Michael Frederick Gillen

We adopted our granddaughter this spring. That sentence may sound simple, but the road that brought us to this moment has been long, emotional, and incredibly complex. We firmly believe that Mr. Gillen’s professionalism, experience, guidance, and —most of all—his kindness made it possible for us to n...avigate every stage of this process: temporary custody, final custody, termination of parental rights, and ultimately, adoption. In today’s world, it’s easy to search online, scroll through websites, read reviews, and make decisions about appliances, cars, and everyday purchases. But choosing a Family Lawyer is far more personal than clicking through a website and hoping for the best. A website can tell you about a law firm’s services, but it cannot show you the relationship you will build with the person who stands beside your family during its most vulnerable moments. Our journey lasted more than seven years, and throughout every step, Mr. Gillen walked beside us with unwavering dedication. Although our time with him is at an end, we know he is already walking alongside another family, offering them the same steadfast representation he gave us. Words cannot adequately express how grateful we are that God placed this man in our lives at the exact moment we needed representation. His work has forever changed our family, and we will always be grateful.

Mr. Gillen really listened to the problems I had and offered solutions. Mr Gillen explained what the pros and cons were for each and gave real life examples of outcomes that he achieved in other situations. We came to a quick resolution to a family law matter that had been an issue for years! Even du...ring Covid! Great guy, great practice, highly recommend!

I had to consult with Michael On a variety of issues ranging from domestic law to probate and trusts to personal injury. I needed advice and counsel on all three of these areas and found him to be extremely knowledgeable in all of them. He far exceeded my expectations and I would highly recommend him... to any potential client.

Mr Gillen and his staff were excellent throughout my divorce and custody case. So much in fact, that I hired Mr Gillen again for our change of custody case a year later. He did a great job of answering all of the questions I had and gave honest, sound council. He's very personable, but an absolute pr...ofessional as well. While I wouldn't wish our circumstances on anyone, my daughter and I were fortunate to have had Mr Gillen represent us and I highly recommend him!
