… 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.

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 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...

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.
