Minneapolis Criminal Defense
Gallagher was born and raised in Minneapolis, and has lived in the Twin Cities his entire life. Gallagher attended school in Minneapolis, Hopkins and Minnetonka. Then he studied for his undergraduate Bachelor of Arts degree, with a Psychology major, and his graduate Doctor of Laws degree - both at the top-ranked University of Minnesota, Minneapolis campus.
Gallagher has sued the City of Minneapolis in police misconduct cases. He has also defended individual police officers in court.
Minneapolis, like other Minnesota cities, can charge people with violating Minneapolis City Ordinances, in addition to Minnesota State Statutes. These can include a wide variety of situations, including criminal zoning law violations and traffic violations. City Ordinance traffic violations can have the advantage of not going on the Minnesota Drivers License Record. Though the Minneapolis Police Policy and Procedure Manual does direct police officers to issue State Statutory violation citations rather than City Ordinance violation citations, police officers do have discretion.
A recognized expert in Minnesota criminal law, Gallagher has published numerous legal articles.
He has taught dozens of Continuing Legal Education courses to other lawyers, judges, police officers, and paralegals.
Gallagher has conducted and won numerous jury trials, as well as appeals.
He has top-ratings from three different organizations respected for rating lawyers, which range from the top five percent to the top seven percent of Minnesota criminal lawyers.
