Very Disappointed.
Ms. Gillett does not respond to emails, phone calls, or in other manners. She did not respond to my other lawyer or to the court as well. I cannot recommend her to anyone.
I genuinely appreciate feedback, both positive and negative, from my clients. I take their thoughts, impressions, and opinions very seriously. I feel compelled, however, to address the factually incorrect comments left by this reviewer. In March and April of this year, I was very seriously (and unexpectedly) ill, requiring two lengthy hospital stays. Although I endeavored to timely reply to all client inquiries during that miserable time, I was completely incapacitated due to illness. That said, I never missed a court deadline or appearance, I never failed to respond to a court inquiry (I practice in a small county and the local judges were aware that I was ill and hospitalized), nor was any client ever in any jeopardy as a result of my illness. Furthermore, I responded to this client's new attorney immediately upon my receiving an email from him (I know who left this review, as I only lost two clients as a result of my illness). Although two clients were unhappy with my performance as a result of my illness, most were genuinely concerned about my health, and overwhelmingly supportive and understanding (including offers to babysit my children, provide meals for my family, etc.). I pride myself on promptly returning client phone calls, and being overall quickly accessible to my clients. All of my clients have my cellular telephone number, and know that they can reach me (even when I am in court on another matter) by texting me, in the event of an urgent matter. Additionally, I regularly respond immediately to after-hours texts and emails from clients. I have a small practice (by choice) and I am very selective of the clients I represent. I keep my practice small to allow me to give every client as much attention as possible. I do not advertise my services, (I do not even have a yellow-pages listing) relying entirely on client referrals and word of mouth. Nonetheless, my practice is thriving. I believe that I can safely represent that, overall, my clients are pleased with my dedication and determination to achieve the best possible outcome for them (please see my other reviews). I genuinely regret having left a bad impression on two previous clients, and hope that their experience with me does not leave them with a bad overall impression of the profession or the court system.

Wonderful lawyer
Dear Mrs. Gillett, Please allow me to start by saying thank you for all that you did for our daughter during her custody case. We could never have made it through this without you.

BEST lawyer ever!!!!
I found out about Judy through the court house as they recommended her to me. I called and set up a meeting and she was amazing from day one and continues to be! If I have any questions she answers them as fast as she can and she will fight for you! I would and have recommended her to others as I ...

Amazing
Judy joined my divorce/custody case late in the game, but immediately became oriented with the facts and moved forward with fluency and efficiency. She is passionate about her cases, and is driven as though she were working for someone personally close to her. Being well versed in the law, she often ...

Absolutely on her game!!!
Judith has been very on point with dealing with the facts and signed agreements in my post divorce case and getting those agreements enforced. My divorce was final two years ago yet I was still struggling to have my entitlements turned over to me. I came across Judith seeking answers on what forms to...
