Joe is the man, he was completely honest and upfront on my cases and informed me that what I requested as plea would be impossible right off the bat due to prior charges I had received for similar offenses. But then the impossible happens I not only get the plea deals I was hoping for on just one cas...e but I got it on all three they where deferred adjudication probation!!! Even the judge was in disbelief at the deal he had got me and almost didn't sign off on it but Joe worked his magic and everything worked out better than I could have ever hoped for. If your in trouble and want the best possible out come no matter the situation Joe is the one to hire hands down the best decision I could have made!! Thanks again Joe!!

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!

Joseph Gallo is a brilliant, dependable and very personable lawyer. With his comprehensive educational and professional backgrounds, there is no doubt that he is a top notch caliber lawyer, you could see that "there is light at the end of a tunnel." Being a former DA in Ellis County, he definitely kn...ows the culture and how the system works. Because of his extensive experience as a criminal defense lawyer, he is an expert of this field and applied a smart strategy defense and prevented his clients from going to jail. I was saved by Joe from being prosecuted due to his proactive and smart way of handling my case. I was able to acquire back my freedom and peace of mind. He is a very candid and very detailed lawyer, and would explain everything all the scenarios what could happen in the process. If you have a question about your case, just email him and he easily email you back promptly and keep you updated. It wasn't easy for me to find a good lawyer to begin with, and I was very cautious in choosing who is the best, because there is a lot out there that's very enticing but you never know what you've got until you see the real scenario. But because of his very good reputation and excellent reviews on this website, that absolutely made my mind to make an appointment and I learned that he is a lawyer that really cares about his client. So I hired Joseph Gallo and I've got what I've wished for... Thank you very much Joe for your help!
