Best Lawyer ever- hands down!

I’ve have the pleasure of working with Brian on a post decree support order. He is very patient, attentive, knowledgeable and an overall joy to work with. I’ve been through several attorneys and Brian was the last one- he is truly a god send and I’m absolutely lucky to have finally landed an attorney... who cares about me and has my best interest at heart. If you hire Brian you will NOT regret it!

Posted by Diana | December 12, 2022 | Hired Attorney | Child Custody

Diana Mendez MA, QMHP, ICDVP

I had a prior Attorney that was disbarred and never informed me about it because he was still charging me money and just not showing up to represent me in court. It was at a low point in my life as I was battling for child custody as well as for real estate! I had lost all faith in Lawyers and never ...wanted to use one again! Then I had residual effects from the prior poor representation and had decided to represent myself. But once Covid-19 hit and the world changed; I wasn't feeling so confident about "proceeding pro se" anymore. Around this time I was retelling my story and experience to a friend and she recommended I call a third party acquaintance who suggested I call Brian Gilbert. Needless to say, I eventually reached out and I am so happy that I did. Brian restored my faith in the justice system! He is a confident and aggressive Attorney and after expressing my fears from the prior experience I had, he assured me that he would see my case through and he has! He is very knowledgeable of the law and I could tell how eager he was to help my case! And he did! I can count on his professionalism and candor and he taught me that sometimes you have to put your emotions aside and to consider other scenarios. I've witnessed him take control of the courtroom to represent me and I was proud to have him as my Attorney. He is a seasoned Attorney so don't let his youthful appearance fool you. Brian is considerate and has excellent rates that I could afford and he was understanding when I missed a payment and had to double up the next month. He never faltered in his representation of my case and I can't say enough positive things about my experiences as his client! I go to him now for all my legal questions and issues and I tell him that he's my Attorney for life! So, if you're looking for an affordable savvy Attorney then do yourself a favor like I did and call Attorney Brian Jacob Gilbert!

Premier Legal Representation and Consultation

Mr. Gilbert represented me on a couple of cases, in addition to having provided excellent consultation services and guidance on other legal matters. Specifically, Mr. Gilbert represented me on my divorce case which was incredibly complicated due to real estate. He worked diligently on my case consid...ering he was stepping into my case after my attorney suddenly passed away. With limited paperwork he swiftly took over and quickly established a positive rapport with the opposing counsel. I was very impressed with his work-ethic and effectiveness to negotiate on my behalf and ability to convey to judge my personal situation that resulted in several huge wins on my behalf!! He handled my case with great care and professionalism. Mr. Gilbert is a good listener. He explained everything to my in terms I could understand and was also responsive when I had questions outside of our meetings. Most importantly, he also was compassionate, understanding, considerate of my health, accommodating to my schedule and very patient, as English is not my first language. I'm grateful for Mr. Gilbert as his problem-solving skills, experience and knowledge of the law in this area and at court allowed me to keep my home and continue to focus on my health and live without all the stress from before. I am highly recommending Mr. Gilbert!!

Frustrating process, excellent counsel

I went through a divorce that wasn't easy. Brian took me through the process as expeditiously as was practical, and gave good advice throughout. I am happy that I retained him, and highly recommend him.
