Simply the best - you won't be disappointed!

I highly recommend Galen. He represented me in a wrongful death suit. He was compassionate, professional, and timely in all communications. He set reasonable expectations during the initial consultation and I am very pleased with the final outcome.

Galen was amazing!

Galen was there for me in a hard time whe. I got into my car accident I was hurt and with out a car he worked quickly and efficiently to help my case. If I ever needed anything regarding my case he was quick to respond and follow through. Very professional and overall a very nice man.

Great lawyer

I was involved in a car accident that was not my fault. After a few months of struggle dealing with the insurance company on my own, with no positive results, I hired Galen. He immediately started working on my case. He was very knowledgeable and apprised me of all my rights. He lead the discovery p...rocess and negotiations with the insurance company. He fought for me and moved the case along. He was professional, proactive, and kept me well informed throughout the case. He negotiated a fair settlement for me, and I was very happy with the outcome. Galen saved me a great deal of stress and aggravation. I recommend Galen to everyone, including my friends and family.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • 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.
