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.

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!!
Corina Mari
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. I always felt informed, cared about, and fought for. I can’t say enough about the level of appreciation I have for their hard work and dedication to get the absolute best result possible. And that’s exactly what they did. Thank you!

Catastrophic Personal Injury Client
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.
Nancy Johnson
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!

In April 2023 I was a victim in a serious pedestrian vs. pick up truck accident. My wife and I contacted Shannon Clark of Gallagher & Kennedy and are so glad we did, he got us a swift settlement from the insurance companies. We hope to never be in this situation again, but if we are we will not hesitate to call on Shannon and Gallagher & Kennedy.
Tommy Ohmart
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.

Lona McCumber
They were extremely compassionate, caring, professional, personable, even though this case was so very traumatic to our family. They explained everything to us in detail so that we understood perfectly what was happening and what the next process needs to be without making us feel ignorant and or stupid because we didn't have any legal background. They were absolutely wonderful I couldn't imagine going through this with anyone else!
Kyle King
I could not ask for more from my experience with G&K, with Yusra Bokhari 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 she 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.

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.

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.

Kevin Neal represented me after the car I was in was hit by a train. It was a devastating experience, and I had a bad injury, but Kevin was very helpful and responsive.

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. While the personal injury case was quite lengthy, the entire team has been extremely supportive. During the mediation, Shannon advocated for my mother in which the case was able to be resolved outside of court.
Kathryn Watterson
Catastrophic Personal Injury Client
Shannon Clark is an exceptional attorney-definitely one of the best you can find. His whole team is amazing. I especially want to also praise Ashley Fitzgibbons for her dedication to my cause. Shannon’s ability to understand the depth of an intricate and specific healthcare issue and identify the legal recourse was awesome to witness. His experience is obvious in every interaction. ... I was referred to Shannon as “the best” in the business for my situation by another top AZ attorney. I am so grateful to Shannon for taking my case and for helping me get through a terrible situation.

I felt that I was in good hands with Woody Thompson from Gallagher & Kennedy. His assistants, Bella and Rosa were equally amazing. I felt that I had a good understanding of my choices and situation.

Matt Bard
Catastrophic Personal Injury Client
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.

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.

If you ever have the chance to have this gentleman/ attorney represent you in your case then consider that a blessing...

Bill [King] is wicked smart and experienced in his practice, yet he took the time to walk us through the process and gather our opinion before acting. Bill handled our case swiftly and professionally, always keeping us informed. He also informed us of benefits we were entitled to through our own insurance company that we never knew we had. I would highly recommend Bill (or G&K, for that matter) in the unfortunate event you need legal representation after an accident. Thank you, Bill!

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.

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.
