Christine Gallagher Attorney At Law

This lawyer condones lying to get what they want (have audio evidence). Told a mom to try to find something to lie about so they can win. They actually said "We have to find something to lie about or we will lose.". This will be reported to the bar and hopefully this lawyer will get their license removed. Beware of unethical tactics

Christine began representing me when my former representation proved less than capable both administratively and in the courtroom. Chrissy and her team exceeded my expectations entirely. They were on top of everything, mastering the details of my case and educating me along the way. It was obvious to me that Chrissy is well respected in the courthouse. She is professional, articulates herself very well, represented me in court masterfully, and has a team in her office that brought much of the same as they helped me navigate a lengthy and stressful court battle. Chrissy understood the stakes for me and my kids and overall, we prevailed in court even when up against significant dishonesty and complicated tactics from the other party. I have and will continue to recommend Chrissy to others. She operates her practice with integrity and knows and respects the various processes well. I never felt they were frivolous with my retainer and as costly as hiring representation can be, it was obvious to me that this investment was solid. Her and her team were on top of it from day one and I am so very grateful for everything.

Christine Gallagher was exceptional and I highly recommend her for handling your family law cases. Our family had a very complicated case that unfortunately the previous attorney (Kara Hill)had made worse with their incompetence. The professionalism of Christine is second to none, even her office help Rachel and Joanne maintain her high standards. Christine was exceptional in communicating with us every step of the way. When we had questions about certain aspects of the case instead of taking offense to asking a question, she listened and then would patiently explain everything in detail to us. Both my wife and I had been through nasty divorces and child custody battles and so much had changed since we ourselves had been in the courtroom. Thankfully Christine was more than understanding with our questions and expertly and professionaly would explain them and put any fears we had at ease. Christine is definitely a no nonsense attorney with the confidence backed by knowledge as if she's been an attorney for 100 years. Christine embraced our daughters trama and fears through this whole experience and comforted all of us even when we thought things were never gonna come to fruition through all the hard work our daughter had done. Christine is masterful in her profession and was able to help us achieve our goals through the entire case, including Trial. Thank you Christine.

A lawyer that will surpass all expectations. Christine was hired by us after we left Kara Hill for incompetence. We were in a bind and feeling hopeless. Christine stepped in, no questions asked and got to work. She is not only professional, she knows the law inside and out and her staff is also there to back that up. Her office is impeccable and she makes time to talk to you and walk you thru all of your questions and concerns. Rachel is the office manager and we had a lot of communication with her. She is knowledgeable and professional. Anytime we had a question or concern she would answer us promptly. In the courtroom, Christine is not one that backs down, she has her facts, and she knows how to handle herself with any judge or commissioner. We had to endure a trial. Christine prepped us by organizing our documents, preparing us to testify, gathering evidence and explaining legal procedures and strategy. She made a very high stressful situation seem very easy and we knew she would protect us. She did. She would tell us “Don’t worry, I won’t let anything happen to you” and she didn’t. We had complete faith in her and the job she would do. Not only did she successfully win our trial, we gained a new found friendship and we have the utmost respect for her not only as a competent lawyer but as a beautiful human being. She, along with her staff made transitioning from another law firm seem less and our trial and everything leading up to it flawless. We are forever grateful to Christine for not only the job she did in court, but for getting our family back.

I had the privilege of working with Christine Gallagher during a very difficult and high stakes legal matter and I could not have asked for a more capable dedicated and compassionate attorney. From day 1, Christine was transparent, organized and highly responsive. She set realistic expectations for me with regard to the legal process and the potential outcomes. Her attention to detail was remarkable. Every document was filed promptly, deadlines were met without issue and she anticipated challenges before they even arose. It was obvious that she truly cared about my case and my well being, not just the legal outcome. What really stood about Christine was her professionalism and empathy. She listened, strategized and she fought hard on my behalf all while treating me with respect and honesty. I always felt informed supported and confident that my case was in the right hands. Christine’s hard work led to a successful resolution in my favor and I am deeply grateful for her guidance. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for an attorney who combines legal excellence with genuine human compassion.

Unprofessional, Unreliable, and Only Cares About the Money I had a terrible experience with Christine Gallagher and would strongly advise others to look elsewhere for legal help. I paid her a significant amount of money, and in return, I got poor representation, missed deadlines, and total lack of professionalism. It became clear early on that the only thing she truly cared about was getting paid — not my case, not my outcome, and definitely not doing what was legally required of her. She failed to submit important documents on time, and because of her negligence, I ended up losing my case. This wasn’t just a minor mistake — her failure to meet deadlines and follow proper procedures had serious consequences for me. On top of that, she was extremely rude on the phone and dismissive whenever I had concerns or questions. Communication was nearly impossible, and I constantly felt ignored and disrespected. She also didn’t seem to follow the laws or statutes that applied to my situation, which made me seriously question her competence and ethics as a lawyer. This was a deeply frustrating and painful experience, and I would not recommend Christine Gallagher to anyone looking for dependable legal representation. Save your time, money, and peace of mind — look elsewhere.

Absolutely love her and her team. She is efficient and straightforward and really listens to what you need.

I cannot recommend Christine Gallagher enough. She is an outstanding family law attorney who has guided me through a complicated and emotionally challenging divorce process with incredible professionalism and care. Christine has kept me informed every step of the way, breaking down complex legal concepts into clear and understandable explanations. She ensures I fully understand all my options, and her honesty and transparency have been a constant source of reassurance. She never over-promises or sets unrealistic expectations, which has been invaluable during this difficult time. One of Christine’s most impressive strengths is her skill in the courtroom. Her arguments are exceptionally well-crafted, persuasive, and delivered with confidence and authority. Watching her advocate on my behalf has been truly remarkable—she is calm under pressure, meticulous in her preparation, and commanding in front of judges. It is evident that she is not only highly experienced but also deeply respected by judges, peers, and courtroom staff alike. In addition to her personal expertise, Christine has assembled an incredible team. Her staff is responsive, thorough, and always on top of every detail. Whenever I’ve had a question or needed clarification, they’ve been quick to provide accurate and helpful information, which has made navigating this process far less stressful. It’s clear they share Christine’s commitment to excellence and client care. If you’re looking for an experienced, skilled, and compassionate attorney in Spokane, Christine Gallagher is the one to call. I am beyond grateful for her dedication, expertise, and unwavering support.

Christine is tireless, honest, direct, and highly efficient. Her staff is quick to let you know what is going on and easy to communicate with. If you are forced to trial, you definitely want her on your side. Christine won not just one, but TWO trials on behalf of my young son over the course of the last four and a half years. Her organization and litigation skills were superior to the other side. We are overjoyed my young son is now residing with us primarily and is starting Kindergarten under our care. Thank you Christine and Rachel!

After going through multiple lawyers, Christine finally was able to end a 3 year nightmare and get done what no other lawyer could.

Used this attorney to get divorced. Did not feel like she cared at all because she had other things going on. Everything kept getting delayed because mediation was put off and then the house appraisal was set up too late. Asked for a best/worst case scenario to feel prepared for what I was getting into and couldn't be given one. Went into mediation with no idea how it works, attorney was late and was some random chick I never met before. Did not feel like she had my back at all, so basically had to pay the max I was willing to go to avoid going to court and more costs. The only positive is they knew how to fill out paperwork that needed done so I guess I paid 5k for paperwork to be filled out correctly.

Great experience with this legal team! Got the results I wanted for a very reasonable price.

Shes was little hard to get a hold of..But honest. To the point.highly recommend.

If you have to take it to court she is the one you want on your side. Give her all the facts and you will have an amazing experience.

Christine is definitely a lawyer you want on your side. My husband referred to her as a bulldog.... and I definitely wasn’t complaining! She walked all over his attorney who was horrible. She was good at getting back to me and her assistant was incredibly helpful and nice. I interviewed at least 15 lawyers before deciding to go with her, and I would choose her again in a heartbeat.

If you need legal help and are looking here, DONT. RUN! In my opinion you couldn’t pick a worse lawyer. When I called she was available to take my retainer that day. From then it is a multi day process to even get a call back. Did nothing for my family except take our money. Left my grandson in a horrible position. Left me some lousy instructions and almost got me in trouble with the judge. The one time, in ten months, she did get to argue in front of a Commissioner on our behalf she got smoked by some other loser lawyer. She promises you will meet with her a lot prior to the hearing. We didn’t. She completely forgets the facts and players of your case. So you get to pay her hourly fee for her to reread everything. Just an all around bad attorney in my opinion. If you need good legal help look somewhere else is all I could tell you.
