"I endorse this lawyer. Tom is qualified, professional and provides a high degree of commitment and experience to the clients he represents."
"Tom does a great job for his clients. Tom and I have been opposing counsel on cases and he has represented his clients well. I have also referred clients to Tom and they have been happy. Tom has also referred clients to me - which shows that he knows when he should take a case and when he should refer a case to someone more suited for the case/client."

His understanding of complex legal situations and contracts is impeccable. An astute legal mind combined with the highest standards of integrity make Tom an excellent choice to hire as your attorney."
"I refer clients to Tom with peace of mind. His experience as a mediator infuses his litigation practice with a holistic perspective. He understands how personalities and human nature can hinder, or facilitate, resolution of a case. A rare gift. In addition, Tom is a great communicator and fierce advocate. Specifically, Tom listens to his clients, internalizes their personal goals in the case, and then seeks to achieve the best result tailored to the client's personal goals. It sounds simple, but it is not a common practice in today's legal world. I recommend Tom Gallagher without reservation."
"I have referred several clients to Tom and all of them have been more than happy with their results. From wills to contracts, to mediation and trial, Tom works non-stop to make sure his clients needs are met."
