Absolutely GREAT Attorney!

Michael is THE best attorney I’ve ever had/dealt with! Very knowledgeable about the situations of my case and helped me all along the way until my case was finished. He is very prompt returning calls and emails and always willing to answer my questions (no matter how ridiculous I thought they were).... Great sense of humor and always there for me. I can’t say it enough that he is a GREAT attorney and a great person as well. I HIGHLY recommend him!

Great Experience!

I originally seeked advice from Mr. Michael Galo reguarding an employment issue. We spoke over the phone to review my concerns and once we identified I had A valid case we set up an appointment to meet in person. My first impression of Mr. Galo was great right off the start. He was very informative a...nd understanding of the situation. The proper steps were taken to resolve my case with my prior employer and things went great! He is very professional, trustworthy, honest, and most importantly there to help you! He will give you his best, as he is very well informed. I sincerely recommend Mr. Galo to anyone needing a good lawyer to represent them to the best of their abilities! Thank you Mr. Galo.

Fearless Fighter

I don't even know where to begin thanking Mr. Galo. After suffering an extremely embarrassing, illegal employment discrimination, Mr. Galo never ceased to fight on my behalf. He is down to earth, passionate and has an incredible knowledge of the FMLA and ADA. Becky Camp, his paralegal; was helpful..., kept me up to date, always answered any question. Great teamwork led to a favorable outcome, he fights for the "little guy", protecting people from the bad employers. Mr. Galo is honest and upfront. Any person would be lucky and smart to be represented by The Galo Law Firm.

Phenomenal Lawyer!

Michael Galo is not only an exceptional lawyer, he is also passionate about his clients and seeing a just outcome. He fought for my rights and was very trustworthy. He and his paralegal, Becky Camp, worked diligently for me and we received a favorable outcome because of their hard work and dedication... to my case. I am grateful for all he did for me and know my outcome was favorable because of his passion, diligence and hard work. He truly cares about his clients and about seeing justice served on their behalf.

He's just an all-around good lawyer - smart, caring and professional - and one of the most respected peers in our labor and employment law community in San Antonio"

  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
