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!

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.

Divorce Case

I used Mr. Gillis to file my uncontested divorce and he walked me through every step and also gave me some very good advice. There were no problems in the filing process and I got my final papers back without any issues. Very satisfied that he was thorough and knowledgeable about all aspects of the c...ase and would most definitely recommend him to friends going though a divorce.

Very Responsive and helpful!

I contacted Mr. Gillis to prepare a Will not really understanding what I needed. He immediately responded and explained all of the different documents that I may need or want for my circumstances. Mr. Gillis was able to prepare the documents that I selected immediately! I would definitely recommen...d him and use him again for future legal council.

Excellent Attorney

Mr. Gillis represented me on a child support modification. He got the hearing set in a very timely manner, is knowledgeable of current case law regarding the issue, is friendly, and professional. I would definitely use his service again if needed and would highly recommend him to anyone needing legal... representation. I wish I had used his service from the time my child was born.
