Bill Gallina was born and raised in the Bronx - - attending public schools and later working his way through college where he earned a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering. After college, Bill worked as an engineer for Grumman Aircraft Engineering Corp. as a rocket propulsion design engineer for the development and building of the Lunar Excursion Module that landed on the moon (for the record, that makes him an actual rocket scientist).
While intensely working for Grumman he attended St. John’s University, School of Law where he spent nearly 4 years of nights and weekends earning a Juris Doctor degree. He was admitted to practice law in the State of New York in 1967. Upon graduation from law school he began working for a Wall Street law firm doing intellectual property law. Following that, to obtain broader experience, he went into practice doing criminal work and general practice which led him into private practice doing exclusively personal injury cases representing his friends and neighbors in Bronx County. That was 30 years ago, and Bill’s expertise has grown, not only in law, but in technology and medicine which are essential elements of a personal injury case. Using this vast experience he has represented hundreds of clients with professional, ethical and hard work all necessary to be successful in this field of law.
In 1992 he founded his own personal injury law firm, and the office now handles hundreds of cases a year, with 6 attorneys, 6 support staff, and Bill himself at the helm.
Though Bill’s practice has expanded to the representation of people all over the metropolitan area and all its courts, there’s a reason that Bill keeps his practice in the Bronx, for he represents the people he knows and understands as only a person born and raised in the Bronx can. He never forgets his roots and will never quit fighting and winning for his clients, whether from the Bronx or other parts of the metropolitan area of this great city.
