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.

I highly recommend Attorney Naylor. He was empathetic, supportive, and provided meaningful…read morerecommendations for how to best proceed regarding a complicated case. He is a great attorney and trusted advisor. Thank you!

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.

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.

I am a travel physician and was driving from NYC to Atlanta instead of flying because of the…read moreCOVID-19 pandemic and sincerely didn't see the speed limit and didn't know I was going 77/55 zone (22 mph over) past midnight. I received a reckless driving - class 1 misdemeanor which is a serious criminal offense with potential penalties of 6 DMV points, a fine of $2,400, a jail sentence of 12 months, and a license suspension of up to 6 months. I was worried because I also had my very first speeding violation 2 years ago at another state while on a travel assignment. I am glad I found Mr. Leavitt who is professional and understands where I was coming from. Mr. Leavitt got Judge Bain (Brunswick General District Court) agreed to reduce my reckless driving 77/55 misdemeanor charge to a simple speeding violation (not reckless, not a misdemeanor). Please do not speed everyone. Life is too precious. But if you need a traffic violation lawyer, I do recommend Mr. Leavitt. Mr. Leavitt and Judge Bain; thank you.

He quickly and professionally assessed my case (85 in a 70) and my driving record and gave me an honest appraisal. During our phone conversation, he made clear his expectations and his plan in court. I had great confidence in him and I never had to set foot in the court room. He called me right after the case and gave me the great news that he had been even more successful than expected. If you have a speeding or reckless driving ticket, call Daniel Leavitt, you will not be disappointed.

I'm in Southern Virginia and our court system has been backed up for months at a time ever since the start of the pandemic (even before but made much worse by the closure). Without Ms. Bade by my side, I'd likely still be going through a mentally and physically draining experience rather than the rather smooth one that I'd actually had.
