Attorney Jose D. Gallardo has been working in the public sector and helping low-income individuals and families address their legal, social, and economic needs since 2011. He often served Spanish speaking individuals. He graduated from Mitchell Hamline School of Law in St. Paul, Minnesota in 2019. During his time in law school, he gained practical, hands-on experience working as a certified student attorney for the Ramsey County Attorney's office, where he prosecuted felony criminal cases. He also spent a summer studying international law abroad in Santiago, Chile. He served as a teaching assistant for a program for incoming law students. He was a former teaching assistant for the University of Minnesota’s Sociology department for an introductory course on crime and the American criminal justice system. He also taught a "Street Law" program through the Minnesota Justice Foundation that educated middle school students on their basic constitutional rights. He received a CALI award for the highest grade in a seminar class, and he served as the president of the Latino Legal Association while attending law school. Notably, he also worked in a law school clinic at the United States/Mexico border, where he helped mothers and children who had been detained prepare for asylum interviews. He received academic honors and graduated cum laude.

He worked with a Minnesota non-profit organization to provide community resources for Spanish-speaking families and helped them apply for government benefits. He also worked as a child support enforcement agent at the Ramsey County Attorney's Office.
After graduating from law school, Attorney Gallardo worked at the Illinois Office of the Comptroller. He served as legal counsel, where he adjudicated state payment offset protests, conducted legal research on statutory obligations, and helped defend the office in active litigation. He was appointed to the Illinois Advisory Council on Substance Use Disorder. He has also served as a volunteer for the Cook County Public Defender Driver’s License Reinstatement Expo.
