Fritzie Galliani

I hired Galliani law on a referral for a child us today case. I felt the meeting were repetitive and unnecessary. My case involved LGBTQ+ matter, although the firm stated they had experience with such matters, I believe they had only had a handful cases (say 1 or 2). Missed appointments, missed deadl...ines and creative billing.

Making a judgment on a lawyer can be subjective and personal. The context of situation is also important. It is not possible to assume a lawyer to know everything, even within the area of family law. It is simply too much to know. I am surprised to see that F. Galliani has received 3 poor reviews bef...ore my writing. One must wonder if these were selected group of disgruntled clients with bad outcome. Any opposing parthy can also easily put in a faked review to hurt the lawyer of interest. One also must wonder why a few other lawyers has >30 almost always perfect reviews as it appears to be fabricated. Please read these reviews with caution. I myself is a physician and go through a high conflict divorce. My circumstance has been rather extreme with my estranged wife putting me in jail with false domestic violence allegation. I am at risk of losing my medical license. I hired a lawyer with near perfect AVVO rating and nearly perfect review with > 30 reviewers. This lawyer did not do much and rather difficult to reach him when I am in crisis. He did not timely serve documents nor respond emails. I reluctantly substituted him with F. Galliani. Yes. He kept all of my money without refunding the remaining retainer. I used my professional judgement to pick F. Galliani after a lengthy conversation. It turns out to be more accurate. She is very realistic and proceed with caution. Yes. She is not perfect. She is sometimes disorganized and does not remember all of info. I want her to remember. But what do you expect in a busy law practice? I could not remember every detail on every patient's medical info in my busy practice and often kindly asked the patient to refresh my memory. But I must testify that I put more trust in a busy, but less organized lawyer than a lawyer, who is not busy and has all the time for you. F. Galliani is skillful and insightful. She makes time for me, but she will also let me know when she is busy and not accessible. I am realistic and work well with her as a team. What is the outcome so far? I got my false domestic violence allegation completely dismissed. Despite that my wife fought hard by leveraging restraining order and false domestic violence allegation, I won back 22% of my kid's custody and on my way to 50%. Now we are fighting on asset that my wife has used undue leverage with result still pending. What is important about F. Galliani is that she does acknowledge her limits. She does research on areas that are more specialized and not her forte. She does consult other colleagues on matters that are in gray zone. A good professional is to know his or her limit and acknowledges the risk exposure of situation and weakness of any facts. She is as such. F. Galliani is a superb criminal and family lawyer for me. I have worked with her for a long case of 8 months and still going. My wife is on 4th family lawyer and gradually losing. I hope that you can make judgment about F Galliani based on a lengthy legal matter rather on others with short legal encounter. I wish best luck on readers of my review.

F. Galliani represented me in a divorce involving custody and property division. Instead of helping me and protecting me, she did quite the opposite. She divulged confidential information to the opponent and charged ridiculously for work she didn't do completely and for work that was done wrong, requ...iring me to seek services elsewhere to fix her mistakes. She even went as far as to not respond to opponent's motions, thereby the other side getting default against me-that's malpractice. She's always on vacation or out of the office. She has no business practicing family law-she's doing an extreme disservice to the community. My rights were not protected.
