On September 1, Walsh Gallegos officially celebrates 41 years of helping the people who help the kids. Our firm was founded with the core belief that public education makes a difference. We are proud to play a part in serving our communities through our work and look forward to continuing our work in the years ahead.  

We are thrilled to congratulate Denise Hays on her retirement! Denise began her career with our firm December 1995. Her unwavering dedication, hard work, and exceptional leadership have significantly contributed to our success. While we are excited for Denise as she embarks on this new chapter of her life, we will deeply miss her presence and contributions. 

We are excited to announce the retirement of Jan Watson! Since joining the firm in August 2005, Jan has been a cornerstone of our success through her commitment, hard work, and outstanding leadership. As she embarks on this new journey, we want to express our heartfelt gratitude and wish her all the best. Jan, you will be greatly missed!

We want to congratulate Diana Stangl on her retirement! Diana began her career with the firm on October 1, 1989. At that time, the firm only had one office. As the firm has grown, so have Diana’s responsibilities as our Firm Administrator. Diana’s hard work, dedication, and leadership are a major reason we are the firm we are today. And, while we are excited for her as she starts this new chapter, we are going to miss her dearly.   

This expansion represents not only a new chapter for our firm but also our commitment to continue to make a difference in public education. Prior to attending law school, Alicia Currin-Moore was an elementary school teacher for the Oklahoma City Public Schools. After law school, she represented school districts and community colleges in the Texas Panhandle before returning to Oklahoma and working for the Oklahoma City Public Schools and the Oklahoma State Department of Education. Since 2021, Alicia has taught Education Law at the University of Oklahoma College of Law. She joined Walsh Gallegos last year and we are excited for her to lead our office in Oklahoma.
