Sal Gallardo

Can’t say enough great things about Sal. First he was able to get a case dismissed for me that both the DA as well as the “victim” didn’t want to have dropped. That was amazing and really all that mattered in the end. But also, Sal’s fee was fair and I felt he was very competent and he seems to b...e well liked and friendly with every on the DA’s staff that I saw him interact with at least. Im sure it’s this everywhere, but In a small county like Santa Cruz it’s personal relationships and the interpersonal strategy that your attorney employs and Sal seems to understands this very well. Sal really did go above and beyond with me. I’m not an easy client to wrangle and can be forgetful and Sal was always sure to remind me of important events and willing to sit down with me and give some legal advice. This was all extra work for him and he didn’t ask for extra money or complain. He’s definitely not an attorney who is going to nickel and dime you. Sal came referred from an attorney I respect and found out a friend of mine had used him and had been happy with her outcome. Through my business I’ve had to use corporate counsel, criminal defense attornies civil defense attorneys of all types, contract lawyers most from prestigious law firms and I sit on boards that lobby the government so I’m surrounded by lawyers and this the first time I’ve written a review for anything so consider me a fan of this guy.

I was referred to Sal by a colleague who had a similar case and had a very positive experience. I contacted Sal the following week, and he promptly responded and was eager to assist. Throughout the process, he maintained close communication with me and provided valuable and relevant advice when neede...d. Sal was professional yet approachable, making it easy for me to discuss my concerns with him. He successfully handled my case to its conclusion, and even after that, he was willing to address my additional questions and issues. I would certainly recommend him in the future.

I would highly recommend Mr. Gallardo to anyone in need of an excellent criminal defense attorney. He is incredibly professional, straight forward and a master problem solver. At the time of my arrest, Sal started to work my case right away giving me the exact advice needed which resulted in the b...est possible outcome. He was incredibly honest giving me straight forward answers and emotional support along the way. Every time I felt stressed and thinking the worst he would always have a positive outlook for the future of my case. I always felt like I was going to win with him on my side. There are not enough words to express my gratitude. Thank you, Sal.

**⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐** I can’t recommend Sal highly enough. From the very beginning, he was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly responsive. He took the time to explain every step of the process and made sure I understood all my options. Thanks to his expertise and dedication, my DUI charge was successful...ly reduced to a wet and reckless, which made a huge difference for my future. He truly fought for the best possible outcome and treated me with respect the entire time. If you’re looking for an attorney who knows the law and genuinely cares about their clients, this is the one to call.

I cannot say enough good things about my experience working with Sal Gallardo. From the beginning, he brought an incredible amount of knowledge, professionalism, and genuine compassion to my case. I knew I was innocent, but the situation I was facing was extremely serious especially with a profession...al license to uphold. He understood exactly what was at stake and guided me through every step with patience and clarity. He took the time to answer all my questions, made sure I understood the process, and helped make an overwhelming situation far less frightening. His expertise, confidence, and dedication made all the difference. Thanks to his hard work and commitment, my case was completely dismissed. I’m truly grateful for the time, care, and attention he gave to my case. If you need an attorney who is knowledgeable, personable, easy to talk to, and truly invested in protecting your future, I highly recommend Sal Gallardo. I deeply appreciate everything he did for me
