Stay away.

I contacted Mr Gilman regarding a false positive the interlock in my car. I had sent in all my paperwork to the state but they still sent me letter saying suspending license. So I paid Matt $1850 to help me. After an hour he called saying good news. The rmv apparently had a computer issue and didn't ...see paperwork. They were going to reinstate anyways. Well Matt still kept the $1850 basically making a two minute phone call. He's an unethical bottom feeder. The reason attorneys have a bad reputation. I would suggest researching other attorneys for help.

Matt will get you results

I had an interlock suspension and Matt took care of everything quickly and professionally, if you want results Matt Gilman is who you want to call.

Lawyer

I wanted to express the amount of anxiety I had before my conversation with Mathew Gilman. He was very aware of my situation and he put my mind at ease and helped me out. His knowledge on OUI laws are amazing and I recommend him to anyone who will listen to me.

Don't Hire Him!

Don't hire him. His fee structure escalates if your case is escalated. I am entitled to a clerks hearing, but he was refusing to try to get one for me. He's not motivated to get your case dismissed early in the process. I have no criminal record and a clean driving record. And I've been driving ...for 35 yrs. This attorney is only 39 yrs old. After he gets a your signed contract, he won't return your calls. I waited 3 days for a return call and had to call 2xs about an urgent, vexing matter. I was then treated poorly and yelled at. Meanwhile I'm reading witness statements and they contain info that incriminates themselves. Not sure he even read anything. I fired him. BEWARE!!! If you hire him he'll let your case go to trial and you'll have a criminal record. I guess most of his clients are OUI cases, so maybe they aren't entitled to a clerks hearing. After I fired him, I received an automated email from his office introducing his associate who litigates! She looks incredibly young. I guess ALL of his clients wind up going to trial. AVOID. There are much better attorneys out there, for less $$$ too.

I am really sorry that you had a negative experience. My fee structure is designed to provide clients with the most flexibility in controlling their case. When you received the summons, you never afforded me or my office an opportunity to explain how we could have your case remanded to a show cause hearing by filing a simple motion. No one said your case was going to trial or going beyond a show cause hearing. You never gave us an opportunity to explain the process moving forward. I wish you the best of luck moving forward.

SCAMMER, JUDGEMENTAL, Thinks he is the D.A

He told me prior to representation that he would get me back on the road with no problem for an (Immediate threat). After receiving my first payment he was inconsistent with communication, finally when speaking to him he recited my past record to me and proceeded to call me a "drug dealer"! I hired ...him for an appeal and had already done what the RMV asked of me, he sends me a list of tasks to complete that are far more then the RMV itself asks and I would have to pay even more money out of pocket! He was very judgemental in brief conversation ,rude and unprofessional!!! e a "drug dealer"
