Top-Notch

I can’t thank Regina enough for her support and expertise throughout my custody case. From our first meeting, when I was overwhelmed with anxiety, she made me feel heard and supported. Regina is incredibly kind, fair, and straightforward. Her confidence and legal knowledge helped ease my fears, and I... felt like I was in the most capable hands. Thanks to her, what felt like an impossible situation ended in the best way possible. I’m beyond grateful and highly recommend her to anyone going through a difficult custody battle.

Excellent Attorney

Regina is an excellent attorney, professional and honest to customer. She did a great job for my traffic case. She told me what she was able to do and what was the best result she was able to help me after she took my case. The final result is much better than she told me and I expected. I got a t...raffic ticket on I-74 in Surry area on August 22nd. I took my daughter to college. All of the way I followed the speed limit and drove safely. I drove from I-77 onto I-74 and entered Surry NC. We wanted to go to restroom and take a rest, so I checked GPS Navigation and tried to find the nearest Rest Area or Gas Station. I didn't know and didn't realize that the vehicle's speed was becoming/changing to a speed over 80 mph while I checked GPS Navigation and looked for Rest Area/Gas Station. The whole procedure was a very short period, I guess just about half minute or one minute. The police car parking on road side flashed the blue lights, and I was pulled over safely on side of road. The police walk to my vehicle and said that my vehicle's speed is over speed limit (70 mph), and gave me a traffic ticket (87 mph). I am a conservative driver and drive vehicle very safely, but I got a speed ticket with 17 mph over in NC, and I had to come back on the court date. I contacted and consulted with Regina, and hired her for my case so that I didn't need to come back for the court. After I provided all information including my driving record, she told me she was able to help me get 9 over, the best result would be 5 over. The final result she helped me to receive is a reduction to improper equipment ( a non moving violation ). Given the 17 over I didn't expect any of the DAs would grant that. This final result is much much better I expected. Regina did a great job for my case, and I really appreciate her!!!!!

Knowledgeable, Personable and Tough!

If I had not hired Regina Gillespie, I truly don’t know how I would have gotten through my three years in divorce court! Despite being tough as nails in court, she is very personable. She gave me the information I needed to make some hard decisions, and I always felt she had my best interests at hear...t even if I was being given some information I didn’t want to hear. There were four issues for me to deal with: child custody, child support, marital support and division of property. Regina was very clear in our discussions of what needed to take place and when for each issue, and she fought for what was best for my children and myself in each instance. Regina is a very busy woman, but you could set a clock by the consistency of her timely responses to my (many!) inquiries. I would not hesitate to hire Regina again. She is, hands down, the attorney I would want on my side.

You better not be a man.

I thought I was the only one that had the experience that I did when going here. Then I spoke to someone else that just came straight out with this information without any prompting. By the time me and the other client had left her office (another man dealing with custody).......we thought she was ...our ex wives attourney. Basically if your a man trying to get your kids you can forget it. According to Mrs Gillespie theres nothing you can do and your ex can do whatever she wants and you might as well accept that and move on. I can tell you this is not the case with all lawyers. But again.......IF YOUR A MAN......seek council elsewhere.

It appears that this anonymous review was posted by a gentlemen that did not retain me after a consultation, not a client. I am sorry that this man felt that the advice I gave him was based on his gender. I can assure that I represent both men and woman with no gender bias. Many of my reviews on AVVO are from men. Our Courts are definitely gender neutral and a case rises and falls on the facts of the case! I have always had a policy of being honest with clients. I do not charge a client to take on a case that I do not believe has a chance of success. All clients do not appreciate this candor. I wish this gentlemen all success in his Court action.

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.
