Uncomfortable position made a little easier

Mr. Gillis represented me in a child support modification awhile back. He’s a great guy but he means business. My ex-husband and I had always worked together on raising our son, right up until it came down to the money anyway. Unfortunately, something had to be done. Our son was getting older and the... expenses began to increase but his father didn’t want to pay the full amount. Mr. Gillis took a very uncomfortable situation and made it as easy as possible for me. He’s a fantastic lawyer who knows his stuff and will defend his client to the end. I thank him for his help and appreciate his extensive knowledge. I would call on him again in a heartbeat if a situation ever arose where I needed a lawyer. Thanks Jim!

Patient, Courteous and Easy to work with

I have never had to use a lawyer before but decided to have a will done. I asked a lot of questions and Mr. Gillis did a good job of explaining things. He was very patient with my schedule in getting the documents finalized and I would recommend him to anyone needing help.

Having the right Attorney for the right job

Mr. James Gillis is a very professional and knowledgeable Attorney. He was referred by a very good friend when I was looking for a lawyer to represent me after my vehicle was T-Boned by another vehicle. He handled everything in dealing with the other driver insurance to medical expense and kept me in...formed throughout the entire process. In the end, I am well pleased with his services and do recommend his services to others.

Couldn't Of Asked for Better!

Jim Gills represented me with a child support/custody case for my 7yr old daughter. Before our court date i foolishly let my daughter go visit her dad and he wouldn't give her back. That's when Mr. Gillis really stepped to the plate and got everything i needed in order for me to get her back quickly!... Jim kept in touch with me and i was well informed, which made it a lot easier to not worry. When our final court date finally came, i was awarded full custody and i give a big thank you to Jim Gillis!

  • 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.
