“If I am fortunate enough to earn your vote and be elected to the Monroe County Family Court bench, I promise to protect the rights of the children and the families that come before me.”
- John B. Gallagher, Jr.
My name is John B. Gallagher, Jr., and I’d like your support for Monroe County Family Court Judge. I’ve been an attorney practicing family law in Monroe County for the past 15 years, specializing in all areas related to domestic relations and family law.
After being admitted to the Bar, I spent four years in private practice where I concentrated on family court issues. Since 1999 I have been serving as the confidential law clerk to the Honorable Gail A. Donofrio in Monroe County Family Court.
I believe my experience uniquely qualifies me to serve the citizens of Monroe County as a Family Court Judge. As a family man, I understand what it is like to balance work and family; and as a family law clerk, I have seen the impact of family court decisions on local families and the community.
In private practice I represented husbands, wives, mothers, and fathers in divorce actions and child support cases – but also parents, children, grandparents, and other relatives in all areas of family law.
Additionally, I have practiced in other areas including civil litigation and criminal defense which, combined with my family court experience, gives me the necessary background to be an effective judge.
Family Court cases are particularly gratifying to me because it allows me to help children and their parents when they are in the very worst of personal circumstances. As Family Court Judge, I will focus on bringing proven and effective solutions and outcomes to the families of Monroe County in order to continue helping children in their times of need.
Of particular interest to me are the children who pass through the doors of Family Court from the juvenile offenders system, and I am a firm believer in personal responsibility and the Court playing a positive role in the guidance of juvenile offenders so that they will become responsible citizens of this county.
I am asking for your vote in the general election on November 2, 2010. I appreciate your support!
Sincerely,
John Gallagher
