Quality support

Mr. Gilbert was retained as our attorney to provide support as we navigated an unpleasant dispute with a prior landlord. His knowledge, professionalism, and communication skills proved to be key in swiftly carrying our case to resolution without litigation. We quickly became very comfortable with h...im as the result of his ability to build a close relationship with us and demonstrate that he was there to help. I highly recommend working with Mr. Gilbert and would not hesitate to hire him again.

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.
