Galen Gentry
30 Years of Experience in California Courts, A Lawyer You Can Trust
Our firm focuses on divorce and civil litigation matters. I have 30 years of experience in state and federal courts. I have been awarded the highest possible rating for legal skill and ethical conduct by Martindale Hubbell, the oldest attorney rating company in the United States and a 10/10 Superb rating by avvo.com.
I am a member of the Multi-Million Dollar Advocates Forum. Membership is limited to attorneys who have won million and multi-million dollar verdicts and settlements. Less than 1 percent of litigation attorneys are members.
The three most important characteristics of our firm are accessibility of the attorney, a unique approach to case preparation, and great trial experience.
We are different from other firms because our clients are able to access the attorney handling the case. Most law firms have layers of personnel between the attorney and the clients. At my firm when a client has a substantive question he or she speaks with me. We prepare every case as if it will be presented for trial. My last trial was January 17, 2022.
Most lawyers have never tried a case. Be sure to enquire before hiring a lawyer what level of trial experience she has in the area of the law that concerns you. Since most cases settle average lawyers never even think about trial until it is almost upon them.
We start every case by looking at the jury instructions or family law statutes that will govern the trial of the issues. Everything we do is geared to convincing the judge or the jury to find in favor of our client.
By preparing for trial we ensure the best possible settlements in those matters that resolve without trial. We never lose sight of the fact that we work for people. We offer free consultations to prospective clients .
