Melissa [Benson] and her wonderful team helped me during very trying time with my divorce challenge case. My previous attorney had warned me that I would most likely lose. Melissa however from the get go was confident and based on the facts knew I had a solid case. She quickly helped me in responding to motions and fending off the unreasonable legal attacks I faced. Thanks to Melissa, we would win complete legal victory in court and I was vindicated. I would definitely work with her for any family case if ever needed and would highly recommend her services.

I could not ask for more from my experience with the team at Gallagher & Kennedy as my attorney. I went in with the expectation that I was OK with either outcome, but to learn as much as I could about the process and the specific situation that the team helped me work through. If you're reading reviews, and looking around for the best in the area with a reasonable price range, just give G&K a call. The epitome of customer service and collaboration.

Melissa [Benson] was so helpful and professional. She never made me feel as if I was just “another case” on her docket. She actually cares about her clients and goes above and beyond for her clients. She is amazing at dealing with difficult opposing parties and is always prepared with an answer or if she isn’t sure, she is honest and tells you, finds out and then gets back in a timely manner. I recommend her to anyone that needs to go through family court.

I cannot thank Melissa [Benson] enough for her dedication to my very complicated case. If it wasn't for her listening ear and guidance, I wouldn't have been able to make it through. 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!

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.
