The Gallegos Legal Group combines large firm expertise with the practical efficiencies of a boutique practice.  The firm is owned and operated by Yolanda Gallegos, who brings a quarter-century of experience representing private colleges and universities.  Ms. Gallegos honed her talents with education law at reputable law firms in Washington, D.C., where she counseled colleges and universities on matters of regulatory compliance, federal grants, audit and program review defense, litigation and much more.  Ms. Gallegos continues to represent the same caliber of clients and do the same quality of work for postsecondary educational institutions throughout the nation, with particular expertise in matters related to eligibility to participate in the student aid programs as authorized by Title IV of the Higher Education Act and administered by the U.S. Department of Education.

Ms. Gallegos provides educational institutions with the distinct advantage of working with an experienced attorney with a large-firm background at rates that are substantially less than similarly qualified attorneys would charge for the same services. The efficiencies of a small-firm practice allow her to keep her overhead costs low while delivering education law services of unparalleled quality.
