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

Excellent service from a great person!

I have known George for over 5 years. His work is exceptional, and he really cares about his clients. I had a very difficult divorce, and George was able to assist me with having this process completed in a timely matter. I highly recommend George to assist with any legal related issues.

Best lawyer in New York!!!

I first retained Mr. Gilmer's services when I was getting divorced from my husband. He did not only represented me in court but he was very supportive throughout my ordeal, he kept me informed and made the process clear and easy to understand. A few years later, after my divorce I needed him for anot...her case and once again Mr. Gilmer was available to provide his professional advise and dedicated services. I am more than happy to recommend George Gilmer as your lawyer.

Excellent Attorney

Mr. Gilmer handled complex civil litigation matters for me, including for a case against the City of New York. It involved the litigation of my Chapter 11 bankruptcy and a number of other ancillary issues related to my case. Mr. Gilmer was excellent in court and was aggressive when he needed to be.... He was also very tactful in general. Mr. Gilmer also represented me in the Second Circuit Court of Appeals and impressively made oral argument in front of now Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor. My company has benefitted greatly from Mr. Gilmer's representation. Mr. Gilmer was available to speak to me when I had concerns and was not aloof like some attorneys can be. He was always upfront about his billing and never made money the centerpiece of our relationship. I highly recommend Mr. Gilmer and I am currently using him for other legal matters. Thank you Mr. Gilmer for your kindness, compassion and dedication.

An Exceptional Lawyer

My experience with George came as a result of a litigation I wanted to initiate against a business partner who was defrauding a business we started together. George was recommended by a friend of mine who had used him in the past on another legal matter and who said their experience with him was won...derful. After having met with George during my initial consult, I immediately realized he was an extremely knowledgeable lawyer with great interpersonal skills. After my meeting with him, I hired him to represent me on my case and it was the best decision I've ever made. George was amazing in court and his ability to negotiate and litigate were instrumental in helping me save my business. I highly recommend him to anyone needing a tenacious lawyer who is honest and has his client's back.

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 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.
