Mr. Gallas - Estate and Probate Attorney

Mr. Gallas thoroughly explained estate planning, the options and the advantages and disadvantages of the options to me. His demeanor made it comfortable to ask questions and get the information I needed to felt confident in my estate planning. He was thorough, clear and concise during the entire proc...ess. Mr. Gallas also showed compassion and empathy while handling probate matters for my family. I highly recommend Mr. Gallas for all estate planning and probate needs.

Thoughtful and approachable

Gabe has provided estate, will, and trust documents and advice for over ten years for me and my family members. He listens carefully and inquires tactfully to get the information he needs. He describes pros, cons, and costs of different approaches. He has provided support and practical advice for... estate and trust administration matters. Although I know he has many clients, he promptly responds to email or phone calls and somehow recalls the details of my family's situation. Dealing with wills, estates and trusts can be sensitive and even distressing - Gabe is a soothing and calming presence that I appreciate very much.

excellent attorney

I have hired Gabe Gallas twice to walk me through the probate process: the first time as I was the executor of a friend's estate in 2014 and 2021 (now) as I as execute my my father's estate. Gabe is responsive, kind, smart, and efficient. He has recently opened up a solo practice in downtown Austi...n. He is very easy to work with and makes the confusing process of executing a loved one's wishes managable. I recommend him highly without any reservations.

Lost and Found. A Peaceful Experience!

Gabriel Gallas came to me through our financial advisor. I was so lost when my wife was taken away way too early by cancer. Not wanting to lose everything she worked so hard for her entire life in preparation to pass it on to our child, I approached Gabriel Gallas to help with the Probate Process a...nd Trust Entity set up procedures. As soon as we met from the first meeting, Gabriel set my mind at ease and assured me that everything was going to be fine. He pretty much walked us through all the scenarios and obstacles that he foresee that I must go through in this process. He explained all the intricate details I have to follow to get from a Lost state to where I can find a secure and peaceful closure state of having to deal with so much legal proceedings and paper filing and everything in between. Gabe truly brought me from a confused state of being to an epiphany moment of being able to see the light at the end of the tunnel in such a gentle understanding manner that I felt compelled to recommend his services to my brother to begin his family trust set up process immediately. It was a great pleasure to have worked with you, Gabe. I will definitely be contacting you if any other family law related legal issues arise. Good Luck in all your future endeavors!

Very knowledgeable and professional

Our first experience with Estate Attorney in more than 10 years. Extremely easy to work with, extraordinarily low-key and thoughtful. All in the midst of COVID closing down the city. Gabe handled himself professionally and instilled confidence in us that we made an excellent choice to handle our E...state.
