James Michael Gallagher

Went from 4 to 12 nights with my daughter in four weeks when previous attorney twiddled his thumb for five months. Strategically negotiated a compromise rather than go into hearing where strong judicial bias and some of my own mistakes would have lowered my odds. Family law in Washington is shitty ...for men, and their should be a better-faster-cheaper way. But if you go to war bring a warrior!

Mike is a great lawyer who was more than capable to come into my complicated case and see and deal with the important issues with results right away upon appearance in the case. For those of you getting screwed by an evil lying ex, HIRE MIKE. Your children will thank you for it, and I thank Mike fo...r it!

Divorce & custody battles are seldom pretty so if you're forced into a fight I recommend having the best representation possible. As a father I thought my rights where limited but Mr. Gallagher proved that not to be the case. Mr. Gallagher fought for my rights as a father and thanks to him my son liv...es with his Daddy. J Michael Gallagher is the Best of the Best!

And only Gallagher was able to decipher and correct the mess my ex, other attorneys & the courts created. There were 30 attorneys involved one way or another. I would have saved a lot of money if I hired him sooner! He was flexible on the payment arrangements, he and his office staff were pleasant,... professional and seemed very efficient. I would be wary of those big law law firms, Gallagher was very accessible and took a personal interest in my case. He is aggressive, not one of those Namby-Pamby attorneys that wants milk it for all it is worth. He didn't make any promises, he just did his best and he got the job done! I would have liked to work things out and mediate, Gallagher does that too but my ex lied and got me locked up based on lies. Because of him, my ex knows that she will be accountable for her actions now if she tries any tricks. Gallagher will not pull any punches. It was "standard procedure" to subpoena the GAL(s) . All the G.A.L.'s believed my ex, one by one Gallagher made sure there information was put under the microscope and did not mess around ,he knew how to "draw the line", rather than behave like some passive attorney with no balls! Family law is a very specialized practice, it takes a attorney rock solid values who is not scared to take on the system and who is honest. This guy worth his weight in gold and I would highly recommend him! If i would have don't one thing differently in my case it would have been to hire Gallagher from the onset! David B
