Bruce Galaro of the Business Law Group, LLC, has been my company's General Counsel for 10 years, and in that time I have come to understand the true definition of a good lawyer. My company is a 28 year old professional consulting business with over 100 employees providing services to the Fortune 500 industrial companies of the world that improve operation and financial performance through best maintenance and reliability practices. With a client base of Fortune 500 companies we had to elevate our game throughout all aspects of the company, and Bruce has anticipated and more than satisfied all of our legal needs, including those related to corporate matters, intellectual property protection, financing and lending, contracts and agreements, employment/labor, compensation, government affairs, risk management, and other legal matters throughout his tenure. Bruce has been instrumental in the strategic growth and development of my company and made major contributions to the perception of our company in the marketplace, enhancing our reputation for professionalism, excellence and integrity. The level of sophistication and complexity increased every year of Bruce's tenure, and he never missed. Beyond being a great lawyer, Bruce brings a practical businessman's perspective to every challenge and provides critical and insightful counsel on strategic as well as tactical decisions. Bruce is a man of impeccable integrity and I have come to rely on Bruce's counsel among my top two or three advisors. I know I can trust him to give me unvarnished advice which is always serving the best interests of the company. In the last year the challenge increased dramatically as we marketed and sold the company to a Fortune 500 acquirer. Bruce provided the mergers and acquisitions legal support necessary to engage an investment banker and prepare documents, and more importantly served on the lead negotiating team with the finalist suitors. Bruce's skills and experience resulted in an excellent final deal. Faced with a cadre of lawyers from the final acquirer's team (there were many of them), Bruce singlehandedly dealt with the myriad of requirements including those related to the deal documents and the due diligence, and he actually stayed ahead of the buyer's legal team and in many instances challenged them to keep up with him despite their many lawyers, paralegals, assistants, etc. The buyer later commented that MRG is a $25MM company that acts like a $1B company, and Bruce had a lot to do with that perception. I can say without question that I would not have gotten the company to the point we are today without Bruce Galaro by my side. Bruce is a consummate professional and a trusted friend and advisor, and I can offer my most unqualified endorsement and highest recommendation. Robert, Chairman & CEO

As a CPA, I have many opportunities to work with attorneys on all sorts of clients issues. I have worked with Bruce for the last 11 years again and again. I have referred him to a number of clients and they have been and continue to be very satisfied. He makes my life easier and my clients feel very good when the work is done. He is trustworthy, knowledgeable, listens well, works well with both male and female clients and has both a good sense of humor and a good sense of self. His specialty is corporate law and he is able to provide the same high level of legal advice as your own corporate counsel would provide without the fixed cost of a legal department.
