He is a former Montgomery County Assistant District Attorney, having held positions in the Sex Crimes and Major Crimes Units of the Trials Division. He has handled numerous misdemeanor and felony cases, including homicide, sexual crimes, drug offenses, assaults, economic crimes, theft crimes, and vehicle-related offenses including DUI. Mr. Gallo began his legal career in Montgomery County as law clerk to the Honorable William R. Carpenter of the Montgomery County Court of Common Pleas, a position he resigned when he became an Assistant District Attorney. After leaving the District Attorney's Office, Mr. Gallo went on to practice law in the private sector for prestigious law firms in both Montgomery County and Philadelphia. Mr. Gallo has been recognized in Suburban Life Magazine's 2016 Top Attorneys as a Top Criminal Defense Attorney.
