An Exceptional Lawyer

My experience with George came as a result of a litigation I wanted to initiate against a business partner who was defrauding a business we started together. George was recommended by a friend of mine who had used him in the past on another legal matter and who said their experience with him was won...derful. After having met with George during my initial consult, I immediately realized he was an extremely knowledgeable lawyer with great interpersonal skills. After my meeting with him, I hired him to represent me on my case and it was the best decision I've ever made. George was amazing in court and his ability to negotiate and litigate were instrumental in helping me save my business. I highly recommend him to anyone needing a tenacious lawyer who is honest and has his client's back.

Great Divorce Lawyer

Mr. Gilmer handled my uncontested divorce matter which ended last month. I shopped around for quite some time for a lawyer that would not charge me an arm and a leg for a simple divorce. I was going to do the divorce myself but the first time I submitted the papers the clerk rejected them because I... omitted information concerning my custody arrangement with my soon to be ex husband. I called Mr. Gilmer and he was very helpful. He gave me a free consultation on the phone and assured me that he could fix the mistakes on my divorce papers quickly and get my divorce processed.Prior to speaking with him I was very skeptical about the low fee that he charged and thought this was just a tactic to get me in the door. He told me straight up that he would not charge me anymore than what he quoted initially. He lived up to his promise, corrected the papers within two days and got me my divorce. I am very happy with the services he provided to me. I highly recommend him to handle any legal matter.

Great ACS attorney

Mr. Gilmer represented me in an ACS case (Administration for Children Services) case. Completely false charges were filed against me sometime back and in the beginning I did not retain a lawyer because I thought I could handle it on my own. Much to my surprise ACS indicated the case against me with ...no evidence. It was more a personal thing than anything. I am a Health Care professional that works with children and having an indicated report against me was the worst thing that could happen to my career. I was faced with losing my job and losing the ability to make an income. Mr. Gilmer quickly returned all of my phone calls and charged a very reasonable rate for his services. I am so grateful for him because he got that indicated report against me overturned and now I do not have to worry about not being able to work with children. I am so very grateful to Mr. Gilmer for all his help.

After I got on the case and advocated on behalf of the parents the case was closed as unfounded and the parents were finally able to mourn the loss of their child in peace.

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.
