I highly highly recommend Shannon Clark! I was in a terrible, life changing motorcycle accident that left me in the hospital for 90 days. Shannon took on my case and made it as easy and stress free for me as possible. Felt constant support and reassurance from Him and his team throughout all of it! Would absolutely recommend Shannon to any of my closest friends and family to represent them if they were ever in an accident like mine.

I had the privilege of being represented by Maria Raciti and Matt Boatman, and they were stellar in every sense of the word. …Their dedication gave me complete confidence that my case was in the best possible hands in all of Phoenix. If these two are representative of the firm, you are in excellent hands with any attorney from Gallagher & Kennedy. Top-tier representation that I incredibly recommend!! …

My husband was referred to Matt Boatman when I was in an accident and had to be heavily sedated for many days. Throughout my 39 days of hospitalization and acute rehab, Matt and Maria Raciti kept in contact first with my husband and then both of us to keep us informed of the legal process and status of my case. They handled everything, including the medical bills from the many providers which left us able to concentrate on recovery and rehabilitation. Not only were Matt and Maria tireless advocates, they made sure they were always available for any questions we had making us feel as if we were their only clients. We would not hesitate to recommend Matt Boatman and his firm to family and friends.

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!

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.

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.

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

I hired Kevin Neal to help with a very complex and important consumer fraud case. Kevin's work ethic, attention to detail, and client communication were all fantastic. I was thrilled with the result he was able to provide, because he prepared the case so well and was able to negotiate from a position of strength. I would highly recommend Kevin and his firm to others looking for top-quality legal representation.

They were extremely compassionate, caring, professional, personable, even though this case was so very traumatic to our family. They explained everything to us in detail so that we understood perfectly what was happening and what the next process needs to be without making us feel ignorant and or stupid because we didn't have any legal background. They were absolutely wonderful I couldn't imagine going through this with anyone else!

My son was struck on his motorcycle by a careless driver [and] the injuries sustained were life threatening. … From the moment we became clients with G&K, we were treated with dignity, concern and respect. My first point of contact was [intake specialist] Angel Medina, he was efficient and on point with communication and gathering everything that was needed. Robert Boatman explained in detail the entire process and answered all my questions honestly and thoroughly. Finally, Maria Raciti officially represented our case and was absolutely top notch! … I 100% recommend this firm and if you get an opportunity to retain Maria Raciti, know you will have a warrior on your side!

We didn’t know Shannon [Clark] or Bill [King] before we were referred to them by a family friend shortly after our serious auto accident. Shannon and Bill were patient in explaining our options and making sure we knew important details before making key choices. They were extremely professional and knowledgeable through every step of the process. We really felt like we had experts and advocates on our side. They got us a great result.

Shannon Clark and Eleanor Shaffer were great. They represented me in a malpractice lawsuit, and they were very professional and prepared. They kept me abreast of any new developments. We were able to settle out of court with great negotiation skills. I would highly recommend Shannon and Eleanor to anyone! Best decision you could make!

Kevin Neal represented me after the car I was in was hit by a train. It was a devastating experience, and I had a bad injury, but Kevin was very helpful and responsive. He worked hard with difficult issues to get an extremely good settlement. I recommend anyone needing an attorney to handle a case involving a severe injury from a crash to contact Kevin.

If you are looking for knowledgeable attorneys, seek Gallagher & Kennedy Law Firm. Shannon Clark and Eleanor J. Shaffer have provided legal representation in my mother’s case. While the personal injury case was quite lengthy, the entire team has been extremely supportive. During the mediation, Shannon advocated for my mother in which the case was able to be resolved outside of court.

Catastrophic Personal Injury Client

Shannon Clark is an exceptional attorney-definitely one of the best you can find. His whole team is amazing. I especially want to also praise Ashley Fitzgibbons for her dedication to my cause. Shannon’s ability to understand the depth of an intricate and specific healthcare issue and identify the legal recourse was awesome to witness. His experience is obvious in every interaction. ... I was referred to Shannon as “the best” in the business for my situation by another top AZ attorney. I am so grateful to Shannon for taking my case and for helping me get through a terrible situation.

Matt Bard

Catastrophic Personal Injury Client

After sustaining injuries in a bicycle-auto crash, I was having immense difficulties in getting the at-fault insurance company to respond or take action. A friend recommended Shannon as a reliable lawyer, so I reached out. Shannon Clark and Maria Raciti stepped in and took fantastic care of me throughout the case. They were competent, honest, timely, and pleasant. Ethical, competent people are hard to find; Shannon and Maria impressed me on both accounts. I most certainly recommend them.

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...

Catastrophic Personal Injury Client

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...

Beverly Berg

Catastrophic Personal Injury Client

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.

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!

Eleanor [Shaffer], Bob [Boatman], Karen [Trumpower], and the entire team went above and beyond with my motor vehicle case, they were consistent with follow up calls, 100% on strong work, feedback, and clear guidance in my case with outstanding results.
