This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Exceeded Expectations

My malpractice case was complicated and against a major highly rated hospital. When meeting with Mr. Gilreath I was treated with respect and given the time to review my concerns, discuss my care and negative outcomes. He researched and found experts in the field of my injury who reviewed my case and ...ordered further testing to prove my case. Mr. Gilreath is not only a great attorney but a compassionate person. I would recommend his services to anyone!

Excellent

I had a malpractice case against a large specialty practice and consulted with Mr. Gilreath. He was willing to review and take my case. He was very honest and up front about where we stood at all times. Mr. Gilreath and his staff worked diligently on my behalf throughout the process. I would highl...y recommend Mr. Gilreath to anyone and would certainly hire him again.

wrongful death case

I hired Mr. Gilreath to handle a wrongful death case against a drunk driver and the bar serving the driver alcohol. I found him and his staff to be thorough and professional throughout the case. I recommend him without reservation. His investigation was the key to resolution of the case.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • 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.
