Excellent Advice

If your are experiencing problems with debt or facing a difficult time in your life you must contact Mr. Gilman immediately. Our house is worth far less than the amount we owe on it and we must relocate. He listened intently to all of my complicated issues, completely understood them, explained ALL... of my options, and gave sound advice on the best way to tackle my problems. After my initial consultation with Mr. Gilman I was able to sleep peacefully for the first time in a long time.

Excellent Attorney Review for Rich Gilman

Rich is straightforward, polite and instantly put me at ease in a very uncomfortable situation. He is well respected, came highly recommended and I absolutely trust that he will guide me through this situation and I will come out the other side. I would easily recommend Rich to anyone.

Excellent and Ethical Attorney

Mr. Gilman has been my attorney since 2009. He has been very honest and ethical in his dealings with me when filing a Chapter 7 bankruptcy so that I could begin to rebuild my finances after a major job loss. He was able to secure a loan modification with my mortgage company when after repeated e...fforts I had been unable to. Through my subsequent financial upheavals he has continued to work with me to assess my situation and to determine reasonable options to help me regain my financial footing. He has become an invaluable resource for me, and I continue to rely on him for accurate information, ethical treatment, and expert legal representation.

Excellent Counsel

Rich has represented our family in several different litigation-related matters, and has done an excellent job on each and every case. He is very easy to work with, explains things in easy-to-understand terms, works efficiently on the things that are important to the issue, and does not run up his b...ill on "busy work". We would not hesitate to use him again (although we don't want any more legal cases!)

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.
