Best attorney

Mr. Gallo was the best attorney for my husband. He got the ball rolling ASAP! He pushed the other attorney to do the same and start the process to where he can get all of his time done to be sent where he needs to be. He's kept me up to date and very friendly and professional.

Mr. Gallo is what you want in an attorney

I hired Mr. Gallo to help me put an incident from my past to rest. He kept me completely informed from day one. During my consultation he told me what to expect, went over the possible outcomes, and gave me a packet with detailed information pertaining to my situation. During the consultation, he too...k his time and answered all of my questions. I never felt rushed. Mr. Gallo was diligent in seeking a speedy resolution for me. There were a few complications, but Mr. Gallo handled them with finesse. He kept me completely informed throughout the process. He even called me personally when I told him I don't check my e-mails. His main concern was to keep me informed, confident, and stress-free. Should I ever need an attorney again, I will not hesitate to hire Mr. Gallo. I would recommend him to anyone needing help with a criminal case. He is aggressive where it counts and patient with clients that are stressed. And he has a good sense of humor to boot.

My life was given back.

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 saved my record, my career, and my sanity!

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.
