About James
Biography
I am an experienced criminal defense lawyer who fights for the rights of those facing criminal charges in my hometown, Las Vegas, Nevada. As an attorney, I handle a variety of misdemeanor and felony cases, including drug offenses, DUI, battery - domestic violence, prostitution, violent crimes and sexual offenses.
In 1987, I graduated from Bishop Gorman High School. In 1991, I earned a Bachelor of Arts and Sciences in International Relations from The University of San Diego before earning my juris doctor from the University of San Diego in 1996.
My law career began in Las Vegas in 1996. My focus originally was on civil litigation and sports management. However, in 2000, I began to focus my career on criminal defense and helping those accused of crimes.
In April 2004, I founded my own criminal defense practice, then known as the Law Offices of James Gallo Jr, Esq. Now, as the primary attorney at Gallo Law Office, I have defended thousands of clients, from those dealing with minor traffic violations to people facing complex sexual assault allegations.

DUI relief
Mr. Gallo noticed some errors by the police when they arrested my wife. Today he was able to use that information and ultimately had the charges reduced to reckless driving. She never lost her license. No SR-22 insurance. Wow. More than pleased - amazed actually.

Great Lawyer
I found him from the Express bail bonds who told me he is a great lawyer. I normally go there for bails! I was able to get a free consultation to see if I needed a lawyer or not and James even brought up how I needed a lawyer but it doesnt have to be him. I ended up staying with James because he got...

Top Notch Atty reasonably priced
If you live out of state and have a LV case or warrant, James Gallo is the man to see! He knows what needs to get done to resolve your case quickly with the best results. He spends the time on you, puts in the work and personally I felt undercharged. You want this man on your side representing you.

James is the the best and will always be like family now!!!
As a youth I played with the boundaries of the law on more occasions than any free man should and James was there every time I needed him. To say that James is more like family now would be an understatement. He’s always taken the extra steps needed to ensure I was aware of my rights and has never ma...
