Timothy D. Gallagher has been with MMG since 1994. Tim began his legal career clerking for U.S. District Judge Thomas A. Flannery in Washington D.C. Following his clerkship he worked as a litigation associate at the prestigious firm White and Case, before joining ranks with his father, William Gallagher, at MMG. Now a co-owner of the firm, Tim has continued to build his reputation as a tenacious litigator, taking over 40 verdicts in the course of his impressive career. Admitted to New York State Courts as well as US District Courts of the Eastern and Southern Districts and the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, Tim has tried cases in all of the firms specialties focusing his effort on MMG’s labor law and toxic torts practice areas. He was the lead appellate attorney in the landmark Labor Law case Joblon v. Solow, 91 N.Y.2d 457,672 N.Y.S.2d 286, 695 N.E.2d 237 (1998). Tim’s singular focus on achieving the best outcomes for his clients sets him apart and is evidenced in his mantra “treat every case as if it is your only case”.
