I came across Matt Boatman at Gallagher and Kennedy [after a car accident]. The initial phone call was very easy, stress free, and thorough. Matt explained to me the steps I needed to take, the length of the process to recoup damages, and documentation I should keep track of. … Maria [Raciti] was approachable, compassionate, and knowledgeable, which put me at ease during what was still a difficult time. She took the time to explain everything in detail, patiently answered all my questions, and kept me updated throughout the process. … Because of Maria’s hard work, attention to detail, and determination, she was able to secure a settlement that was 25% higher than I had been previously offered. I was very grateful for the outcome and for her dedication.

I can't say enough good things about the personal injury team at Gallagher & Kennedy- particularly Shannon Clark. I worked with Shannon [Clark] after an awful car accident left me bed ridden for almost 2 years, completely derailing my start as a vibrant new, young attorney myself. He went incredibly above and beyond in every way. Professionally, he was a fierce negotiator—a true shark in the best sense—ensuring I received the compensation I deserved. Personally, he was a beacon of support and understanding, proving to be not just an exceptional attorney, but also a wonderful human being during a challenging time. He never viewed me as a payday but rather he and his entire team and his family treated me like my pain really did matter, encouraging me during every step of my recovery. His dedication and compassion were evident throughout the entire process, and he consistently demonstrated an unwavering commitment to my case. If you’re looking for someone who combines exceptional legal expertise with genuine care and support, you can’t go wrong with Shannon [Clark] or anyone on his team. I am beyond grateful for everything he has done for me and cannot recommend him highly enough!

After I lost my son and speaking to a trusted friend, I retained Bill King at Gallagher & Kennedy. From the very first in-person meeting we had, the whole G&K team-including Bill [King], Shannon Clark, Bob Boatman and Eleanor Shaffer-provided first rate representation and worked tirelessly to pursue my case, while also keeping me informed and involved every step of the way. Not only were they great advocates but they were also truly understanding, compassionate, empathetic and caring people during this difficult time. Previously, I had no experience with personal injury lawsuits and was unsure of what to expect. I could not have been more pleased with G&K's representation, professionalism and advocacy.

Exceptional Service Beyond Borders! From the moment we were referred to this firm by a friend, it became clear that their reputation for excellent service was well-deserved. Despite being out of state and knowing that we wouldn't ultimately be able to become their clients due to geographic limitations, they offered us tremendous support and guidance. Especially Maria Raciti. She was a lighthouse for us in the middle of a storm that we were lost in. She was the kindness that we needed in that moment and we'll never forget what she did for us. The team was incredibly helpful as well in explaining our options and navigating the complex legal landscape, ensuring we understood every step of the process. Their commitment to our case was remarkable—they not only provided expert advice but also connected us with a fantastic attorney in our own state, who was just as diligent and competent. Their professionalism and willingness to go above and beyond even without the incentive of a direct client relationship truly set them apart. I cannot recommend this firm highly enough for anyone seeking trustworthy and effective legal assistance. They are truly a firm that cares about people, not just cases.

Was involved in a car accident, being in shock I didn't know what to do and sought legal representation. I wanted professionals, not "billboard" lawyers with radio commercial jingles.

This testimonial is a culmination of over two decades of working with G&K. In 2003, I tragically lost my wife in a car accident. A friend's brother, employed at G&K, reached out to offer support. Through their assistance. I was introduced to Shannon Clark, who assumed the lead role in managing several lawsuits that included 2 large well known companies. Despite being the same age as myself (28) Shannon exuded a maturity, knowledge and professionalism beyond his years. Within approximately two years, all legal matters were successfully resolved. Since then, Shannon and the G&K team have provided invaluable assistance not only to me but also to several acquaintances. Their exceptional professionalism and dedication are truly commendable and appreciated. Unlike so many other attorneys that are all over TV, radio and billboards, G&K's modest advertising approach is a testament to their confidence in their exceptional services. Similar to Hell's Kitchen which relies on reputation rather than extensive television advertising, G&K's excellence speaks for itself.

She was empathetic, handled my meltdowns well, and gave me a look into family law and the justice system that I did not have before. I also learned a lot from her as a person. We were able to secure a positive outcome in the case. I highly recommend her!

Bob Boatman and Maria Raciti are representing me in a serious GSW case. I feel so relieved to have them on my side. They are super responsive and truly care about my injuries. They’re not going to take the first and easiest settlement offer; they’re fighting for just compensation. I highly recommend anyone needing an injury attorney call Bob and Maria and the G&K injury team.

If I could give this gentleman a six-star review I would very well do that after representing me after I was struck by a vehicle while riding my bike. [Matt Boatman] strongly voiced my opinion, represented me, and did me the greatest outcome that I never thought would even have been possible. If you ever have the chance to have this gentleman/ attorney represent you in your case then consider that a blessing...

Bill [King] is wicked smart and experienced in his practice, yet he took the time to walk us through the process and gather our opinion before acting. Bill handled our case swiftly and professionally, always keeping us informed. He also informed us of benefits we were entitled to through our own insurance company that we never knew we had. I would highly recommend Bill (or G&K, for that matter) in the unfortunate event you need legal representation after an accident. Thank you, Bill!

Melissa [Benson] is extremely intelligent & professional. She took on my divorce/custody case & to say the least it was ugly & complex. She made sure as a man I had a voice in this process & nothing would be dictated by my now ex-wife. We spent hours preparing for trial & it paid off. Thank God for her. I'm amazed at her insight in handling legal issues & grateful for her aggressive approach. I highly recommend her to anyone needing law representation.

My son was hit by an SUV while walking on the shoulder of a road; he suffered from multiple serious injuries while also sustaining horrific brain trauma. As his mother, I could only hope and pray that he would survive this disturbing event. ... This uncertainty was so great, that I had decided to speak to a legal counsel. By the grace of God, I had thankfully found the most compassionate and intelligent legal team available to me. ... Shannon Clark and Eleanor Shaffer were my angels straight from Heaven, blessing me with the promise of legal stability and representation that I had longed for since the incident. ...

Gallagher & Kennedy shepherded me through the most important business decision in my career and did so by listening to what I wanted to accomplish with my transaction. When prospective bidders (and ultimately the successful bidder) made requests and/or demands that were non-traditional or inconsistent with the market, [Kevin O'Malley and Chris Thompson] had the experience to know when to push back and when to acquiesce. They had the right balance of professionalism, experience, aggressiveness, and civility to get the deal done that I wanted.

Our agency was dealing with political, accounting, and legal challenges. Our attorneys with Gallagher & Kennedy made themselves available literally 24/7 to address the continual new issues that surfaced over many months. Without their guidance and continual support, while maintaining a positive and professional approach, I am not sure we would have been successful in getting our business back on the right path.

We recently had an award of a government contract challenged by a competitor. Kevin [O'Malley] and the team at Gallagher & Kennedy were responsive, knowledgeable and, most importantly, helped us successfully navigate the process of defending our selection as the contract awardee. We know that government contracting is a complex business environment. When we have issues that necessitate expert legal assistance we will turn again to Kevin and G&K. We have found they know our business, they know the process thoroughly, and Kevin is well-connected in this area of government contracting.
