Great lawyer!

I hired the Fillingim Law Firm to represent me and my company in a business dispute. I own an irrigation and lighting company. My company did repair work on the irrigation system at an apartment complex. The work needed to be performed quickly before the end of the calendar year. When we finished... the work, the manager refused to pay. Attorney Gary Fillingim initially attempted to resolve the case with the lawyers for the apartment complex. However, they did not make a reasonable offer and we filed suit and filed a lien against the property. Gary pushed the case hard and ultimately got the apartment complex to pay the contract amount plus all of the interest that had accumulated. Gary put a tremendous amount of time into resolving my case and he and his office kept me informed all along the way. Everyone at the Fillingim Law Office was very competent, efficient and very easy to work with. I highly recommend the Fillingim Law Office and will call them again if I ever need a lawyer for me or my business.

Great Injury Lawyer

I was very pleased and happy with the work of Attorney Gary Fillingim while representing me in my personal injury case. Mr. Fillingim was relentless in pursuing my case against the lawyers for the insurance company. Each time they failed to do what they were supposed to do, Mr. Fillingim, through h...is hard work, forced them to do what was right. Mr. Fillingim treated me with the utmost respect and was always available when I needed to discuss my case with him. He also made himself available to discuss my case with my wife so she could understand everything that was going on. Mr. Fillingim was able to get my case settled for a significant amount of money.

Your search for a personal injury lawyer is over!

Your search for a personal injury lawyer is over -- Attorney Gary Fillingim is an excellent lawyer! I am a Fireman and Mr. Fillingim represented me when I was seriously injured in a car accident with another driver who not only was drinking alcohol but also had no insurance. I was unable to work as... a Fireman for several months and I was not able to work at my other part-time jobs either. My family and I put our trust in the Law Office of Gary Fillingim and Mr. Fillingim and his staff were tremendous. They always kept me up to date on my case and they were always willing to answer any questions that I had. We pursued a recovery against my uninsured motorist carrier insurance company and we were able to settle my case for a substantial sum of money.

Wonderful Communtcation and Hard Working

Attorney Gary Fillingim is currently representing me in a personal injury case after I severely injured my knee and back at work. He and his staff have continued to stay in touch with me and keep me up to date on the status of my case. My impression is that he is very intelligent and knows the law ...very well. Throughout my case, he has been wonderful about communicating with me so that I am able to understand exactly what is going on from a legal standpoint. He and his staff work very hard on my case and I have a tremendous amount of confidence in them

Awesome Attorney

I suffered a back injury on my job. I called Attorney Gary Fillingim and he came to my home and met with me. I was very apprehensive and concerned because I had never been through anything like this before. I was not able to work and was not sure of all of my options. After agreeing to take my ca...se, Mr. Fillingim and his law office worked tirelessly to get my case settled for a significant sum of money. Along the way, Mr. Fillingim always made himself available to discuss my case, answer my questions and advise me of all of my options. Mr. Fillingim is definitely the best lawyer to call if you’re injured in an accident.

  • 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.
