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 highly recommend Mr. Joseph Gallo for legal representation. He is highly efficient, organized and honest. I found myself in a terrible situation and saw no way out except jail time. I was charged with three felonies for possession of drugs. Joe was able to get two of the felonies reduced to misdeme...anors and negotiated no probation, fine or court cost for the felony I was charged with. He didn't even charge me for the felony case at all. He kept me updated on every detail along the way. I felt at ease the moment I met him. Everything he said he could do, he did and more. I'm so thankful we decided to hire him. Joe is a man of his word. I think of him as a friend now. If you need legal representation, put your mind at ease and let Joe take care of it.

I had a complicated case because I was living in another state when I recieved my DWI and I didnt require a vehicle to get around so I hesitated to get any restrictions lifted. When I moved back to Texas and needed to drive everywhere, the charges and restrictions between the two states were incredib...ly convoluted and my lawyer from the state that I was charged in was unreliable and unresponsive. I was at a total loss and was SO fortunate to have hired Mr. Gallo to not only get my temporary license while I finished the probationary requirements but he was also amazing enough to help afterwards AT NO EXTRA FEE to get my interlock igniton removed and all restrictions lifted from my license. He gave me the ability to finally put all of this behind me and I am forever thankful. Super efficient and extraordinarily dependable, I could not have been more pleased with the impeccable service provided!
