I did not feel that all concerns, evidence, or efforts toward reunification and co-parenting were fairly acknowledged. Communication and follow-through were lacking, and the process left a lasting emotional impact on both myself and my family. Parents deserve to feel that their voice matters and that recommendations are being made with full consideration of all sides involved.

I appreciate the time he took to explain our specific situation to make sure we didn't waste any time or money.

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.
