Thankful to have found Mr. Gilmer.

I hired Mr. Gilmer as a family law attorney, from our first conversation I knew he would have my best interest at heart. He was understanding, not judgemental, HONEST, and throughout the entire process kept me well informed without overwhelming me with things I didn't need to worry about at the time.... In the end we won our case and it was so helpful to have an attorney who not only got the job done, but remained compassionate. I can't thank Mr. Gilmer enough!

Great ESQ

I had a family dispute which was fabricated by my own family, and this resulted in my arrest. George was the only lawyer I felt comfortable in explaining this very embarrassing ordeal. My Family and I have been at odds my whole life, and George ended up seeing that play out on paper, and in court. Ge...orge didn't judge me, and he understood after further review. George did a "great job", given this emotional scenario on my part. I would definitely hire George again, and recommend him as an ESQ.

Great lawyer

Mr. Gilmer is very responsive and knowledgeable in family law. Helped me tremendously in my custody battle.

Highly Recommended!

Mr. Gilmer represented me in an ACS case in family court. The mother of my children made accusations of domestic violence against me leading to my children being removed from my home. Mr. Gilmer filed for a hearing and after totally discrediting the mother had my children returned to me. I now have ...the children in my care and the mother has supervised visits. I highly recommend Mr. Gilmer in the defense of an ACS case.

Mr. Gilmer is highly recommended in his field of expertise. Mr Gilmer goes above and beyond to get the job done and bring families together. An understanding attorney who fights for what is right.

Matter of IL and JL

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.

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.
