This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Surpassed my expectations!

I received a driving infraction for "per electronic device while driving" from the WSP in Pierce County, WA. I chose Ms. Gallinger because she has a very good reputation within our community (Military). I also found that Ms. Gallinger has a good reputation within our local area so I felt confident ...that she could help with this issue. Also, I was charged a reasonable flat fee for service. I liked the fact that I did not have to take time out of my day to meet with her or even to show up at the courthouse. My case was dismissed so I don't have to talk to my insurance or my employer about what happened. Meaning that I don't have to spend more money on insurance and I don't have to deal with my bosses and listen to them about how this looks on our organization. Thank you Ms. Gallinger, if I ever need a traffic attorney again, you’re at the top of my list.

HIGHLY recommend

Out of all the people I had spoke to after getting my ticket she was by far the most helpful. She answered any questions I had even if they probably seemed real dumb haha

Kenlynn is the best!

I hope I never need to hire Kenlynn again, but if I do I would not hesitate to hire her! I would not hesitate to refer her to anyone I know looking to hire a lawyer either. The process was seamless and not time consuming like I thought it would be. She handled it like the rockstar she is! Thank you... Kenlynn!!!
