I met with him and was very impressed. Having been employed in the legal for 20 years I found him to knowledgeable regarding my issue, kind and compassionate. I will definitely use him when I’m ready to file an action. Highly recommended.
My case is still active but Attorney Matthew J. Galasso has been instrumental in helping me safely leave an abusive marital home with my child in compliance with the most current state laws anf he has helped me safely negotiate situations that arose in the process. He is highly responsible, knowledgeable, and compassionate...and he will fight fairly for you and help you a maneuver and amke decisions for the best possible outcome. I highly recommend his family law services
If I could give Attorney Galasso 10 Stars I would. My husband and I retained Matt for a high conflict custody case as well as child support against my husbands narcissistic ex wife. Opposing party had put in to have jurisdiction sent to PA. Matt not only stood up for my husbands right to be a father, but we now have full custody of my step son. He went out of his way when things really hit the fan, keeping in contact through the weekend and giving us advice when it counted most. He fought all motions, accusations, and lies from opposing counsel. His rates are reasonable and as for all these people saying he just burns through their retainer must have higher conflicted cases than we did, or lying? We can’t thank Matt and Michelle for all of their help in representing my husband as well as getting jurisdiction back into New York. I’m so sad that he will no longer be able to represent us in this nightmare of a custody battle!
I’ve had to use Matt’s services over the past few years for divorce, custody, visitation etc. I have an ex who cant seem to act like an adult and likes to take everything to court. I’ve won every single time we’ve had to go to court. I feel very confident with Matt and trusted him with handling my custody trial. So many people told me not to even hire a lawyer because it was an open and shut case but I wasn’t willing to take that chance. Sure enough, Matt made my ex look like a fool. He said everything I wish I could have said to him. I will continue to use him in the future if needed. I don’t feel his fees are outrageous especially compared to others.
I was very lucky to have Matt represent me, i had a bad divorce with all the accusations against me and a bs PFA, even with all that Matt helped me get Primary Custody of my kids right away (i'm the Father). Matt represented me well and gave me good advice and reminded me to be who i was before the divorce and not become someone else afterwards because the kids need me to be solid. 8 years later i'm searching his number for something else and see these reviews and felt i should add mine, i still think of that good advice. Good lawyer with good ethics, look no further.
We hired Matt to represent family members who made some bad choices. He was sharp and sure on the right path to go. For my family he was there for us and we feel he made a big difference for out situation. I have used Matt a few times for different legal issues and we have been very satisfied with the results feeling he did the best he could under the situations.
Matt is the BEST LAWYER in PA...period..He and his staff are INCREDIBLE!!! Do NOT seek any other lawyer for any of your issues..I wish I would of found him FIRST prior to my previous lawyer..I cannot say enough about Mr.Galasso..He has helped me immensely and I could never thank him enough..I will be indebted for his services. He changed my life..Again..BEST LAWYER IN PENNSYLVANIA...HANDS DOWN...JEANNINE B.
Unfortunately for me, Matt was not my first divorce attorney. I hired him after my first attorney made a total mess of the case. From the minute he picked up the ball, I started WINNING. I would not hesitate to hire him again, and trust his advice 100%. If you need representation in the Pike County area, do NOT settle for anyone else. He is the BEST hands down
Boy was I lucky to meet up with Matt Galasso and even luckier that he took my case. His knowledge of family law and custody was exhaustive . He is strategic, whip fast and effective. I recommend him highly. I say he's the best attorney in PA when it comes to family law, and I was lucky to find him.
Matt and his company are top of the line!!! Any legal problems you have they will solve, and you will WIN...He is the best lawyer in Pa.His staff is top notch as well...He is so worth his fee and beyond..His fee is actually extremely reasonable...which is very rare!!!All I can say is that He and his staff work so hard for you,above and beyond and he does everything he can to vindicate YOU...He is the man and knows the law inside and out!!! I will continue to stay with Matt.PERIOD...thx you MATT
Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.
The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.
Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.
Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page
Martindale Peer Reviews
Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.
The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.
What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*
• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.
• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.
• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.
Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.
Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.
Ratings and reviews are feedback from people who have either consulted an attorney about an issue (but may not have hired the attorney) or people who hired an attorney as a current or former client and provided their feedback to our sister site, Avvo.com.
