Patrick Gallo, a Norwood native and Interboro High School graduate, is a Partner at MacElree Harvey, where he concentrates his practice on complex commercial, construction, products liability, insurance coverage, and business litigation.

Gallo — who began working when he was 12 years old, delivering newspapers for the Daily Times — earned a bachelor’s degree in Political Science from West Chester University, where he also played football. He earned his J.D. from Widener University by taking classes at night and teaching high school during the day.

Gallo credits a colleague, Al Gollatz, for having the biggest impact on his career.

“Al is a remarkable attorney and even better person,” said Gallo. “He has mentored me since I started with MacElree Harvey as a law clerk and has been instrumental in my legal career.”

His proudest professional achievement was obtaining a verdict on behalf of an elderly couple after six days of trial.

“It was one of my first jury trials,” said Gallo. “I am also proud of the good results I have obtained on behalf of my clients over the years.”

His favorite spots in Chester County are right around the corner from his office in West Chester: Market Street Grill and Carlino’s Market.

Gallo and the rest of the 2022 Class of VISTA Millennial Superstars will be honored at the Awards Reception & Celebration held outdoors on Tuesday, May 10 at Penn State Great Valley. The in-person event will feature food trucks, drinks, touchless registration, a VIP tent, and boundless opportunities to network. It will also be live-streamed.
