Gallagher Law Office

"She likes to rack up fees for everyone involved- She's a bully, Working with her is like trying to light a fire underwater. Impossible. She seems to take things to a personal level and bully the other lawyer into submission, which if the other lawyer is willing to hold ground ends up in a dragged out divorce with costly lawyer fees for everyone."

"My experience with Susan is nothing like any of the couple negative reviews I saw here. I was referred to her and she handled my divorce (as the respondent) swiftly and efficiently, even with an uncooperative and disorganized counterparty. I have and will continue to recommend her any and all family law."

"I hired Susan as my lawyer and she handled my divorce. After our lawyer/client relationship was over I wrote a 3 paragraph letter to her complaining that she did not do a good job and Susan billed me $1,000.00 for her reading my complaint letter and responding to it. I actually paid the money because she would have sent me to a collection agency. She had no right to bill me especially a grand for less than five minutes of her time. Do not hire her as your divorce attorney!"

"Susan Gallagher is first, a down-to-earth and very likable human being. As a former trauma nurse, she has a lot of compassion and a great sense of humor. Second, she's an effective and very experienced family law attorney. Family law difficulties are almost always painful. It's good to have an accessible and capable human being like Susan to help you navigate those difficulties."

"I would strongly discourage anyone from hiring Susan Gallagher. I retained her to work on a child support modification and custody issue. When we first met, she charged me $800 for an initial consult. She said that she was finishing up one case and was taking a short vacation but would get to work on my case immediately after that. After two months, I had heard nothing so I called Susan. It took another two weeks to get a meeting, and she remembered little about our initial consultation and we had to start over. At that point, she swore and criticized me for the way I had handled past events. I realized then that I had made a mistake and terminated her retainer agreement. After that, she charged me $400 to copy my file, even though she was instructed not to and was no longer working on my case. She has refused to refund the balance of my retainer for those copying costs. Working with Susan Gallagher was a terrible experience and a waste of money."
