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.

Dont do it
I was a client of George Gilmer in 2016 for a child custody case.

Dear Staci, considering the circumstances of your case at the time, which you know very well, the solution we pursued was the best way to go. I am sorry you are dissatisfied with my service but your case was particularly complicated. To protect your confidentiality I will say no more. If you can give me a second opinion from a lawyer that convinces me I made the wrong moves in your case I will issue you a refund of your retainer.

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.
