Gallagher J Michael Atty

Mike is an aggressive, knowledgable attorney. He knows his way around the courts and knows how to get the job done. I really liked his staff especially Sharon and jack.

I am a Dad, I have «Engaged» Mike on a few occasions since I originally filed (and was eventually granted) FULL custody regarding my Son, this was a lengthy and complex «Custody Battle», involving several states, Restraining Orders, i multiple issues and false allegations, ie: psychopathic and anti-​social behavior on the mothers behalf. I have had to re-​visit this case a few times since it was originally filed in 2003 and I can say Mike has exceeded all my expectations in every possible regard! He is ethical, trustworthy, fair & honest. One thing that truly stands out is that he is truly concerned abut the children, in the case of my Son, his life would have been completely destroyed had he NOT been the case Mike removed ALL his mothers parental rights! Throughout the case, everyone wanted to believe the mother, the evidence spoke otherwise and he got to the bottom of it quicker than you can imagine. If your case requires an expert, as mine required many, or is even less complex, Mike has an aptitude for finding the smartest and most professional experts if needed to call on in their field. Last count there were 13 (Thirteen) 4 inch binders for my case, I had used several attorneys before him and wasted $ because these attorneys were more out for there own best interest (I was a bit naïve), I gave my full Faith & Confidence in Mike and his performed excellently in every regard. His staff is efficient, very professional and pleasant to deal with! It might seem like you will pay a bit more for MIke’s services, but trust me, I wish I’d hired him the first time, I’d saved a lot of $ from incompetent attorney’s and Guardian ad Litem’s
Thanks So Much Mike!!!

If you’re in need of a family law attorney, Mike will treat your case as if it was his own. Mike is real, wants to get you results and you see it in his work. He is about understanding your case and focusing on the facts… which matter most.
Most attorneys you hire talk a big game and the moment you lose you then realize, had I picked Mike Gallagher the first time, I wouldn’t have wasted thousands of dollars. Take my advice, I learned that after wasting 7k on attorneys who didn’t have the expertise in what they claimed they did. An attorney has to be present and walk in your shoes in order to get you results. Mike does that.
He is the ONLY attorney (which I have hired two others in the past) that required me to do «Homework.» Now let me just say, this homework may look daunting for some of you, but the key is, Mike wants to know the details, the facts and not «how» or «why» something happened. At first, I thought to myself, «Why do I have to do work… I just paid you man».If you think about it for just a second, you then realize after hiring him that results will follow because he is right there with you, in your story, in your life and protecting what is right; protecting your family.
In order to fight for your child you must step back, do your homework and Mike will represent you better than all the other attorneys who make promises they are not able to deliver or have an ego they really shouldn’t have.
Thank you Mike for all that you did for me and my family!

Mike and his staff were helpful and thorough during my divorce. I would highly recommend them.

I give this man ZERO stars. He is incompetent, unethical, and actually had the nerve to say to my 65 year old mother that she should be an exotic dancer with me as that was what I chose to do to for work to keep retaining him. And then kept asking when I was going to give him a «freebie»
This was the second time he had talked to me like this and the only reason I brought my mother yesterday was to «test» his professionalism.
He failed miserably into sexual harassment territory…
And from what I’ve heard after firing him and calling around to other attorneys, they weren’t surprised. As one said it, «He is your classic douchebag»
My mother and I both are planning to file a complaint to the bar association. He is lucky that that is all we are planning on doing, as he when we left, my mother broke down into tears. That son of a $&@!# made my mother cry!
What a dip shit. I should have known when I saw how disgustingly his wife looked at him during our first meeting…

I have used Michael Gallagher as my attorney for Divorce. We were able to quickly get divorced in 91 days, which is exactly what we wanted. Gallagher is very precise and doesn’t waste time. You get what you pay for, this guy follows through. you will not be disappointed with Gallagher. So if you need an attorney, stop looking because you have found him!

If I could give this man and his little minions zero stars, I would. This man and his team of attorneys are so crooked and immoral. I was a child (now adult) of one of his clients that was involved during a child support case. There are ways to go about a case, but slandering someone’s reputation with false claims that you cannot back up in court is childish and only makes the lawyer look very unprofessional. It can be a very emotional event for both sides, but 90% of what came from his side was so inappropriate and had no relevance to the subject other than to purposefully cause emotional distress. I cannot believe that someone who claims to have a «child’s best interest in mind» would say such horrible things about the said child and other parent! Like I said, there are ways to go about a case, and this team decided to take the slime-​ball approach. Go with a classier firm that won’t stoop to such low levels by taking emotional jabs at the other side because they don’t know of any other way to win a case. Did I mention that they lost? Don’t think I need to say anymore on the subject…

Opinion: Michael Gallagher is incompetent and lazy and even got in a pushing match with me in front of the judge.
I hired J Michael Gallagher to handle a child support reduction. Gallagher in my opinion only seemed to want to go through the motions with the least amount of work possible. I had evidence that my ex was wasting the child support money on a big addition to her house. At court when he did not introduce my evidence, I tried to do so myself. Gallagher literally pushed me aside in front of the judge, and we had a pushing match. Very unprofessional in my opinion.
I recommend you avoid this guy like the plague. He has numerous negative reviews on the Internet, so check those out also.

The marketing of this firm doesn’t come close the actuality of their legal approach or expertise. After spending $ 3,000 in legal fees they completely dropped the ball on my case, mostly because they exerted little effort in understand or create a compelling strategy.
Once the case was complete they had the tenacity to send me to a collection agency for a $ 20 copying fee with zero prior notice of this expense. Thus, if your looking for a competent lawyer who is concerned about the outcome of your case I would suggest you keep looking.
