Hired Attorney John M. Gallagher

Atty. Gallagher communicates on a comprehendible level. He does not over assert where it is not necessary. He was accommodating to Saturday appointments so I did not need to take off from work.

Hired Law Firm

I called LBEC for a consultation about a SSDI problem. I was transferred to John Gallagher, Esq. He is one of the rudest, most aggressive people I have ever spoken to. He had no clue what I was talking about and was openly hostile. I would never work with this lawyer; he's the complete opposite of trustworthy, responsive, compassionate, and professional.

Hired Attorney John M. Gallagher

Most horrible experience ever working with an attorney in my life I am a single mom of 3 children being antagonized by the father of my children and I hired Mr. John Ghallagher and it’s almost like I hate Frank Ghallagher from Shameless. Absolutely worst communication worst attitude he talked to me like I was taking HIM for child support. I also had bad results in all of our interactions with the courts it was honestly intimidating and horrifying I wouldn’t recommend him to ANYBODY. Hire at your own risk.
