly recommend 'going local' when it comes to criminal cases because the relationships your attorney has with the legal community and their reputation is much more important than a flashy resume. Mr. Gallo had excellent rapport with me, my family, and the healthcare attorneys involved in my case. He replied to everyone's emails within a few hours. In our most recent meeting, he stressed that he would be available to help with any ongoing issues with the case and any other legal matters that may arise in the future. I consider Joe Gallo a lifesaver, a friend, and my legal go to guy for life.

I'm not sure where to even start with how great Mr. Gallo is both as an attorney as well great person I would call a friend. I have never thought I would need a criminal defense attorney in a thousand years. Our relationship started when I charged with a 1st degree felony that I had no part in. O...bviously I was in a panic, I have never done anything wrong in my life other than a few traffic tickets. I remember my first meeting with Gallo, I was trying to keep it together but on the inside I was freaking out. By the end of that meeting Gallo had some how had me feeling positive and told me to go home, relax and let him handle it. During the entire year and a half process he always knew what to say to make me feel at ease. During the whole process Mr. Gallo always kept me in the loop and updated as soon as new information came to him. He is very thorough in the case, going over each and every detail as well as making sure you understand everything. So at the end of this year and a half my 1st degree felony was dismissed, it was all over and I felt relieved. If it was not for Mr. Gallo with all his wisdom and expertise I'm not sure how I would have made it through this whole ordeal. My advise here is, if you are looking for a criminal defense attorney stop looking and call Mr. Gallo now. I now look forward that when I talk with Gallo now it is over better topics that do not involve me going to prison.
