Woody is the absolute best. He always answers my calls and helps me even when it's not about the situation I originally hired him for. He goes above and beyond.

Jennifer Cranston at Gallagher & Kennedy is an absolutely outstanding attorney. She has the highest degree of integrity and responsiveness among all the lawyers I have ever used, and I have used many different firms in many different states over time. She is incredibly honest, qualified and interested in the cost-effectiveness of her work and how she can most help her clients. I cannot recommend her highly enough.

Steve Boatwright is a great M&A attorney and his associated team did a great job with our sale of the business. The main reason we went with G&K was Steve Boatwright.

The Gallagher & Kennedy firm handled things professionally and efficiently. I felt very well represented throughout the process. The team assigned to me did their best to make themselves available outside of scheduled meetings. Overall a great experience.

We had a complex legal issue involving a family member and needed help from an experienced well connected law firm to deal with the issue. I surveyed a number of local law enforcement and legal contacts about who they felt were the top criminal attorneys in the Phoenix area and I was consistently told Gallagher & Kennedy was the place to go to get the kind of help we needed. That turned out to be a fantastic recommendation. We worked with Woody Thompson. He navigated our case with both humanity and the needed expertise to drive to an outstanding solution. He was always honest and straight forward with us as well which was critical to our understanding the potential outcomes of the case and selecting the proper defense. Without question, if we had selected the wrong counsel this could have turned into a horrible outcome. My hope for anyone is that they never find themselves in need of a criminal defense attorney, but if you do then I don't think you can do better than Woody and the broader Gallagher & Kenney team.

I honestly cannot say enough about this law firm. We have been using and recommending them for just under 20 years now. From “Woody” Thompson to Joshua Fisher and other attorneys within the firm, they’re all great at what they do. And no attorney would be complete without their assistants like Rosa Barajas that keeps things humming like a well oiled machine. Tactically and technically proficient attorneys? CHECK! Trusty assistant’s & paralegals? CHECK! Great communication amongst all involved? CHECK! Did I mention weekend communications? CHECK! When looking for legal representation for any situation you can drive around and get a referral off of a billboard or bus. But let’s be honest, the GOOD attorneys don’t need to advertise. They’re sought out because their reputations speak for themselves.

In the critical area of litigation, labor and employment, our experience with Gallagher & Kennedy has also been invaluable. With the litigious nature of many allegations and claims, depend on the speed, integrity and truthfulness of a law firm partner - Gallagher & Kennedy has once again has turned in very positive efforts and results in areas that we truly needed their expertise.

… 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.

The strength of the Gallagher & Kennedy mergers and acquisitions team is that they take the time to understand the business and goals for the client's acquisition. Every team member was up to speed and available to answer questions anytime. M&A work does not unfold at a 9-to-5 pace and the Gallagher & Kennedy team was always available, especially during the critical phases of the deal.

[Jennifer Cranston] is an outstanding advocate, advisor and litigator. Always very practical, reasonable and helpful. Frankly, I have been in the real estate business as an owner/operator of multifamily and commercial real estate for over 40 years and I have never had a lawyer who is as responsive as Jennifer. Whenever we need anything, be it big or small, Jennifer is always willing to help. ... we are lucky to have Jennifer.
