Grateful Beyond Words!!!

I met George during one of the most overwhelming moments of my life, and from our very first conversation, I felt truly seen and understood. He never treated my situation like just another case — he treated me with genuine respect and humanity. He understood the fear, the sleepless nights, and the co...nstant worry I was carrying. His patience, honesty, and steady calm brought me peace when everything felt chaotic. I am forever grateful for his support. If I could give him 100 stars, I absolutely would. I will recommend him to anyone who needs an attorney who truly sees the person behind the legal problem

Professional, caring and successful

Mr.Gilmer was a pleasure to work with throughout my stressful court situation. He explained the process clearly, gave me realistic expectations and worked hard on my behalf for a successful outcome. He was always available for answering my concerns and even when just reassurance was needed. I highly ...recommend him and his team without reservation.

Mr. Gilmer is excellent...job well done with expertise and care!

I hired George Gilmer to represent me in a family law matter and I was very impressed with his expertise revolving around the case. It was George's knowledge that gave us the information and strategies to have the case dismissed. In addition, Mr. Gilmer really cared about my family and spoke with us ...after hours and on weekends to make sure we were at ease and answer any of our questions. I highly recommend George to anyone looking to resolve matters in family law. I know that if any issues arise for us in the future, Mr. Gilmer will be my first call!

Highly Recommended

I have used George Gilmer for many matters in various courts. I have found him to be very effective (that's why I kept using him). He was very responsive to my questions and practical in his approach. He made very compelling arguments in Court and was very knowledgeable about the law and he made the... most compelling arguments possible. He represented me in a case that went before the Second Circuit Court of Appeals and did a great job. I have a great amount of respect for him because he was very honest with me, he did not just tell me what I wanted to hear. I am very pleased with his work and would recommend him without any hesitation or reservation.

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.
