I am an experienced criminal defense lawyer who fights for the rights of those facing criminal charges in my hometown, Las Vegas, Nevada. As an attorney, I handle a variety of misdemeanor and felony cases, including drug offenses, DUI, battery - domestic violence, prostitution, violent crimes and sexual offenses. 

In 1987, I graduated from Bishop Gorman High School.  In 1991, I earned a Bachelor of Arts and Sciences in International Relations from The University of San Diego before earning my juris doctor from the University of San Diego in 1996. 

My law career began in Las Vegas in 1996. My focus originally was on civil litigation and sports management. However, in 2000, I began to focus my career on criminal defense and helping those accused of crimes. 

In April 2004, I founded my own criminal defense practice, then known as the Law Offices of James Gallo Jr, Esq. Now, as the primary attorney at Gallo Law Office, I have defended thousands of clients, from those dealing with minor traffic violations to people facing complex sexual assault allegations.
