WHAT CLIENTS ARE SAYING

Dennis Shirley  review icon
Dennis Shirley
Synergy Environmental
… Gallagher & Kennedy [does] outstanding work … and are what I consider to be the best environmental law firm in the Southwest. [They] offer a wide range of experts … from air and water quality to hazardous waste and Superfund program areas at both the state and federal level. Gallagher & Kennedy is in a class by themselves in their ability to advocate on behalf of their clients, having honed extensive, influential, and well regarded relationships with regulators, legislators, trade groups, and key government officials.

Blue Ridge Unified School District
Gallagher & Kennedy and its representatives are responsive and helpful in providing relevant information and details when any changes occur. Gallagher & Kennedy has represented our district successfully on numerous occasions resulting in positive outcomes for our district and taxpayers. We often work with Don Johnsen who is responsive, knowledgeable, and very effective when called upon to represent our district.

I would recommend Ms. [Melissa] Benson to anyone that needed an excellent attorney. She has been with me through the horrible issues and explained my options fully every step. I know Ms. Benson will fight for me and has the knowledge to win my case. My respect and confidence in Ms. Benson has no bounds & there aren't enough words to express my faith in her. Five stars is not enough, she is an attorney that goes beyond what is required & I'm so grateful I have her as my attorney.

From our initial consultation to the final resolution, Melissa [Benson] demonstrated unparalleled intelligence, strategic acumen, and legal expertise. Melissa's profound understanding of family law, coupled with her ability to navigate complex legal issues, was evident at every stage of my case. ...

Mrs. [Melissa] Benson is a life saver! I was entering into a world of uncertainty as I was on the verge of losing my son ... having her represent me was the best decision I've ever made! ... My family and I can't thank her and her staff enough! With her, you're in very good hands. Thanks again Mrs. Benson! You saved me and my son!

Melissa [Benson] is such an amazing attorney. She is very smart, yet heartfelt and humble. I can't explain how understanding she was with my case and showed so much empathy. She and her team were quick with responses and were always able to explain things to me. They showed that I was not just another case and made me feel heard and special. I am forever thankful that we crossed paths and that I was able to have someone who was there to fight for me.

I was blessed to have been put in touch with Gallagher and Kennedy. Many law firms will settle for the low hanging fruit but G&K put in the hard work and resources to get me the compensation that I deserved.

My wife and I hired Melissa Benson to help us with a long-shot attempt to adopt the biological brother of our daughter whom we adopted from their parents in 2017. ... Melissa did everything under the law and even consulted multiple colleagues trying to help us... I would recommend Melissa Benson to anyone who is looking for representation from someone who will understand your situation not just from a legal side but also from a personal and emotional side. Thank you Melissa! We LOVE you.

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.

... Melissa [Benson] has an incredible mind and talking with her and working with her just constantly reinforced that my kids and I were in safe hands. She is professional, sincere, and ... doesn’t pander to you, and keeps things very transparent and realistic. ... My case was certainly an exception by every measure according to the statistics, and I couldn’t be more blessed. I know Melissa was the reason my case was an exception. ... Melissa was amazing, a fighter for fathers out there, and I cannot recommend her more to anyone out there.

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.

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.

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.

Kevin O'Malley of Gallagher & Kennedy is a very thorough and competent legal professional who deserves no less than our highest praise. Kevin's expertise in the field of Governmental Procurement was needed by our company recently and thus far has been invaluable. After an initial ramp-up period, he hit the ground running as if he knew our industry intimately. ... Kevin is focused and measured, even in the most stressful situations...

As a hands-on business owner, I prefer to work with representation that is as passionate about being successful as I am. Gallagher & Kennedy is just that firm and dedicates the resources to deliver results.
