I can’t thank Casey at Gilman Law enough. I was facing multiple serious charges DV, witness intimidation, and an open container and she completely turned things around for me. From the start, Casey was professional, supportive, and fought tirelessly on my behalf. Every single charge was dismissed t...

I can’t speak highly enough of or have more appreciation for Attorney Gilman and his office staff. When freedom is what we’re fighting for, an important decision to make is what attorney we hire to-represent us. Attorney Gilman has a unique skillset for understanding the intricacies of the RMV an...

I hired Matt Gilman to handle an RMV matter. Our initial conversations were good, and I paid him. Well. Then I waited. And Waited. And waited. For a return phone call about my case. When we finally spoke, he treated me like a criminal. Spoke down to me. Very condescending. I would avoid hiring Matt G...
I am really sorry that you had a negative experience. It is difficult for me to properly respond to such a review when the post was done anonymously. It often takes time for my office to obtain all the records and documents from the Registry of Motor Vehicles. My job when hired to deal with the Registry of Motor Vehicles is to tell you what you need to hear and the process that we need to take to get you back on the road. Sometimes that means having to hear that the Registry will assume everything in the police and medical reports that they received is true. The goal in every case my firm handles with the Registry is to get clients back on the road as quickly as possible. That often means having to tell clients things that they do not want to hear. It is not aimed at being condescending, it is preparing you to deal with the Registry and/or Division of Insurance Board of Appeals.
"Atty. Matt Gilman uses his talent and experience for everyone, not just his clients. I met Matt at a volunteer seminar on RMV licensing issues a few years ago, because real lawyers never *stop learning. He spent his time and effort to help educate his colleagues on nuanced areas of the law. He is always willing to take a call seeking guidance, or offer his perspective on approach. Lawyers that help other lawyers improve their knowledge, or share their resources deserve every success that comes their way. Good lawyers care very much about their clients and the results of the case; Great lawyers care just as much about the work of their colleagues and overal reputation of the bar. Matt is a great lawyer and I reccommend him."
"Matt is a great lawyer and extremely knowledgable in all issues surrounding criminal defense and RMV license appeals. I highly recommend this lawyer."
"Matt is a top notch Lawyer in the community who I have worked very closely with. I happily give him my endorsement as I know he is very knowledgeable in the world of criminal defense"
"I endorse Attorney Gilman. I've known him for several years and would, without hesitation, refer to him any client needing assistance with a driver's license or criminal defense issue."
