Review

I hired Mr Galambos to help me with my case regarding a felony I was charged with. He was extremely competent. Also very kind and compassionate. He was also able to help me navigate the sometimes tricky paperwork. His secretary was also very kind and professional.

Great Lawyer and Person

I recently had a close friend who needed legal help. I was involved in providing my support and I want to share my impressions of the service provided by this firm. The lead attorney in the case was Mr. Guy Galambos; I found him to be a man of integrity who showed genuine concern, was extremely com...petent and made himself available whenever needed. The case was very complicated and Mr. Galambos was able to navigate between various parties and agencies and achieve a good result. I highly recommend Mr. Galambos, his partners and staff.

Best Possible Outcome

I hired Mr. Galambos to help me out with two misdemeanor charges I received within 90 days of each other. This not only could have made me lose my license for a whole year, but also could have made these misdemeanors permanent on my record. Mr. Galambos negotiated with the prosecutors to making my pu...nishment a simple infraction which resulted in a small fine that I easily paid off. Guy Galambos is a great person who is very easy to talk to and a great lawyer who will significantly help anyone out! I highly recommend him.

Disappointing

I wish I would have saved my money and used a public defender. More often then not did not show up when he said he would. Would not return phone calls or emails within a timely manner. Perhaps my case was too much for him to handle? Like I said I would have been better off w a PD.

Replied last January 13, 2016

This is not a review by a client of Mr. Galambos. There have been no complaints to his office or the state bar. If an attorney does not show up for court there is a record of failing to appear. Mr. Galambos has never failed to appear in court for one of his clients. This is clearly not true and is a false review.

I'll be on vacation!

Mr. Galambos was great to work with and handled my case like a professional. I ended up having a vacation planned during a scheduled court date and Mr. Galamabos was able to handle all proceedings without me stepping a foot into court. In addition, the final outcome for the case was extremely favor...able for me and I have no doubt that it turned out that way due to Mr. Galambos' great working relationship with the local district attorneys. I can't recommend Mr. Galambos enough for any and all legal needs!
