71903	Criminal Defense Lawyer	No Rating	In San Diego GALLAGHER optimizes what a judge with no B---S is. He can't make honest or lawful rulings without worrying how the prosecutor's office while challenge him. It's a shame because he use to be a man of honor, now he's ...Read More	07/03/2019 04:01 PM	Contact reviewer
36061	Criminal Defense Lawyer	View Details	He was a great judge when he first hit the bench. He wasn't beholden to prosecutors like most other judges who run their campaigns on "Law Enforcement' Choice" slogans. But then he made a pro-defense ruling on discovery in a major...Read More	07/08/2015 12:16 PM	Contact reviewer
33775	Civil Litigation - Private	View Details	My experience with Judge Gallagher was positive. We appeared for multiple hearings before him and he always remembered the status of the case. He can be a bit brash at times, but never disrespectful. Not afraid to bring down th...Read More	03/31/2015 01:06 PM	Contact reviewer
23142	Criminal Defense Lawyer	View Details	Judge Gallagher is a good Irish democrat, but he came out of Bunny Dumbanus's law cave, and he isn't afraid to show his old prosecutor buddies that he is still one of the guys. He needs to learn how to relax.	09/03/2013 02:59 AM	Contact reviewer

22599	Other	No Rating	It was unbelievable to see and hear this judge's biased rant about his disdain for California's medical marijuana laws. It became abundantly clear that this judge will not uphold laws he does not personally agree with. Hard to bel...Read More	07/30/2013 07:28 PM	Contact reviewer
21780	Civil Litigation - Private	View Details	I've appeared before Judge Gallagher in both civil and criminal matters. He is very result-oriented. He keeps his eye on the ball and doesn't lose sight of the big picture. This may be why he's had challenges from the prosecution ...Read More	05/24/2013 10:39 PM	Contact reviewer
5085	Criminal Defense Lawyer	View Details	Oh, boo hoo, little prosecutor below. This is one judge that isn't scared of applying the law of the State of California, instead the law of ignorance of most of the little mini misdemeanor prosecutors who are used to getting thei...Read More	03/23/2009 02:46 PM	Contact reviewer
2525	Prosecutor	View Details	Speaking only to DUIs - if you're a defense attorney, then this is your guy. His open hostility and disrespect for prosecutors in DUI cases is legendary. His muzzling of prosecution experts is well known. He refusal to acknowle...Read More	08/07/2008 12:18 AM	Contact reviewer
