Happy I picked him

I meant to write this review months ago. I hired him for my husband and I saw what a great attorney he was. I was facing serious charges for a white collar crime. Gil was very responsive always answering even on weekends with his no bs attitude and his experience as a prosecutor he knew his way aroun...d the ring. He was definitely worth every dollar

Excellent Criminal Lawyer

I was charged with resisting arrest and OGA in Suffolk county after 2 plus years Mr. Parris got my case dismissed. He was excellent at cross examination during hearing, even though he did not agree with me declining the DA's offers, He still defended me 100% and followed the legal path I wanted to ...take, He is an excellent lawyer I would recommend him to anyone. He gives you all the facts of your case and how it could turn out then allows you to make the decision. If you need an attorney Gilbert Parris is the man you want to hire.

"Gilbert Parris is a very skillful, diligent, and intelligent lawyer who is honest and straightforward with his clients throughout the entire litigation process. If arrested for a DUI or another criminal offense in New York City, or the surrounding boroughs, you can stop your search as you've found the right lawyer to safeguard your rights in the courtroom. Attorney Parris is a zealous advocate for the cause of justice. I highly recommend him. I endorse this lawyer."

Relationship: Co-worker

"I worked with Gil for about 5 years in the DA's office. He's an honest guy and a sharp defense attorney who many go to for advice on criminal defense. He has that rare quality of being open, honest, straight forward and very likable but has over 17 years of experience as both a prosecutor in the busiest area in brooklyn (red Zone) and then over 10 years as a defense attorney. I highly recommend him."
