Gillian Fierer O'Nan

Gillian helped me file for a divorce with my wife. The whole process was done swiftly, painlessly and efficiently. Although my divorce was a simple one, i was concerned & worried about it. But Gillian got the job done as quickly as possible without any hassle or complications. I was really happy to h...ave her, and would recommend her to anyone needing legal support.

Working with Gillian was a wonderful experience. She helped me (VERY QUICKLY) file for divorce and ultimately negotiate a post-nuptial agreement. In drafting the agreement, she listened carefully to my needs and wants (keeping my son's daily life as consistent as possible) and worked very hard to cra...ft a strong contract that addressed all of my potential needs in the event of a divorce. Gillian is very efficient and responsive. She clearly informed me of all my rights and options. I highly recommend Gillian for your family law needs.

Gillian was recommended to me by one of the top attorneys in the state (due to a conflict of interest it wasn't wise for me to be represented by the atty making the recommendation). I was more than impressed with her ability, knowledge, response time, and once all the unavoidable maneuvering had occ...urred we mediated, wrote the final order, had it signed and filed on the same day. Highly recommend.

Gillian is professional, knowledgeable, and dependable. She handled my case with the tenacity you want in your attorney, and at the same time she managed to be compassionate given the tender nature of the case. She sincerely worked in my best interest. She was honest, forthright, and displayed a lot... of integrity. Gillian knows her stuff. There wasn't a question I asked that wasn't answered thoroughly and in plain English so I knew exactly what she was saying every time I presented a question or asked for clarification on a matter, document, etc. I have and will continue to refer her to whomever I know in need of her services.

What should have been a simple, uncomplicated divorce became very complicated and litigious thanks to the opposing counsel, who seemed positively giddy at the prospect of taking the case to court; at which point I was so very glad that I made the decision to hire Gillian. I had absolute faith in her... ability to handle a case that seemed like it might suddenly be headed for court. Thankfully, after nearly 6 months and the OC having filed almost every document that was possible to be filed, we reached a settlement agreement and avoided court. Gillian was familiar with the mediators in Dekalb county, having worked with them many times before, and I believe that was to our advantage. And, being a notary public, I was able to sign all the final documents and have them filed that very day, so that we were completely done. Not how it usually happens, I understand. I must admit that in the beginning she came off as rather short and blasé about things that caused high emotion in me, but I realized soon enough the value of that level-headed calmness and focus in the midst of what to me felt like chaos. There were many times that I called her with the latest unbelievable actions of my wife and Gillian helped calm me down and put it in perspective, for which I am eternally grateful. And what came off as brusque turned out to be more about efficiency and keeping my costs (i.e. her billable time) down, which was truly impressive in comparison to other lawyers. Gillian is not the cheapest lawyer you can find, but I really felt she was worth every penny, and every bill she sent was absolutely reasonable in that I never once felt like her hours were padded. If anything, I was surprised at how little time she billed for some activities, like a huge array of interrogatories and responses to discovery. And Gillian’s knowledge of family law and her ability to anticipate the reaction of the judge to certain motions was invaluable in helping me to make decisions about what course to take during the case and how much to push or not to push on certain topics. Obviously, I cannot say enough good things about Gillian and her skill. She can be trusted to give it to you straight and to be there when you need her.
