Lyndsey A. Gallagher

Lyndsey A. Gallagher is committed to empowering survivors of sexual abuse and championing justice for the marginalized and exploited.

Lyndsey first launched her private practice in 2015 in Westlake, California, in civil and education law, focusing on children with disabilities and mental illness. For a decade, she fought for educational equality and inclusion at every phase of the special education process—from diagnosis to graduation — with the goal of training parent-clients to become effective advocates for their children.

In 2019, Lyndsey joined the Zalkin Law Firm, LLP in San Diego as co-counsel on a multi-plaintiff sex abuse case launching a 5-year collaboration. In 2024, Lyndsey joined Zalkin exclusively, where she began handling a broad range of sex abuse cases – ranging from high-profile cult and medical abuse cases – to local school districts. Lyndsey brings trauma-informed representation and her unique insight and passion to her representation of survivors.

A proud graduate of the University of California, Santa Barbara, Lyndsey earned a Bachelor of Arts in Law and Society with honors. She later obtained her Juris Doctorate from Santa Barbara College of Law. She holds licenses to practice in the U.S. Southern, Central, and Eastern District Courts. She is an active member of the National Crime Victims Bar Association (NCVBA), the Council of Parent Attorneys and Advocates (COPAA), the California Attorney Parent Association (CAPCA), the Santa Barbara Bar Association, and the Beverly Hills Bar Association.
