… 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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

I have used Gallagher & Kennedy law firm for approximately 15 years. I particularly recommend Dal Moellenberg for our environmental issues as he not only knows the laws, he knows the regulations and is acquainted with the staff. He is also efficient in moving our issues forward. I also recommend T.J. Trujillo for legislative issues. T.J. is very familiar with the New Mexico political process and is acquainted with the legislators and their staff. He is a very good strategist.
