Unprofessional Lawyer

Galen showed a lack of professionalism and attentiveness. He came across as dismissive, didn't listen carefully, and seemed unwilling to dedicate time to my case. I would not recommend him.

Be careful

After meeting with Mr. Gilbert in his law office for reviewing my case documents and having consultation. Mr Gilbert agreed to represent me in court. First thing he asked me to is to go to court to get him some documents. He didn't preform any work towards my case. I did send him some documents a...nd pictures weeks before the court day he called me on Friday to give me directions to pick him up on Monday from his house and take him to court!! When I asked Mr. Gilbert what is his preparation about the pictures and the documents I sent him for Monday court; his answers was Mr. Gilbert didn't do any filing or provide any work towards my case except returning my phone calls. He did not assign himself in court as my attorney to represent me in the court. Do not waste your time and your case because of this lazy guy, be careful save your money and do not trust this guy....

Misrepresentation

After doing a phone consultation, and reviewing documents, Mr Gilbert agreed to represent me in court. He spent most of my retainer reading my emails and doing reseach. Then decided that he would not be the right lawyer for my case. He led me on and spent my money. Not to be trusted.

Disappointed in Boston

I wish I checked Avvo before I employed Galen's services. To say I was disappointed would be an understatement. We lost an easy case, I wanted to protect my assets as afforded to me by law and Mr. Gilbert only really had to see through pre trial hearings but instead he compelled me to give up infor...mation that I didn't want to give and didn't have to give, but he assured me it would be ok. It wasn't. I had to settle for thousands and he quickly ditched me afterwards. I do not recommend this lawyer.
