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.

Satisfied Customer

I hired George Gilmer to handle my divorce. Although it took some extra time due to him getting sick, He is very competent and knowledgeable of the law and how the system works and it makes him great at what he does.

Dont do it

I was a client of George Gilmer in 2016 for a child custody case. He gave me the worst advice a lawyer could give on the spot because he knew i had just gotton suspended from work due to a criminal case pending that actually ended in my favor. He advised me to give up custody of my child and told me ...i could get it back knowing it would be creating an even bigger problem for me. He does not care about his clients well being at all with him its all about money and how fast you can pay him. He was unprepared in court and i am still dealing with the negative effects of his bad advice to this day with new lawyers now confirming to me it was horrible advice. Do yourself a favor and get a lawyer who has your best interest at heart.

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.

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.
