Exceptional

John is an excellent and exceptional lawyer. He listens and responds attentively. He was quick to respond to questions I had about my case. He did an exceptional job and I recommend him anytime. He knew how to approach my case, gave good recommendations and follow through. His tact and aggressive ...approach to defend me was perfect. He made a difficult and tough situation go smooth and without any problems. This was the first time I had to hire a lawyer and I’m extremely grateful it was John.

Unmatched Litigators

My case was won by the unmatched professionalism that Reid, John, and the entire team brought to the courtroom. Prior to working with them, the legal process made me feel frustrated, helpless, and isolated, but the team guided me through each step. I appreciate them taking the time to communic...ate expectations and various options regarding costs. They never pressured me to accept any of the court's offers and consistently had my back, even when the case and my personal life became more challenging. Having relied on this team in court for over a year, I strongly recommend them.

John got my gun rights back easier than i had expected

When going through to regain my gun rights i went to dechant law and was connected with john galligan. From the beginning he was very straightforward and clear on how to go about my case. His persistence and determination into getting all the information to navigate my case went above and beyond and ...before i knew it i had my gun rights restored. I highly recommend him and if i ever need anything again i know exactly who i am going to.

Tough & unusual legal case

I highly recommend John Galligan- he worked on a very difficult and unusual case for my son. He is very professional and explored every legal angle to make sure that we got the best possible outcome in court, which we did. John is very responsive and the entire staff is great. Thank you, John!

Amazing Experienced Representative

I highly recommend John Gilligan as your criminal representative. The amount of dedication John has brought to both my cases he’s handled brought favorable outcomes. With his knowledge and experience in his profession, delivers aggressive arguments towards the DA/Prosecutors. I felt extremely hopeles...s and disappointed catching a second DUI charge. However, John dived straight into my discovery and pointed out weakness within the arrest. With said so knowledge and commitment, John was able to dismiss my DUI charge and reduce it to a much lesser charge with less consequences. Overall, Its clear John is in the right profession with no other intent but to bring the best overall outcome. I strongly suggest considering John for any of your criminal matters. His work truly speaks for himself. Thank you John and the law firm you represent, you definitely earned your spot. I’d no doubt go straight back to you guys for any criminal legal matter!
