After seeing this guy Family Law and Divorce Attorney J. M. Gallagher-Don't Be A Weekend Parent! on TV three weeks ago, I couldn't resist and plowed at him with the following email, which he of course ignored. The TV commercials can all be viewed on his website. For all the ladies in particular, check out "Gallagher's gals".
Here's the email:
Your commercials that I saw on TV were reprehensible, tasteless and amateur. You should be ashamed of your immoral, unethical and disgusting attempt to ratchet up conflict between separated spouses. The comment by the woman who says that she is going to ruin her ex's New Year because he ruined her Christmas is rooted only in revenge and is completely counterproductive to setting the stage for expedited settlement of family law issues. Rather it plays into your real agenda of prolonging the matter so that you can maximize the pillaging of the separated couple's finances.
Moreover, it only thinly veils your real objective of dividing the spouses by driving the emotional wedge between them even deeper so that you conquer the two of them financially. I can just imagine the tone you must set in your clients' matters as you manipulate the ratcheting up conflict in an already severely stressful situation. Your letters to the other side are no doubt just character attacks for the sole purpose of keeping up the conflict and your billable hours. Fortunately for you, those counter-productive communications play right into your client's desire to have their hard feelings validated by the court, which of course is the last thing the court wants or is going to do. The court wants litigants to settle, not to have it's own officers encourage the spewing of false allegations and character attacks the sole purpose of which is to line your pockets.
Surrounding yourself with children in another ad on your web site and having a child come up to you in a grocery store asking family law questions is also inappropriate. Children should be shielded from these adult matters not exposed to them, even if they are only acting.
The ad where the man pays for the expensive salon and the woman's expensive night only to be caught drunk driving and then having access denied is stereotypical bullshit that exagerates the perceptions of gender bias in the system so you can play into the fears of fathers who think they are going to get screwed by the system. And then get even deeper into their pockets.
What lowball, classless and greedy tactics. How clowns like you live with yourself after decades of life in the family law gutter is beyond the comprehension of normal people in society.
And by the way, I have sole custody of my children after a lengthy court proceeding where I took the high road instead of succumbing to your greasy strategies, so please don't make the mistake of assuming that I am one of those hard-done by fathers that got screwed by gender bias in an unjust system.
Contary to another ridiculous misreprensation on your web site where the justice scales are tipped by the biased judge, the main problem with family law is not the system itself. It's greedy and selfish lawyers like you who misrepresent the system and themselves to prospective and extremely vulnerable clients for the sole purpose of lining their own pockets.
