I've known Mike Gallagher since I was a boy. He and my father, and later myself, all served on the Board of Directors for the Texas Trial Lawyers Association. Mike is as good a lawyer as there is, and a great and generous person. Thanks go to Mikal Watts, a fellow TTLA Board member who commissioned this portrait to honor Mike and thank him for his generous contributions to TTLA and to our community. The portrait will hang in the TTLA offices in Austin, Texas.
