Honest and Responsible.

This lawyer is the best lawyer that I have dealt with. He is very honest and responsible. I did not have any unexpected problems with my case. He is very candid and straight-forward. I am very happy that thanks to him I an remain living in the United States.

Very knowledgeable Spanish speaking attorney

Attorney Gil is very professional and speaks Spanish fluently. He was always very concern about my situation and was able to get me a good deal for my mother's case in Hudson County Superior Court. Very decently priced attorney!

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
