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.

HIghly Recommended. I am very grateful!

I was consumed with so much anxiety and doubt before that first meeting with Mr. Gilmer. I had been swimming in debt for years after college. I didn’t think when I took loans out. It was all too easy to charge my lifestyle on the numerous credit cards in my wallet. Things were going bad fast, and aft...er a few business investments with so-called friends didn’t pan out I hit rock bottom. I was depressed. I was embarrassed to be out with my friends and was constantly harassed at home by creditors. I felt like I would never climb out of this financial nightmare. I didn’t know where to turn or who I could trust until I met Mr. Gilmer. Mr. Gilmer was patient, respectful and very knowledgeable about the law and the options available to me. He really listened and didn’t try to rush me out the door like the typical money crazed NY attorney you hear about. He diligently showed me that he makes his clients his priority. The more we talked, the more he put me at ease, explaining the entire Chapter 7 process. His experience and comfort with this area really shined through. He made what I thought would be a messy and impossible situation seem quite manageable. Until the end, I found that I could rely on Mr. Gilmer and his staff to always keep me informed about what was going on. Mr. Gilmer is a courteous and skilled professional and who cares about his clients and gets the job done. I would highly recommend him to guide you through your legal troubles in a heartbeat.

One Stop Shop!

Mr. Gilmer represented me on 3 different cases over the last years, first in divorce, which included a difficult and long custody and child support battle; then in bankruptcy, and then with immigration. Successful outcomes on each case. Great one stop shop for my legal issues. Highly recommend

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.
