The worst lawyer

I paid Mr. Gilmer the full fee to do my divorce. I would call, leave message and everytime he needed more money. The case dragged on and eventually he canceled the case. I would not recommend him. He's all about getting money out of you.

Timely Divorce

I found George Gilmer after some searching online. I needed a divorce and an ammendment and he helped me with both (the person I divorced is currently incarcerated so, naturally, I was nervous as to how this would pan out without any legal help). The process was painless. His office staff was very kn...owledgeable as well. My ex-husband was served the papers in October of 2017, and the divorce was granted by the judge on 3/2018. I would definetly recommend him.

Excellent service

Mr.Gilmer is competent and reasonably confident.He was a beacon of hope to me and my family at a time when our options appeared limited and the likelihood of a satisfactory resolution seemed nigh on impossible. Not only was he able to reach a sactisfactory result,and joint custody plus relocation, hi...s calm and empathetic demeanor offered emotional succor to myself and those I care about most.Mr.Gilmer provided unparallel services at a reasonable cost I could not afford elsewhere. My family and I are eternally grateful for his service and I hereby recommend Mr.George Gilmer without reservation.” Gratefully and sincerely, Paul Simon and family.

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. ​

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.

  • 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.
