Excellent Lawyer

I refer all of my personal injury cases to Joe. He’s a dependable and trustworthy lawyer who always looks out for his clients and gets the job done. I know that when I send cases his way, my clients are in good hands. He’s easy to work with, communicates well, and fights hard to make sure his clients... get the best possible outcome.

Don’t hesitate - hire Joe ASAP!

I was in a terrible car accident in February 2025. I was referred to Joe from a friend and he was the best lawyer I could ask for. He explained everything to me, was super responsive, and most importantly - he ensured that I got the proper care to heal. He also is tenacious, and does not back down at... the first offer. I would recommend Joe to anyone, and would use him again in a heartbeat! He is amazing. Thanks for everything, Joe!

Hire Joseph!!

Joseph is hands down the best representation I could have and will continue to refer him to those I love and care for. He served me while I had two overlapping car accidents I was not at fault for. I suffered long term injuries and was looking at a lot expenses for that. Joseph took complete care of ...me. He took an interest in my needs, and was a total "shark" fighting for me to make this right. I absolutely recommend hiring Joseph, he will build a real relationship with you, fight to the end for you, and make sure you get what you need and much more.

It means a lot that you trusted me to guide you through such a difficult time — especially while dealing with not just one, but two accidents and the challenges that came with them. I’m so glad we were able to secure the outcome you deserved and make sure your needs were fully taken care of. Your strength and patience throughout the process were truly admirable. I’m honored to have been in your corner and grateful for your trust and referrals. If you or your loved ones ever need anything in the future, please don’t hesitate to reach out — I’ll always be here to help. – Joe Gallo

Medical massage therapist/Lymphedema oncology

Joseph is very professional and knowledgeable in his field. It is hard to believe that he spent time explaining and advising without getting any sort of compensation from me. Some other lawyers immediately want a consultation fee. Not with Joseph. Can’t thank you enough for your valuable time and kno...wledge.

Maria, thank you so much for your kind words. I truly appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. I believe everyone deserves clear guidance and honest advice — especially when they’re facing uncertain circumstances — and I’m glad I could help you without adding extra stress or cost. Your appreciation means a lot, and I’m always happy to be a resource whenever you need support or direction. Thank you again for your trust and kind words! – Joe Gallo

Car accident with kids

I was unfortunately in a horrible flipped car accident with my 2 young kids. I called Joseph from the ambulance on the way to the hospital. Joseph was instrumental in understanding the nature of the accident and provided regular support, knowledge and guidance about the insurance process, hospital b...ills, and working with the police. In one of the scariest times of my life, trusting in Joseph’s advice along the way made the situation as a whole less traumatic.

Thank you so much for sharing your experience and for trusting me during such a frightening and emotional time. I can only imagine how overwhelming it must have been to go through that accident — especially with your children involved — and I’m truly grateful that you reached out when you did. My goal is always to shoulder as much of the stress as possible so families can focus on what truly matters: healing and being together. I’m relieved to know that my guidance brought you some peace through such a difficult process. Wishing you and your kids continued health and healing. – Joe Gallo
