Galen Gentry is a prominent lawyer based in Woodland Hills, California, specializing in divorce and civil litigation matters. With three decades of experience in both state and federal courts, he has established himself as a top legal professional in the field. Gentry has received the highest possible rating for legal skill and ethical conduct from Martindale Hubbell, the oldest attorney rating company in the United States, as well as a 10/10 Superb rating from avvo.com. One of the key distinctions of Gentry's firm is its membership in the Multi-Million Dollar Advocates Forum, an exclusive group limited to attorneys who have secured million and multi-million dollar verdicts and settlements. This elite status is held by less than 1 percent of litigation attorneys, highlighting Gentry's exceptional track record in handling high-stakes cases. What sets Gentry apart from other law firms is his commitment to providing direct access to clients. Unlike many offices that have layers of personnel between attorneys and clients, Gentry ensures that clients can speak directly with him for any substantive questions or concerns. This personalized approach extends to case preparation, with Gentry and his team meticulously preparing every case as if it will go to trial. Gentry emphasizes the importance of trial experience, noting that many lawyers have never tried a case. He advises clients to inquire about a lawyer's trial experience before hiring them, as this can significantly impact the outcome of a case. By focusing on trial preparation from the outset, Gentry's firm aims to secure the best possible settlements for clients, even in cases that ultimately do not go to trial. Above all, Gentry emphasizes that his firm works for the people, offering free consultations to prospective clients. This dedication to client service, combined with Gentry's extensive experience and proven track record, makes him a trusted and reliable advocate for individuals facing divorce and civil litigation matters.
