This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Reliable, Effective, and Professional

Being one of the finest lawyers in Calvert County, Judy made quick work of getting two traffic violations thrown out, and proved invaluable in a landlord/tenant dispute. She is reliable, effective, professional, and possesses an extensive proficiency in law; not only did she win my cases, but she als...o provided legal advise on numerous occasions that prevented future issues from arising. I would highly recommend Ms. Gillett if you want an attorney who has your best interest at heart, wins your cases, and treats you like family.

Highly recommended

Judy is extremely intelligent, knowledgeable, and never backs down from a challenge. She helped me get out of some unfair (and expensive) tickets that would have wrecked my driving record. She asks all of the relevant questions and crafts her defense well. I would recommend her to anyone seeking a go...od lawyer!

Judy is the best!

I hired Judy when I got out of the military and relocated back to the local area to be with my son who was in the physical custody of his dad. She took my case and was ready to work for me. She never made any promises she could not keep and never gave me any unrealistic expectations. She fought for m...e at every hearing and she gave me sound advice on how to proceed outside of my feelings. She never backed down for the opposing party attorney and in the end, she won my case. I got what I was seeking, more time with my son. I would recommend her to anyone searching for an excellent family law attorney.

Divorce Case

I would highly recommend Judith Gillett to anyone going through a divorce or separation. She was very knowledgable about family law, provided expert guidance and advice, and was very responsive to me. During my recent separation and divorce, I most valued her straightforward, yet caring approach to... my situation. Divorce is a highly emotional process and there were many times when I struggled with looking out for my own best interests. Judith listened, showed empathy, but consistently applied logic and reason. I never felt pressured, rather, she often simply helped me see the short- and long-term implications of the decisions I was making. Having a lawyer so knowledgable about family law, coupled with a caring attitude, helped me through one of the most difficult periods of my life.

Amazing Lawyer

Ms. Gillett has hands down been the best lawyer I have ever encountered. Not only did she get to know me on a personal and professional level to help my case , but she went above and beyond all my expectations. She was there for me through out the entire process and made me feel completely at ease. I... found it refreshing that everything was stored electronically and that made it so easy to access information. I could text her and she would always respond no matter what the time. It was wonderful having her there for me 24/7.I never had any trouble reaching her . I was deeply impressed with her accurate knowledge of the legal system and she never failed to amaze me. I would reccomend her to everyone.
