Amazing Attorney Galash

Attorney Nadia Galash is a very compassionate and dedicated attorney. She helped me with my DUI situation. She did everything in her power to help me fight the complicated situation I was in. She accompanied me in every court hearing, and DMV hearing, she was very professional and did everything just... right. I TRUST and have confidence in Nadia's work professions (Criminal, and Immigration) and I believe that is a quality not all attorneys have to offer. I highly recommend Attorney Nadia Galash she is a very intelligent person & has lots of potential.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
