Our attorney Maria [Raciti] fought tirelessly for over a year to make sure my family got the proper compensation for our accident. We had one about a year and a half ago that sent my wife into early labor and they helped us every step of the long tedious process that is the insurance game. Then fast forward to about a month ago my wife got hit again by some man running a stop sign and we knew then who to call and the documents needed to get the ball rolling. For all of my automotive incidents there is no other firm I will be choosing. These guys are top tier and will fight for you to be compensated properly and fairly! Seriously! Thanks again so much Maria!

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. I would highly recommend Bill King and the entire team at G&K to anyone who needs the attention, care and legal skill they demonstrated in my case.

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.

In my search, for the BEST lawyer...Gallagher & Kennedy was my first stop, of 6 scheduled appointments with potential lawyers that day. It was immediately apparent...I already found my team. During my rehabilitation, including 2 major surgeries, I was consistently updated about the details pertaining to my case. The best way I can describe this legal team is...Taking care of business!

Catastrophic Personal Injury Client

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.

Nancy Johnson

I am very pleased with my experience with Gallagher & Kennedy. They were very professional, knowledgeable, and informative throughout the process.

We are greatly appreciative.

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.

Kevin Neal restored my faith in Attorneys. After the death of my mother in an automobile accident, Kevin represented my brother and I and expedited a generous settlement. Kevin was tough, competent, always responsive and thoughtful in working with us on this very sensitive and personal matter...

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...

I was very happy with Shannon Clark’s representation. He was professional, personable and knowledgeable, and I was very happy with the outcome. He even found an additional insurance policy we did not know even existed. I think anyone who is looking for a good personal injury lawyer would be well-served by choosing him.

Catastrophic Personal Injury Client

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. ...

As a small business owner who was wrongfully accused of fraud, I needed an attorney who would fight as if it was his company. Not only did Kevin Neal dominate the trial, he saved my company and my family's legacy. I wish I could give him more than 5 stars!

I have worked with Chris Leason and the team at Gallagher & Kennedy for many years. They are responsive, great with trade association meetings, members, and environmental issues, and very well connected.

Steve Schramm

CBIZ Optumas

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.

Client Comment

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.

T.J. Racica

It has been my experience of working with G&K for over two decades, that their attorneys provide a high degree of integrity, expertise and legal insight that helps me to make informed decisions day to day on a wide range of environmental challenges.

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.

Jeff Dunn

Kevin O'Malley of Gallagher & Kennedy is a very thorough and competent legal professional who deserves no less than our highest praise.
