what clients are saying

When it comes to matters of the highest importance, such as custody of your child, there are a few calibers of attorneys you can hire. I’ve used a budget attorney and have seen the difference compared to using Mellissa [Benson] and her surrounding outstanding legal team. Don’t make the mistake I did by searching elsewhere first. Look no further and hire the best Family law team in the valley. Cannot say enough positive about their outstanding, professional and driven team. Their knowledge and skill cannot be understated. I truly appreciate their hard work and dedication to my case everyday.

Working with both Maria Raciti and Matt Boatman has been such a breeze. They stayed transparent all the way through and with no problems or setbacks when it came to working my case! I recommend working with both Maria and Matt. My favorite part when it came to working my case was the clarity on updates and what to expect on the next step/following up on a phone call. I look forward to working with them again in the event I require services in the future.

The lawyer you want. … I can tell you that no one holds a light to the way Josefa [Rodriguez] treats her clients. She would always be available to listen and she definitely works extremely hard to make sure you get everything you want. If it wasn't for her and her team then I wouldn't have gotten to this point and the ending I only dreamed of came to because of Josefa and her team. I can't thank them enough for everything.

Really great job!  I can’t thank you all enough for everything you are doing for me. I greatly appreciate it and keep you all in my prayers every day. You all work so hard and you are an amazing team… it shows not only in results like these but in your day to day correspondence and actions and your individual graciousness and professionalism. I’m so very grateful for each of you.

Melissa [Benson] is an amazing attorney who goes above and beyond for her clients. She strives to settle cases without trial as long as it is in her client’s best interest, but she is a beast in the courtroom when needed. I never hesitate to refer my friends and family to her team.

Melissa is sweet and caring, but she is not messing around. It's reassuring to hear that someone is dedicated to their clients' needs. … This dedication ultimately builds trust and fosters a strong client-professional relationship. Melissa was always on time with meetings, hearings and filings. She was always prepared and helped me to be prepared throughout the process.

When things became to much for me, the attorneys at Gallagher and Kennedy stepped up. Eleanor Shaffer knew just how to proceed and disproved the allegations leveled against me. My thanks both to her and to Melissa Benson for their unwavering professionalism and exceptional savvy inside, and outside, the courtroom.

Absolutely so thankful for Gallagher and Kennedy! Matt Boatman and Maria Raciti are such wonderful people who really took care of my case after I was hit by another driver and thrown into labor. Most caring and family loving people you could work with when your family is put down by an injury or finances due to an accident. I’d recommend the two of them to any person who needs an attorney

Shannon Clark was recommended to me when my hearing was severely compromised when all the airbags went off during a car accident. Shannon was very caring and competent during the whole settlement process. He guided me through each step along the way and was quick to respond to any concerns I had. I would highly recommend him to anyone who has been injured because of an accident. The settlement was fair and generous. Thank you, Shannon!

Eleanor [Shaffer], Bob [Boatman], and Shannon [Clark] helped us with a flood case against multiple defendants, and we were very grateful for their help.

I had the pleasure of working with Shannon Clark, Eleanor Shaffer, their assistant Isabel, and later Shayna Frieden on my personal injury case.

Shannon, Eleanor, and Shayna are not only incredibly skilled but genuinely kind and humble people who care deeply about their clients.

I felt fully supported and well-informed every step of the way. … His legal assistant, Deanna Allen, was also excellent—always responsive and incredibly helpful in keeping things organized and moving forward. I’m confident that Jonathan brings this same thoughtful, dedicated energy to all of his clients. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a lawyer who is not only highly skilled, but who also truly cares.

Melissa [Benson] and her wonderful team helped me during very trying time with my divorce challenge case. My previous attorney had warned me that I would most likely lose. Melissa however from the get go was confident and based on the facts knew I had a solid case. She quickly helped me in responding to motions and fending off the unreasonable legal attacks I faced. Thanks to Melissa, we would win complete legal victory in court and I was vindicated. I would definitely work with her for any family case if ever needed and would highly recommend her services.

Shannon [Clark] was very professional and worked diligently on our behalf to resolve an insurance claim issue. I would highly recommend him.

… 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.

[Melissa Benson] is definitely your Fiercest Family lawyer and there’s no one I’d rather refer than Melissa ... she and her team are so compassionate and definitely know what they are doing.

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.

A special thanks to Matt Boatman, Maria Raciti... . You did a fantastic job in resolving it in a timely manner which was very helpful and everyone involved deserves a special thanks for your support and time and effort. If I should ever need help with anything or know of anyone who is need of help, I will definitely let them know how much you all did.  Thank you to Maria for your support - your kindness is truly amazing.  A special thanks to Angel Medina for helping me through this review process.  Also, thank you to Matt and Bob Boatman who met with me the first time and a great thanks to Christine who always kept me updated throughout my case.

I am forever thankful that we crossed paths and that I was able to have someone who was there to fight for me.

Great experience with Matt Boatman and his team they made a stressful situation very comfortable an easy hands on experience for me. Thank you again.

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 cannot say enough good things about working with Eleanor and the team. I am thankful that I had them working for me. They stayed on top of all inquiries that came in and kept me updated. They were wonderful to explain and answer my many questions keeping my best interest at the forefront. Highly recommend them to anyone needing an injury lawyer, they are the best!

We lost our home in the 2017 Thomas Fire. We were lucky to have Gallagher & Kennedy representing us against SCE. We couldn’t have had a better team of attorneys on our side. We highly recommend them.

Matt Boatman represented me and was very helpful and professional! Always was there to answer any questions and was there when I needed him!

In April 2023 I was a victim in a serious pedestrian vs. pick up truck accident.

I wholeheartedly recommend Attorney Kevin Neal to anyone in need of a five-star legal representative. His professionalism, expertise, and compassionate approach make him an outstanding advocate. Kevin Neal is more than just an attorney; he is a dedicated ally committed to achieving the best possible outcomes for his clients. Grateful for his exceptional service and the positive resolution he achieved 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.

Kevin Neal represented our company in connection with litigation related to a complex matter. Throughout the course of the representation he was exceptionally effective. Always prepared, always communicating updates, highly ethical, and producing the highest quality work. We strongly recommend him and his firm.

I would highly recommend Kevin and his firm to others looking for top-quality legal representation.

Professional, practical approach with impeccable follow thru…5 Stars in every way….

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. ...

Thank you Melissa! We LOVE you.

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.

To put it simply, Josh Becker is second to none. Reliable, kind, creative, and funny to boot. He has guided the strategic development of our business since inception and six years later remains an invaluable partner and trusted advisor. I can't recommend him highly enough, nor find an adequate way to thank him for his counsel over the years.

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 was referred to Josh Becker and his team at Gallagher & Kennedy to assist in the development of a national and international franchising business. Josh has provided the business strategy and legal guidance a young company needs as it navigates through growth and expansion on a national and international level. Over the years, our relationship with G&K has grown from franchising to include a number of additional business matters including company formation, real estate, and business dispute resolution. We feel well advised and represented by Gallagher & Kennedy whenever we need their advice, counsel, and representation.

I have successfully been working with Gallagher & Kennedy since the early 1970's.

The team at Gallagher & Kennedy is by far the most responsive of the few dozen I have worked with in my career. They have deep experience covering all aspects of real estate law pertinent to my business. They always exhibit the utmost professionalism and ensure the transaction is not only seamless but is completed in a cost-effective manner. I have recommended many colleagues use the firm and will continue to do so.

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.

The Santa Fe office of Gallagher & Kennedy has unparalleled knowledge and ability to work issues in New Mexico.

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.

Melissa was amazing, a fighter for fathers out there, and I cannot recommend her more to anyone out there.

The firm did not make poor recommendations that net them more money, they had my best interests in mind.

Robert Boatman and Shannon Clark were extremely professional, thorough, and compassionate representing us in a very sensitive personal injury claim. The availability, expertise, and diligence that they and their team represented in our case returned results that exceeded our expectations while being sensitive to our experience. We are greatly appreciative.

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!

Gallagher & Kennedy attorneys provide deeply insightful and practical advice on a wide variety of employment law issues.

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.

Partnering with me to anticipate issues, manage risk, and problem-solve define my relationship with Chris Leason. ... I rely on his environmental expertise to navigate sensitive environmental issues in a cost-effective and proactive manner. Notably, Chris readily brings his deep experience to bear on complex matters to produce practical, actionable solutions we can evaluate and implement.

Tremendous understanding of the law and how to get results.

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...

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.

Ty Taber is persistent and professional. I would not hesitate to make a Five Star recommendation.

Shannon [Clark] is an amazing attorney to work with. He is very patient and understanding, as well as very thorough with any explanation process or questions I may have. I appreciate his genuine care as his client and the care he takes in his work!

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.

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.

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.

Woody Thompson of Gallagher & Kennedy was the best.

Woody Thompson is an outstanding criminal defense lawyer. We refer matters to him on a regular basis. He obtained outstanding results in a number of cases. First choice for criminal defense.

Their detailed follow ups and check-ins calls were always my piece of mind through the entire process. Thank you for your support and dedication to my case!

I have worked with Gallagher & Kennedy's real estate attorneys for many years. They are excellent lawyers that provide top-notch service on complex matters.

Don Johnsen and James Connor, at Gallagher & Kennedy, have always steered us in the right direction and there has never been any litigation. ... Both attorneys are very knowledgeable in their fields.

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...

Our team from Gallagher & Kennedy assisted us in a lengthy administrative law process. The attorneys were the best, most prepared, and most caring professionals I have had the pleasure to work with. Our interests became their interests and they were passionate about winning our case.
