Lawyer Client Comments

"We have been using Gallagher, Callahan & Gartrell for many years. Ari Pollack has a keen knack of ferreting right to the heart of the problem. H has consistently been spot on with his analysis, and provides us with solid recommendations in our strategy sessions. Ari is and will continue to be an integral part of our decision making team."

"Attorney Pollack continues his outstanding representation of our issues at state government and provides expert counsel to our policy committees."

Kendall Buck, Home Builders & Remodelers Assoc of NH, Concord

"Ari is the principal attorney at Gallagher, Callahan & Gartrell that has handled legal affairs for our company and I am very impressed with his grasp of issues including construction law, permit regulations and his skill in resolving disputes. I would highly recommend him!"

Everett Pollard, Northcape Design, Inc., Sunapee

"Ari Pollack provided our company a level of attention over a 10 year period of time that is just beyond words. He has, during several issues, assessed the situation and cut to the issue at hand without the need of going to court. I have had many lawyers over the years, but not one has even come close to his abilities or level of professional support."

Rick L. Proulx, Sr., Pruven Aggregates, Dover

"We have used Ari Pollack for a number of years. We can always count on the advice given to our bank. He has proven to be a great asset for helping us through a number of projects. He is a pleasure to deal with and always looks out for the interest of his client. I would highly recommend him."

Bob Curtis, Laconia Savings Bank, Laconia

"During many hours of briefings and strategy meetings, Mr. Ari Pollack provided clear and precise information in a manner readily understood by project decision makers. Moreover, Mr. Pollack displays excellent court presence and clearly understands how to communicate to both judge and juries."

Chris Wilber, El Paso Energy

"Ari is an outstanding attorney with keen insights on any matter. I have come to rely on his intelligence and thought process on matters that we bring to him. He is unusually available to his clients via cellphone and email, and extremely responsive. He has guided our company through a number of issues and I am very satisfied with the results. I would recommend him very highly."

Everett Pollard, Northcape Design, Inc., Sunapee

"Ari Pollack is the only lawyer we suggest to our clients when our projects require legal assistance, specifically, regarding wetland and shoreland permitting issues. Ari's succinct nature and attention to the most minute details have proven successful for our projects and clients. His command of the English language translates into precise, yet eloquent, communications between all parties involved. His ability to understand a situation and quickly supply options are invaluable in our line of work. We look forward to working with Ari on our next difficult project."

Greg Grigsby, Pellettieri Associates, Inc., Warner

"Attorney Ari Pollack possesses the unique ability to distill complicated legal matters down to their basics that instill confidence in our volunteer members to actively engage in lobbying. His ability to strike at the heart of the matter, relative to advocating for a specific legislative priority, results in more wins than defeats. Simply put, we would not be nearly as successful without Mr. Pollack and GCG."

Kendall Buck, Home Builders & Remodelers Assoc of NH, Concord

"Part of the value that Ari Pollack provides is that he has a very good working relationship with the permitting agencies in the State of N.H. These relationships result in an open line of communication that often helps my company to avoid expensive delays in permitting programs."

Joe Skiffington, Skiffington Homes, Inc., Center Harbor

"We have employed attorney Ari Pollock on several occasions to represent our firm in the development of residential subdivisions. He has a strong working knowledge not only of construction law but also of the construction process and is able to effective communicate with buyers and municipal representatives in language that they understand. He possesses ability to identify goals and devise plans to efficiently obtain these goals. Attorney Pollack has represented our company in front of the City of Concord, NH in a very delicate land use matter. With his expertise he was able to resolve all issues with the city and our abutters to everyone's satisfaction while improving the reputation of our company. Attorney Pollack is well respected by board members of divisions of the State of NH and various municipalities in New Hampshire."
