Personal injury

Mr Galindo and his team, from Marc Gold to Mr Wynn were very professional and compassionate in our families time of need. They handled all of our legal questions in a clear and concise manner. Thank you Alex for being so compassionate in such a vulnerable time of need. Our family is doing better, one... day at time. Once again, Thank you for all you have done for us!!

This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Lost My Medical Malpractice Case

Mr Galindo took on my case after I had defeated a MSJ in pro per. I spent $5000 of my own living expense money after being catastrophically injured to fight for my rights for justice and recovery. He told me he would have my expert witness demonstrate the way I was injured in the hospital, but then ...changed his mind last minute. I was very seriously injured. It affected the momentum of my trial. Furthermore, He failed to make legal objections when the defense attorney repeatedly lied and mislead the jury. I was not protected in my trial. My trial was not fair because Mr Galindo did not object at all. Mr Galindo did not fight the way I expected him to in trial. I urged Mr Galindo to appeal it, but he left me hanging. I had to beg him, write letters which he acted indignant to and ignored, until he filed a Motion to be Relieved as counsel after losing my case. I felt very hurt by that. Then after we finally spoke, he was hostile toward me. Eventually he filed a Motion for new Trial but refused to file an appeal. Then he expected me to argue the Motion for New Trial. I had to ask the judge to please have him do it, since he's the attorney and wrote the Motion. The judge had him argue it, but the judge did not grant his Motion and Mr Galindo tried to convince the judge, but I don't think he cared enough to really win it for me. I had a meritorious case. He didn't fight for me. And when he lost it, he had no sympathy, remorse or compassion. Now the defendant's have a cost bill of over $150,000 against plus I'm out personal medical expenses and bills sent to collections of almost a million dollars, as well as spending $5000 of my own money to get my case to trial before hiring Mr Galindo. I firmly believe he should be appealing my case, but he has washed his hands of me and left me hanging like this in need of further surgery, too.

I would use Alexis Galindo for any case that he accepts to take. He is knowledgeable, confident, friendly and gets the Job done. He is someone you can talk to without feeling intimidated. In fact he is helping me with my case at the moment. So, I would recommend him to any person who needs a Lawyer....he actually helped me with my accident case.

Wrongful death lawyer | Apr 09

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I endorse this lawyer.I endorse this lawyer. This lawyer's contributions to this site are invaluable. I happily endorse this lawyer's work, ability and charity to those asking for advice. Further, I like to endorse good lawyers, because I find the AVVO rating system to be dishonest and corrupt. Frequently, disgruntled litigants on the opposing side (not your clients) will bash a lawyer on this site, pretending to be "your" client. When this situation is brought to the attention of AVVO, Avvo refuses to do anything to investigate and remove the false, slanderous "client" reviews. AVVO is a mean petty internet blog site trying to make money off of lawyers, and does not care if the public receives truthful information."
