Integrity still exists in 2016

Hello Readers! Please read this review and allow this review to stand firm in your mind. I am a person who respects and treasures integrity, in fact It's my motto and I can be often heard saying, "everyone is treated with dignity and respect" I believe that it's not the fall that matters it'...s the come back. If you can expose any wrong you should also go to extreme measures to expose the right. In May of 2016 I wrote a review sharing my experience with Mr. George Gilmer it was not favorable and Today I want to update those who read. A few weeks ago all that I believed the world to be was gone and I had begun feeling as if this world was dark and without notice Mr Gilmer reached out to me and it was this moment that God showed me that's not true People with integrity and respect still exist despite all that's dark in this world. Mr. Gilmer and I had a opportunity to talk and apologies where given from him and myself, things like this is totally unheard of and because of it I will forever be grateful. What integrity, respect and professionalism it takes to ensure by any means necessary your client is left happy and Mr Gilmer has done not just that but beyond. Mr. Gilmer's actions and goodwill surpasses my wildest imagination and shows that Integrity, honesty and kindness does still exist. New developments has resulted in my guardian case and Mr.Gilmer has taken the particulars of the new case development and has been the attorney on the case pro bono. I immediately teared as he offered to do this, no one made him, he certainly did not have to it simply was in his heart to do. This is the kind of person I trust with anything that's important to me. Not only do I respect Mr Gilmer I applaud his courage. I am going to rehire Mr Gilmer on a new development. I am with Mr Gilmer and sincerely endorse him. I believe and recommend any person with the level of integrity that Mr Gilmer has shown. I also wish to openly thank you Mr. Gilmer for all of your efforts but most importantly for giving my hope back because of you I believe again thank you sir Respectfully and Whole heartedly submitted Melba

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.
