What Our Clients Are Saying

If you are searching for an attorney who cares and is straight forward and honest, you will not be disappointed with Galloway Jefcoat. I can honestly say I trust this law firm completely and would not hesitate to call them in the future!

Some things are better left in the hands of the professionals. This rings especially true with anything inside of a court room. Galloway Jefcoat stepped up to the plate without hesitation when I needed the help of true professionals. After realizing that I was in over my head, I began my search for help. Galloway Jefcoat responded immediately. Like a blessing, they took over and freed me of all the frustrations I was encountering. They were honest and upfront from the very start, unlike some others. Very "down to earth", which I was very thankful for. Putting it in their hands was the best decision I could've made. I don't wish to ever be in a situation like this again. But, if I am, I know who I'm calling. My thanks to everyone at Galloway Jefcoat!!

John Jefcoat takes time to thoroughly explain things in detail. He cares about his clients healing and getting back to feeling like themselves. He works with top notch doctors and they communicate immediately and Mr. Jefcoat calls to check on me and knows where I’m hurting and what my tests show and the doctor says. He really cares. I haven’t had to deal with this long term attorney client situation before but he has made this easier for me. At the beginning my anxiety was so bad I couldn’t eat or sleep for week. I was traumatized I didn’t trust anyone. Now I completely trust him all his office and the doctors. I know I’m in good hands. Thank you for helping me and making this traumatic event livable and thank you for caring for me and my family.
