Great Attorney

I was referred to Bill from my cousin whom he helped stay out of prison. I didn't see any way possible anyone was going to keep him from being sent away with what he did and his violations but Bill did. So when I found myself in trouble I called him. He definitely wants to be paid but he is very affo...rdable and was willing to work with me. Long story short I was on probation I violated instead of sitting in jail the usual 30 days when you violate he got me a court date I turned myself in the night before and was back home the next day with probation reinstated. He is straight to the point and upfront and honest which I love. if I ever need a attorney again he will be who I call. Thanks for helping me and my cousin Bill

Great Attorney! Was a great help to my family - highly recommend

Mr. Gelin was referred to us as he has helped many people. My son really appreciated all the time and effort he spent helping him, guiding him and supporting all of us through a difficult time. Thanks to Mr. Gelin we feel that we received a fair outcome and are grateful for that he was able to achiev...e in our case. I would certainly recommend him and trust you will have a great experience also!!

Saved MY butt

Fast court date and released that day. He’s a bomber for the poor! The love of my life was spared.

Rude Attorney

Being someone that has a loved one in jail and not much money to spare, calling Gelin to get his opinion on what he could do for me and consider hiring him and he cuts me off the entire conversation and tells me I have to pay him before I can talk to him?? So I have to pay you before you tell me wha...t you could possibly do for me?? HE IS ALL ABOUT MONEY AND CARES NOTHING ABOUT YOU AT ALL.
