Early in his legal practice, William F. Gallagher won 19 of the first 26 cases he took to the Supreme Court-a streak that has shaped his career. In the mid 1960s that was an especially impressive accomplishment, with appellants averaging less than 20 percent of the wins.
With characteristic modesty, Gallagher credits the streak to the selections assigned him by his first employer, the late Cyril Cole, of Hartford’s Cole and Cole, which in the early 1960s was the largest plaintiff’s firm in Hartford, with eight lawyers. Since then, Gallagher’s been viewed as an appellate lawyer first, a trial lawyer second.
