Betch

If I could give zero stars I would. This betch had my ex husband’s attorney fees taken from our children’s auxiliary benefit back pay. Talk about shady, stealing from children. Shameful!!!$

A mentor and a true friend

Emily Gilbert exemplifies what it means to be an advocate for social justice. She is a kind, driven, professional who always puts her clients first. After 10 years of practice her vast knowledge of social security allows her to zealously represent her clients. Clients, opposing counsel and jurists ac...knowledge her expertise and professionalism frequently. It is without question that I recommend Emily Gilbert.

Excellent

Emily knows her stuff. She is straight forward, honest, and right on top of things. She won my case and I can not thank her enough. She was referred to me by another friend who she also won her case! These were both not simple straight forward cases.

Extremely knowledgable and thorough

I was laid off and felt I was discriminated against by my employers. Never being in a situation to need legal advise I was checking with different attorneys for information. After my initial consultation at the law firm Emily Gilbert and I met and she was assigned my case. I felt both confident and ...comfortable with Emily. She was knowledgeable, professional and very thorough. As we went through the lengthy process she was always available to address my concerns and questions. I always felt she was invested in my case an was fighting to attain me the best results possible. When it came to making decisions with me she was always forthright and honest which was very helpful. With all that is involved in a lawsuit especially continuously facing your former employer, it can be a very stressful situation. She certainly helped make that process easier for me. I never felt like I was just another lawsuit or number to her I knew she was giving me an my case 100%. I have referred Emily Gilbert to others needing legal advise and I know they were pleased after speaking to her. I would recommend her to anyone looking for an attorney that will fight for you from day one to the very end.

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.
