  • “"Mr. Galanides and Christian are amazing! I was falsely accused of a crime and 2 weeks after I hired him, I was exonerated.”
    Mr. Galanides and Christian are amazing! I was falsely accused of a crime and 2 weeks after I hired him, I was exonerated. They fought hard for my case and I would highly recommend. It was my first time needing to hire legal council. The prices were very reasonable and the professionalism was great! They made it very easy to deal with such a stressful situation. Christian was such a sweetheart!

  • “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.
