What the clients are saying

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

If I could give Mr. Gilman more than 5 stars I would. Gilman is friendly but to the point, honest, prompt, and is able to explain legal issues in layman terms without alienating his client. Mr. Gilman was extremely patient with my 81 year old mother, was professional yet personable, and was a breeze to communicate with. Moreover, Gilman’s fees are very reasonable and it is apparent that he is focused on the betterment of others, not profit. Hands down the best experience I have had in retaining an attorney

Brett helped us with a custody/visitation battle that had been going on for 6 years. We hired him in March and resolved our case a couple of days ago, getting everything that we have been asking for. He was honest, thorough, and always answered any questions that we had. We are so happy that we found him and can’t thank him enough for getting us what we have been fighting so hard for.
