About

Born and raised on the South Side of Chicago, I am the oldest of 7 kids who was born in the house my father was born in.  I have been a criminal defense lawyer since graduatting law school. I am an active sports fan who likes staying in shape, playing sports and attending them.  Included in my interests are the symphony and arts in Cincinnati.  My children are all grown so I try to "give back" by reffing club soccer in our community.   My greatest professional achievemnet is being a founding member of the Ohio Innocence Project which has done so much to improve the justice system in Ohio in addition to freeing 30 people from wrongful convictions in Ohio. We work with clients to identify their goals and then work hard to help them achieve them.

Called 3 other lawyers before finding Bill who showed no concern or interest. I left Bill a message and he got back with me even after business hours. Showed concern and empathy and he even went above and beyond and had my issue taken care of within 24hrs. Answered all my questions and phone calls promptly. Real genuine guy. Thanks again

I had the privilege of having Mr. Bill Gallagher, as well as his colleague Kara Blackney, investigate a serious criminal legal matter, on my behalf during the preliminary pre-Indictment stages, with their expertise they were prepared to represent me, come what may. The matter was quashed by the grand jury, but their support, legal knowledge and preparedness comforted me along the way. When one could be facing loss of liberty, these attorneys understand this severity and commit themselves with all their resolve to working for their client's legal defense.

Mr. Gallagher did a great job with my case. He was very thorough, understanding, and supportive. Whenever I needed anything he was just a phone call away.

After I was arrested protesting on a non-violent charge Mr. Gallagher gave me an extremely generous offer of pro bono legal representation. He has extremely promptly updated me with every new event that has occurred during his fight to have my charged dropped and successfully filed a motion for dismissal which has been approved by the judge. He has also helped by referring me to another attorney that has more expertise in some similar legal issues I had been facing related to my arrest. I recommend Mr. Gallagher to anyone who is in need of a dedicated and hard working criminal defense attorney.

Bill was great at providing me with updated and relevant information and his assessment of the situation. He didn't waste any time (read money), and seems to be held in high regard within the legal community. I highly recommend him.

Bill worked with me and was totally available to me to answer questions and make sure I understood what my options were. He knew how to present my case and advised me on next steps. Thanks to Bill's representation, I received the best possible outcome of my case. I highly recommend him.

Bill was able to assist me in my hour of need. A friend referred me to the law firm. Bill was kind and very understanding of my situation and was able to give me advice, quickly. Bill represented me during my hearing and was dogged in my defense. His representation led to the judge deciding in my favor and I will be forever grateful that he was there and had my best interest in heart and mind.

Bill Gallagher was an amazing attorney who was recommended to me by an attorney in the town I live in, the attorney who recommended Bill said if you were my family and needed criminal defense in Hamilton County or surrounding that Bill is the only attorney I would recommend. I am so thankful for Bill. If you need criminal defense in Hamilton County or surrounding please check out Bill Gallagher. Bill provided me with clear updates and told me what to expect dependent on how things went at certain stages (arraignment, indictment, arraignment) as I had never been through the criminal justice process. I was originally looking at 2 felony charges and now I am felony free, which when I had first met with Bill was a big concern of mine other than jail time. Bill got me an outcome better than I thought we were going to get, thanks a million.

A friend of our family recommended Mr. Gallagher to us. We've never met a kind and compassionate attorney like Mr. Gallagher who is very knowledgeable, confident and thorough, dedicated, honest and very, very reasonable. He is very experienced with many years of practice under his belt and he gets the job done for sure! He got a "not guilty verdict" on a false charge and was very helpful in explaining the process along the way. We will give Mr. Gallagher a 11 out of 10 because he was very, very good and we highly recommend Mr. Gallagher if you are looking for a defense attorney!
