I came across Matt Boatman at Gallagher and Kennedy [after a car accident]. The initial phone call was very easy, stress free, and thorough. Matt explained to me the steps I needed to take, the length of the process to recoup damages, and documentation I should keep track of. … Maria [Raciti] was approachable, compassionate, and knowledgeable, which put me at ease during what was still a difficult time. She took the time to explain everything in detail, patiently answered all my questions, and kept me updated throughout the process. … Because of Maria’s hard work, attention to detail, and determination, she was able to secure a settlement that was 25% higher than I had been previously offered. I was very grateful for the outcome and for her dedication.

I am thoroughly impressed with the way Melissa Benson and her team handled my highly complex case. Melissa was able to identify the most cost-effective solutions.

[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.

I can't say enough good things about the personal injury team at Gallagher & Kennedy- particularly Shannon Clark. I worked with Shannon [Clark] after an awful car accident left me bed ridden for almost 2 years, completely derailing my start as a vibrant new, young attorney myself. He went incredibly above and beyond in every way. Professionally, he was a fierce negotiator—a true shark in the best sense—ensuring I received the compensation I deserved. Personally, he was a beacon of support and understanding, proving to be not just an exceptional attorney, but also a wonderful human being during a challenging time. He never viewed me as a payday but rather he and his entire team and his family treated me like my pain really did matter, encouraging me during every step of my recovery. His dedication and compassion were evident throughout the entire process, and he consistently demonstrated an unwavering commitment to my case. If you’re looking for someone who combines exceptional legal expertise with genuine care and support, you can’t go wrong with Shannon [Clark] or anyone on his team. I am beyond grateful for everything he has done for me and cannot recommend him highly enough!

I hired Gallagher & Kennedy to represent me for a motorcycle accident I was in. Maria Raciti (my attorney) has been awesome!! Very professional, has informed me promptly about any changes in my case. Responds to my emails about questions I have about my case almost immediately. She is very nice and easy to talk to. I would highly recommend her!!

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. Previously, I had no experience with personal injury lawsuits and was unsure of what to expect. I could not have been more pleased with G&K's representation, professionalism and advocacy. I would highly recommend Bill King and the entire team at G&K to anyone who needs the attention, care and legal skill they demonstrated in my case.

We love these guys and gals. Thanks for being so amazing!!

Exceptional Service Beyond Borders! From the moment we were referred to this firm by a friend, it became clear that their reputation for excellent service was well-deserved. Despite being out of state and knowing that we wouldn't ultimately be able to become their clients due to geographic limitations, they offered us tremendous support and guidance. Especially Maria Raciti. She was a lighthouse for us in the middle of a storm that we were lost in. She was the kindness that we needed in that moment and we'll never forget what she did for us. The team was incredibly helpful as well in explaining our options and navigating the complex legal landscape, ensuring we understood every step of the process. Their commitment to our case was remarkable—they not only provided expert advice but also connected us with a fantastic attorney in our own state, who was just as diligent and competent. Their professionalism and willingness to go above and beyond even without the incentive of a direct client relationship truly set them apart. I cannot recommend this firm highly enough for anyone seeking trustworthy and effective legal assistance. They are truly a firm that cares about people, not just cases.

Was involved in a car accident, being in shock I didn't know what to do and sought legal representation. I wanted professionals, not "billboard" lawyers with radio commercial jingles. I was more than impressed with Bill King's legal representation, he guided me through the process and gave constant updates on my case - eventually awarding me a settlement much larger than what the insurance was offering.

I had the pleasure working with Shannon [Clark], who truly transformed my arduous ordeal with the insurance company into a seamless process. His reassuring demeanor immediately put me at ease, making the entire experience notably more manageable. Without hesitation, I would wholeheartedly recommend Shannon's expertise. A perfect 10 out of 10.

I suffered serious personal injuries after a drunk driver ran a red light and collided into the driver’s side of my car at a high rate of speed. I didn’t know Bill [King] previously, who was referred to me by an old family friend, but I consider myself lucky to have landed in his good hands. From day one, Bill was the consummate advocate. He kept me informed, explained my options step-by-step, and was available anytime I had any questions. His tenacity resulted in a significant settlement from both the drunk driver and the bar that had served the driver. I had a great experience with Bill and everyone else at Gallagher & Kennedy and would highly recommend Bill and his firm.

I want to thank Shannon L. Clark for giving me a 5 star service from him and his team. I went through a horrific time in my life hit by a drunk driver in 2023. The entire team Karin and Angel were a huge help during a very difficult time. My older sister helped me when I couldn't even move my neck to narrow down the best attorney. She had said hire Shannon Clark he is the one that stands out from all other Lawyers. Thank you Shannon and team.

Bill King represented me in a consumer class action lawsuit and was ultimately able to obtain a court-approved class action settlement that afforded relief to hundreds of my fellow classmates. He did a great job navigating the mess the defendants left behind. I would highly recommend him.

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.

As a rule, I don't give reviews...ever. I am making an exception in this case. I had a motorcycle accident, where I was very lucky to keep my leg...and my life. In my search, for the BEST lawyer...Gallagher & Kennedy was my first stop, of 6 scheduled appointments with potential lawyers that day. It was immediately apparent...I already found my team. During my rehabilitation, including 2 major surgeries, I was consistently updated about the details pertaining to my case. The best way I can describe this legal team is...Taking care of business! They got me a 7 figure settlement...In Less than 1 year...just as I got back on my feet, and walking around again! THANK YOU SOOO MUCH!! If I ever need ANY legal assistance, as long as I live, I already got my team. Just the fact that I am making this review, should tell you, all you need to know. 6 outta 5 Stars!!! You gave me my Dream Life!!

You never want to find yourself needing an injury attorney, but if you do, having someone with experience, vast knowledge of the law, and a caring way of dealing with you, is beyond necessary! I found all of that and MORE with Maria Raciti and Matt Boatman. Dealing with Maria through this process has truly been a pleasure, and quite a relief! All I had to do was let them handle it.

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.

Bill King helped me obtain an exceptional settlement, multiples of what I was offered before I retained him. He was articulate, thoughtful, and persuasive, all while maintaining the highest level of professionalism and ethics. I would highly recommend him.

Bill King obtained a great result for me in my claim against the at-fault driver. He kept me up to speed and explained things simply and effectively. I would highly recommend him.

My son was struck on his motorcycle by a careless driver [and] the injuries sustained were life threatening. … From the moment we became clients with G&K, we were treated with dignity, concern and respect. My first point of contact was [intake specialist] Angel Medina, he was efficient and on point with communication and gathering everything that was needed. Robert Boatman explained in detail the entire process and answered all my questions honestly and thoroughly. Finally, Maria Raciti officially represented our case and was absolutely top notch! … I 100% recommend this firm and if you get an opportunity to retain Maria Raciti, know you will have a warrior on your side!

100% would recommend, especially Maria Raciti. Communicative, transparent and professional.

After sustaining injuries in a bicycle-auto crash, I was having immense difficulties in getting the at-fault insurance company to respond or take action. A friend recommended Shannon as a reliable lawyer, so I reached out. Shannon Clark and Maria Raciti stepped in and took fantastic care of me throughout the case. They were competent, honest, timely, and pleasant. Ethical, competent people are hard to find; Shannon and Maria impressed me on both accounts. I most certainly recommend them.
