Well, i got stopped and accused of dui. Went to jail and the first thing i did when i got out was too look for the best lawyer in Ellis County. I asked around for recommendations and i kept hearing Joe's name. There i go to meet Mr. Gallo. The first thing Joe told me was that if i hire him that my ...problems become his and i have nothing to worry about. We talked for about a hour and that was it. Joe took my case and worked every single angle available. We met a couple of times, we went to court a couple of times, and then we had the dismissal for evidence court date. If anybody can imagine, that was the big one and this can make it or break it. Joe seen something in the video that he told me was going to pressure the state into a rock and a hard place. Well he was right and my case got dismissed.. WAAAA LAAAAA, just like he called it .. DISMISSED. Joe effort's and my dismissal gave me back my life.. i had my career on the line as well as future ventures riding on this dismissal and Joe got it dismissed. Thank You Joe, i have no words on how to thank you ... Joe and his team are the way too go if someone gets in a situation like mine.

I have much appreciation for the professional and personal guidance Joe offered throughout my legal proceedings. This was the first time I faced serious legal trouble with the state which caused a level of concern as this could affect my professional career. I was charged with a Class A Misdemeanor (...BAC > .15) and a Felony (Evading Arrest) in Ellis County. I'm originally from Dallas and hiring the right attorney was going to be crucial. I performed my due diligence and ultimately opted to hire Mr. Gallo. From inception to completion Joe excelled and far exceeded my expectations. He asked for honesty and truthfulness throughout the proceedings. He was honest and clear with any communications. Joe's service and dedication to his clients are admirable. My main concern was the felony charge as this could potentially ruin my professional career and Joe was able to get the case dismissed and not prosecuted. The outcome of the misdemeanor was fair and just and I could not be anymore satisfied with the results. Joe made the process as smooth as possible and provided personal advice moving forward. He was nonjudgmental and his response time to any questions/concerns provided additional assurance that I made the RIGHT decision. Once again, thank you Joe for your legal representation!

Mr. Gallo went above and beyond to help me with my dwi and dwli cases. He was always prompt when responding to my emails, very professional and easy to reach. I would rehire him in a heartbeat if I needed to. He always kept me in the loop and any little update that happened he would let me know. He t...old me what to expect from the start, didn’t beat around the bush and try to sugar coat things. He had his mind set on the prosecutor dropping the charge from a class B to a class C which the prosecutor was not able to do so instead of giving up he went to the prosecutors boss and was able to get the charge dropped to a class C. I’m very grateful to Mr. Gallo for everything he did for me. I will recommend him to family and friends without question. Thank you Mr. Gallo!!!!

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.
