Writing this review is unusual for me, but I feel compelled to share my experience to prevent…read moreothers from making the same mistake. We hired Patrick Henry to represent us in a case against our builder involving contract defects and a switch from a high-quality product to a significantly inferior one during the construction of our million-dollar home. Initially, Patrick seemed confident in our case, citing strong evidence we provided during our initial meeting. This evidence included emails and video recordings clearly supporting our claims. However, our optimism quickly turned to disappointment and frustration. Despite assurances of a robust defense, Patrick's performance fell far short of expectations. Communication was a major issue--weeks would pass without updates, and when we did receive communication, it was often vague and lacking substantive information. He became aggressive and frustrated because we requested case updates. We found ourselves continuously chasing him for updates, only to receive bills for work that seemed non-existent. When we did manage to connect with Patrick, his responses were defensive and dismissive and rather rude. Rather than addressing our concerns or providing clarity, he seemed more interested in justifying his billing practices. His dismissive attitude towards our legitimate inquiries was unprofessional and exacerbated our frustration. As the case progressed, Patrick's behavior towards opposing counsel was surprisingly timid and accommodating to opposing counsel. Instead of advocating forcefully on our behalf, he appeared hesitant to challenge the other side, almost as if he sought their approval. His lack of assertiveness in negotiations and reluctance to set clear demands further undermined our confidence in his abilities. After months of ineffective representation and escalating costs, we made the difficult decision to terminate Patrick's services. We promptly hired a new attorney recommended by a trusted friend, who reviewed our case and confirmed its strength based on the evidence we had initially presented to Patrick. The difference was remarkable. Our new attorney approached the case with diligence and professionalism, promptly securing a favorable settlement that Patrick had failed to achieve over several months. This outcome underscored just how ineffective Patrick's handling of our case had been. In hindsight, our experience with Patrick was not only disappointing but also detrimental to our legal position. His lack of communication, ineffective advocacy, and apparent prioritization of billable hours over client interests were unacceptable. We had entrusted him with a critical matter, and he failed to deliver even the basic level of service expected from a professional attorney. Also, to go back to prior to hiring Patrick, we viewed his Google Reviews and noticed that in all of the negative reviews he would state that he had no relationship with this client and it was a competitor that was posting the review to tarnish his name. We saw this and accepted this reasoning and after meeting with him he made us feel that he could take care of the case especially with all of the evidence that we had. We didn't get a strong sense of intelligence during our initial meeting but we also didn't feel that we needed it based on the evidence. If this response is provided to this review, we can followup with email evidence to ensure you this is an accurate review based on our experience and we are not a competitor or some fake person. We will be looking into filing a claim with the board for attorneys on his law license as well as we think he violated proper attorney behavior and again utilized our case as billable hours only. In conclusion, I strongly advise against hiring Patrick for any legal representation. His conduct and performance fell well below acceptable standards, and his actions during our case were more harmful than beneficial. If you're seeking competent legal representation, look elsewhere--someone who will prioritize your case and diligently pursue your best interests.

I made the mistake of trusting Paul to represent me during a legal case that occurred at the height of the pandemic. He showed up **minutes** before my trial started, completely unprepared, and had the audacity to ask *me* to remind him about the details of my case. I'm sorry, aren't *you* supposed to be the one who knows my case inside and out? It was painfully obvious he hadn't done his homework, and I was left feeling like I was defending myself. After the trial, instead of a debrief or any real guidance about the outcome and how it would affect me moving forward, Paul just vanished into thin air. He didn't explain the implications of the court's decision, didn't offer any help for future issues, and left me completely in the dark. Years later, when complications arose from the case (which I could have been prepared for if he had actually done his job), I tried to contact him repeatedly--via email, phone calls, and voicemails. You'd think a lawyer with *any* sense of duty would respond, but no. Paul Galanides straight-up ghosted me, leaving me to deal with the fallout on my own. Save yourself the stress, the frustration, and the disappointment--**do not hire Paul Galanides**. He's not just a bad lawyer; he's a lawyer who actively makes your life harder by ignoring you when you need him most. Absolutely unprofessional and a total waste of time and money.
