Caring for Our Clients

A Legacy of Positive Client Experiences

A Legacy of Positive Client Experiences

    “Paul explained the process to me in detail and answered all my questions.”
    While visiting friends in Richmond, VA I found myself in need of a lawyer. I had never been in trouble before and was really scared. One of my friends had been represented by Paul Galanides and called him to get me a bond hearing. He came to see me right away and I was released the following day at my arraignment. Paul explained the process to me in detail and answered all my questions. He really seemed to care about me and my case. He was always there when I started to “freak” out with a reassuring phone call or email. Paul called me two days before court and told me he had found something in the police report that was very beneficial to my case. My charge was dismissed 2 days later. I would definitely recommend Paul Galanides to anyone in need of a lawyer.

    “He is an extremely dedicated attorney, who fights for his clients' rights.”
    While working for Carlson & Collier, Mr. Carlson became ill and needed to bring in a new attorney to handle cases. That is how we found Paul Galanides. He had an abundance of criminal legal knowledge and experience, 23 years, he was a former Prosecutor, he was well known and he had the desire to truly help people who found themselves on the wrong side of the law. Paul has argued before every court, including the Supreme Court. He came on board and got to work. He is an extremely dedicated attorney, who fights for his clients' rights.

    “They fought for me with everything they had and I came out of it feeling so well cared for as a client. They go above and beyond in every aspect and care about their clients with fierce determination.”
    Paul and Lisa are the dream team when it comes to legal representation. I was in such a rough scary time and they managed to pull me back up and get my on my feet. I needed help and that's exactly what I got. They fought for me with everything they had and I came out of it feeling so well cared for as a client. They go above and beyond in every aspect and care about their clients with fierce determination. Lisa and Paul are unlike any other duo I have ever seen work together, they balance each other out perfectly and never settle for an outcome that doesn't meet the proper standards. Lisa is the hardest worker I have ever met, staying on top of deadlines and pushing you through to the finish line, she's the best support system out there, and Paul is extremely precise and his meticulous research won my case. I cannot recommend enough to anyone who is looking for a lawyer who will go to such lengths to defend you. Not only are Lisa and Paul amazing at what they do for your defense, they're also amazing people.
