Straightforward and Helpful

I am currently going through a divorce. My lawyer was giving me advice that I questioned and I needed to get a second opinion. At no charge, George came through for me. He was very helpful in reassuring me that my lawyer was indeed giving me good advice and looking out for my best interests. I am sur...prised to see that a few reviews on this site only give him one star. My experience was very positive.

Best lawyer

During one of the most difficult and scariest time in my life, I walked into George Gilmer’s office. It all changed from there. I started off needing an uncontested divorce, which is what I thought. This led into a huge child custody and support battle. It wasn’t your average case. My ex moved out of... the state, and had the kids for the summer but refused to return them. He kidnapped them from me, while I was taking care of them for the past 3 years when my ex husband abandoned us. I was lost and George helped me get my kids back. He scheduled immediate court dates, since time was have an essence. He didn’t stop working my case, until he got me all the right court orders, and had my kids returned into the state. He later got me sole custody, proving to the judge that the dad was unfit. He completely changed my life with his dedication and hard work. He was consistent, contacted me when necessary, returned all my emails and phone calls. He never missed a court date and boy were there many. His rates were more than reasonable and fair. I would recommend George Gilmer to anyone who is looking for a loyal, professional and aggressive lawyer. Everything he promised would happen did happen. I will forever be grateful for his services. ​

Integrity still exists in 2016

Hello Readers! Please read this review and allow this review to stand firm in your mind. I am a person who respects and treasures integrity, in fact It's my motto and I can be often heard saying, "everyone is treated with dignity and respect" I believe that it's not the fall that matters it'...s the come back. If you can expose any wrong you should also go to extreme measures to expose the right. In May of 2016 I wrote a review sharing my experience with Mr. George Gilmer it was not favorable and Today I want to update those who read. A few weeks ago all that I believed the world to be was gone and I had begun feeling as if this world was dark and without notice Mr Gilmer reached out to me and it was this moment that God showed me that's not true People with integrity and respect still exist despite all that's dark in this world. Mr. Gilmer and I had a opportunity to talk and apologies where given from him and myself, things like this is totally unheard of and because of it I will forever be grateful. What integrity, respect and professionalism it takes to ensure by any means necessary your client is left happy and Mr Gilmer has done not just that but beyond. Mr. Gilmer's actions and goodwill surpasses my wildest imagination and shows that Integrity, honesty and kindness does still exist. New developments has resulted in my guardian case and Mr.Gilmer has taken the particulars of the new case development and has been the attorney on the case pro bono. I immediately teared as he offered to do this, no one made him, he certainly did not have to it simply was in his heart to do. This is the kind of person I trust with anything that's important to me. Not only do I respect Mr Gilmer I applaud his courage. I am going to rehire Mr Gilmer on a new development. I am with Mr Gilmer and sincerely endorse him. I believe and recommend any person with the level of integrity that Mr Gilmer has shown. I also wish to openly thank you Mr. Gilmer for all of your efforts but most importantly for giving my hope back because of you I believe again thank you sir Respectfully and Whole heartedly submitted Melba

Top Notch Attorney

I recently hired the Gilmer Law Firm to handle a child support case for me. He was very knowledgeable in dealing with this of type situation and had given me a very fair price compared to several other attorneys I spoke with. From our first discussion he made me feel very comfortable and confident ab...out my case and he was quick to respond to all my calls and questions. I live in another state so he set it up for me to testify electronically from my state instead of having to incur the expense of a hotel and traveling into NY for court. Everything went the way he had explained and he got my case dismissed. I HIGHLY recommend Mr.George Gilmer and the Gilmer Law Firm

Mr.Gilmer was very honest and up front. My divorce proceedings went better then expected. We went in expecting the worse and came out with both parties reaching a out of court settlement which was extremely better than what we expected. Thanks again Mr. Gilmer.

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.
