I went to him, after searching and talking to 7 different law firms, and he took my case on and reassured me in every way possible. I was desperate and clueless, and he was so easy to talk to and helped me through the process. even his assistant was so sweet and kind and listened to my rambling! I value honest people. I value honest work and not people who try to rip you off. He was very fair priced and had amazing communication. :)

If you value competent representation, responsiveness, or even basic professionalism, avoid Paul C…read more Galanides like the plague--seriously, I'd rather go through another pandemic than hire him again. 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.

OMG he was so smooth with the trapping he got my ex lost in his lies. My ex eventually admitted to our agreement when his own attorney was questioning him. Me and Jody lol looked at each other like wtf. It got to a point I was embarrassed for him but then i thought nah. We each had less than an hour that was good for them because Charles was ready to mop the floor with him. Charles did his homework before the case he actually caught another lie while in court and went back up to question him about it. I am so so happy with the results. Put his name in Chatgpt lol. If you are looking for an attorney who is intelligent, organized, strategic, and truly prepared to fight for you in court, I would absolutely recommend Charles Shumaker.

Felt pressured to settle by Mr Marcus and Naylor. Because they weren't typically local to my area,…read morethey seemed to get out maneuvered repeatedly. He never could remember when I was available to talk. He expected me to talk at his convenience. He repeatedly scheduled events such as depositions when it was difficult and awkward for me to get time off either by not consulting me on scheduling or not remembering what I told him. I walked a shaky line with my government job. Really only seemed interested in an easy pay day. He had no human empathy for the chronic pain the accident left me in. He seemed to assume that it was an act. It always surprised him when I mentioned it. Finally despite settling before he had to do much work on the case (he specifically stated such at the settlement hearing), he took 40% including off the money I had to pay back to my health insurance and the money he took for costs so he ended up with more money than I did. I would never use him again.

The answer is everything .The quality of service Mr. Toepp and everyone I worked with at Allen and Allen set the bar very high for all attorneys. The value of what he did for me is priceless.. He munderstood the pressure I was under and my situation and went to work to close my case and get me some desperately needed cash, including willing to cut his fee and bring the check to my home.. I trust them with any legal situation and will always turn to them first and last for any legal situation and needs. If there's a way they will find it If not, they will tell you. He saved me in more ways than I can put in this review.. I had no idea how I was going make it through the next day and then he shows up with a check. Talking about turning lemons into lemonade. I did not give him a lot to work with and in the beginning I expected nothing All I can say is I know everything he did was from his heart he is all heart and I am forever, grateful Sincerely, Lynn Lamb.

On my court date, Sharon made sure the judge had all the documents needed and my status as guardian and conservator was established on the same day of my hearing.
