About George
Biography
Attorney George Gilmer brings more than a decade of courtroom experience to Gilmer & Associates, where he represents clients in Family/Matrimonial Law, Personal and Business Litigation, Immigration, Bankruptcy, and Criminal Law. He graduated magna cum laude from Boston University School of Law and began his career handling complex commercial disputes and immigration appeals for a national firm. Today, Mr. Gilmer leverages that background to navigate sensitive family conflicts and business controversies alike. He has earned a reputation for vigorous advocacy in child custody battles and debt‐relief proceedings, and he is deeply committed to families facing ACS investigations. By blending aggressive representation with clear communication, George ensures clients understand their options at every stage, whether negotiating settlements or litigating in court. He is admitted to practice in New York and before several federal courts.
