About:
Over the past 20 years I have handled thousands of criminal, DUI, and traffic cases throughout Southern California. No problem is too big or too small. In a normal day I appear in traffic court for multiple citations and I also spend time preparing my felony cases for trial. Recent victories include a not guilty verdict on ALL counts for a client charged with murder, criminal threats, robbery and 5 other felony counts (all with gang enhancements), a residential burglary case with DNA that resulted in a hung jury, and hung jury split 6-6 on a marijuana DUI charge that resulted in the charge being dismissed by the court on a 1385 motion. I am also one of a very small group of attorneys who accept privately retained cases in juvenile court for both dependency and delinquency cases. I welcome contacts by other attorneys or potential clients for my expertise on DUI, traffic, criminal, and juvenile issues at 800-797-8406. Recently my practice has experienced significant growth in the niche of traffic law. I can help clear holds, warrants, and suspensions based on failure to appear. Anyone with a suspended license should contact me before paying a cent to a collection agency. View More ›
DVLawyers AI Summary:
Gallagher focuses on providing comprehensive insurance, risk management, and consulting services designed to support organizations in navigating their unique challenges. While their expertise spans various industries, including healthcare, construction, and education, they do not specifically target domestic violence or family law services, which may be essential for survivors seeking legal assistance. Their approach emphasizes partnership and collaboration, aiming to be a trusted ally in addressing complex situations. The tone throughout their content reflects a professional and supportive demeanor, suggesting they are committed to helping clients secure what matters most to them. However, the language is more aligned with business and organizational needs rather than the personal, trauma-informed approach often required by survivors of domestic abuse. If you are seeking help with issues related to domestic violence, custody, or protective orders, this firm may not offer the specific legal services you need. For survivors of domestic violence, it is crucial to find legal representation that understands the intricacies of family law and the sensitivities surrounding trauma. Therefore, while Gallagher has a solid reputation in their fields, potential clients looking for guidance in domestic abuse matters may need to explore other options that specialize in family law and have a more trauma-informed perspective. It's essential to prioritize finding a lawyer who can provide the dedicated support and understanding necessary for your specific situation.

"Mark Gallagher is not only an excellent criminal defense lawyer, he is also a great guy. I chose Mark after talking with about 10 different lawyers. Everyone's situation is different, having a strong case is important if your going to fight like we did. We took a DUI to the edge of trial, hired an expert witness and fought hard for nearly 2 years, the major charges were dismissed and I was spared from some serious charges. We were fully prepared to take it all the way, and I knew Mark would have my back. He never over promised, took the time to give me the best advice and exceeded my expectations. Highly recommended."
