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.

Family Business

Mr. Gilmer was introduced through a friend after i explain to Mr.Gilmer about my family consulting services. When the client told me that i gave them the wrong information i called Mr. Gilmer for advice and he recommended to change the business from INC. to and LLC to provent any personal law suits ...from happening and he is right on point. He is very easy to work with also i have referred him to other clients as well.

Pleased with Mr. Gilmer

My case was a custody case. Mr. Gilmer was knowledgeable in this area. He was prompt on court days and reassuring that this case would be in my favor. He provided professional advice throughout the case and was available via phone each time I had concerns. Even after the case I was able to reach out ...to him to seek professional guidance on a completely different matter.

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

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.
