Best decision ever!

Hiring this man for my personal injury case was the smartest decision. He is caring and hard working. Best of all he won my case for more money than I thought possible.

BEST ACCIDENT ATTORNEY

I am very happy I chose this attorney. He was recommended to me by a friend, whose son was badly hurt and Mr. Gilman got him a lot of money. I was very stressed because I had an automobile accident. He made me feel better from the first time I spoke to him. He got all of my medical bills paid and... got me excellent money for my injuries. I very much recommend him to anyone who was in an accident.

Posted by Marion | July 09, 2021 | Hired Attorney | Slip and Fall Accident

Simply the Best!

I slipped and fell on the sidewalk in front of a store. The store owner had neglected to keep the sidewalk in front of his building safe for pedestrians like me. When I slipped I fell down a few stairs that led to the building's basement. I really messed up both ankles and both knees. I hired Sco...tt Gilman as my attorney. I was pretty badly hurt and didn't know how I was going to manage taking care of myself and my home or go to work. Mr. Gilman helped me to file a claim against the building /store owner and the City of New York. This was all new to me; I had never been involved in any kind of lawsuit before. He reassured me every step of the way. and made the process very smooth and easy for me. What impressed me the most was that he was genuinely concerned about my well being and wanted to make sure that first and foremost I got the medical attention that I needed. Mr. Gilman got for me a generous settlement from both parties. That money helped me to take the time I needed to recover before returning to work and to get help at home so that I could get the rest I needed. I don't know what I would have done without him. I urge everyone that reads this to hire Scott Gilman.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Scott is a fantastic trial lawyer. He is one of the most accomplished and diligent attorneys I know. I had the pleasure of working together with him on several medical malpractice cases and I found him to be thorough, responsive and extremely capable. Most importantly however, he is honest and cares deeply for the people he represents. I think the key to his success is that he puts his clients needs above his own. I highly endorse him."

  • 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.
