Best Lawyer In Dallas, Will Fight For You

Mr. Gallo was able to bring my felony first degree possession charge down to 2 years deferred probation. He went over and beyond to assure I wouldn’t do any jail time and enabled me to keep my record clean. I have to thank him for that, and I appreciate his efforts I would certainly recommend him for... your defense.

My Hero

I was a hot mess when I first met and Joseph gallo. He was so incredibly calm and was able to calm me down. I was being charged with a felony possession of controlled substance. All I could think about was the fact that I was going to jail the worst possible thing. Joe explained everything to me ste...p-by-step and told me to remain calm that everything was going to be okay. I was able to contact him at Anytime by email and was able to get such quick responses to any questions and or concerns that I had. It's hard finding a lawyer in a scary situation. This man was absolutely amazing he got me the best deal possible, it was actually a miracle. All I can say is thank you so much for helping me and my family. He said he would have my back no matter what and he did just that have my back. I will never forget the awesome job that Joe did for me.

Joe Gallo saved my life

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.

EXCELLENT Attorney!

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.
