My case was very simple and straight forward and so were my expectations with Tammy. Unfortunately, even the customer service provided by high school kids at in-n-out who are paid $15 hourly, is far better than the way Tammy and her assistant Jessika treated me as their client. I tried to be extra respectful to her since she is my grandmother's age, but Tammy was always very cold, rude and disrespectful to me from the beginning. There was no warmth, empathy or kindness about her, and the way she handled my case makes me highly doubt her qualifications. The first day I met her during consultation she appeared very clumsy when she was dropping things all over including spilling water all over her very ghetto office table and scribbling notes on paper (who does that nowadays?) but she still bullied me into retaining her with her very clever smart-talk technique. She even said "can you believe someone as smart as me can be clumsy as well?" Errrrrr.....I still chose to overlook her clumsiness and wanted to give her a chance and expected her to guide me in my very simple & easy divorce case but she was lazy, arrogant, unprofessional and incompetent. Based on her very high hourly charges, I expected her to guide me a bit after hearing my case, discuss expectations and/or strategize my case but she kept snapping at me any time I discussed my goals with her. She also told me that unfortunately moms have to compromise and my ex can do whatever he wants. At all times, I felt like she is trying to please the opposing counsel and the opponent instead of having my back. Her tone and attitude were always condescending. There were several times she missed responding to me regarding action items and each time I would try to follow up with her, instead of being polite she would snap back at me rudely. I could not believe this is the kind of representation and customer service someone would provide at $600 per hour. She then very clearly emailed me that "she does not care about the way she communicates with me". This was the final straw for me. If you value your time, self-respect and hard earned money, do not hire useless Tammy.

I highly recommend Tammy-lyn Gallerani for your family law needs. She represented me through a tough divorce and was outstanding throughout the process. She is an expert in the law and compassionate in guiding clients through an emotional and stressful time. I always felt that she was on my side, incredibly responsive and 110% dedicated to the best outcome for me - including making recommendations that kept her legal fees to a minimum.
If she has time, would suggest you schedule an introductory meeting and you’ll experience first hand her caring approach and legal talent.

Divorce is hard. Divorce is messy, heart breaking and life changing. I've worked with Tammy and her associates for more than 5 years with a challenging case and she has always gone up and above what is expected and needed.
She intently listens to your needs and is realistic about your obstacles. Her enduring compassion helps you swallow the realities you may not always get what you want or what is fair but she is 100% on your side and fights for you every step of the way. In challenging situations, she thinks outside the box and doesn't miss a beat even with, in my case, with the most unethical, rigid, heartless and cruelest of opponents. She is realistic, keeps you up to speed with your case and is honest and practical with expectations.
To Tammy, it goes far beyond making a living and she does the extra things you sometimes need expecting nothing in return. She truly cares about enhancing her clients' lives, always has their backs and gently guides them through the ugly stages and transitions of divorce.
I always feel well-represented, respected and important. It goes without saying she brings your case home with her 24/7 and is always strategizing to get you your fair shake when possible.
She gets things done and is always a few steps ahead of her opposing counsel. Tammy's tenacity, compassion and above average intelligence gives you the peace of mind that it's not all for naught. The way she treats her clients makes the process of divorce just a little less messy, a little less ugly and you walk away you hired the best to represent and support you as you merge forward to a better quality of life.
Life for most after divorce is different, often times less money, more downsizing and dreams initially crushed to the ground. But with an attorney like Tammy and her team of associates, it gives you hope you may not have had without them that you can rebuild your life for the better and you had the best support team beneath you to start your new journey, despite the aches and pains of the past which eventually passes. Hiring Tammy and her team was life changing for me and I will always be eternally grateful for their help.

Tammy has represented me for 10 years. In that time she has been consistent, well prepared, honest , persistent , very tough on opposing counsel which has gotten me excellent outcomes both inside and outside the courtroom. Tammy is a very kind person, but she doesn't baby clients or just tell them what they want to hear, she tells you what you need to hear. She was tough on me when necessary which saved me from making critical mistakes and she has saved me thousands of dollars by getting issues resolved outside the courtroom as well. She is so intelligent and knows the law inside and out. She has so much experience and is obviously well respected in the family law community. I am beyond grateful for her always fighting for me and the best interests of my kids. Everyone I have sent to her is very happy and I do know she has had great outcomes for both men and women .
