Press Releases

Just recently finished settling from an auto accident that was a little over 2 years ago, Gallagher & Kennedy represented me… Would recommend their law firm to represent you if you want very professional people.

NV LONGGoogle

My secretary used them and said nothing but good things. My initial conversation with them went well and seemed to be pretty straight up, which I can’t say for all lawyers that I have spoken to.

ROSALIE G.Yelp

I highly recommend this law firm they are very knowledgeable on their practice of law, very prompt and very nice staff to work with. I wouldn’t hesitate to use them again for whatever I needed.

DEBBIE B.Yelp

Over the past decade, Gallagher & Kennedy has built a strong team of personal injury attorneys. The firm’s roster has expanded in the past year, adding some of Arizona’s top legal practitioners in the personal injury field. This has positioned G&K to be Arizona’s premiere personal injury law firm with the capacity to support any legal issue clients may encounter. Knowing this team of attorneys, I cannot recommend G&K highly enough to help with all personal injury needs.
