Edward Albert Gilkerson

Mr. Gilkerson handled my divorce in Jefferson County. It was very quick and he made sure that I was aware of what was going on at all times. Very thorough and efficient.

I was very lucky to have such a great attorney like Ed Gilkerson on my side. I was in a financial dispute with someone in St. Louis, MO and I was in NJ. Mr. Gilkerson was able to win my confidence and apprise me of all the happenings in St. Louis through phone/email communications very effectively. Not only did I feel safe with retaining Ed from so far away, I felt as if I was in a comptetitive advantage against the person with whom I had the dispute because my attorney was so well prepared and knowlegable of the local court system. I would recommend Ed to anyone who would need an attorney to handle their financial disputes.

Ed, came by high recommendation of one of his past colleagues, to help me establish a solid estate plan for my growing family. His approach was very simple and communication effective in translating legal impacts of the planning process to best meet my personal needs. I'd highly recommend for anyone else who is considering needs to ensure their assets have a long range plan intact. Ed, was also very flexible in helping me get this done in the midst of a hectic work schedule...he made himself available as needed to maintain good forward progress to completion.

Ed handled my initial divorce, and a few years later, handled my case again when there was an attempt to modify the custody and support settlement. Through the course of three pre-trial conferences, he kept me informed and gave excellent counsel. At the end of the third conference, we attempted to make a settlement offer, which was denied. We ended up going to trial. I wasn't all that excited it went so far, though that was due to the other involved party and not Ed. When we got to court, Ed was extremely prepared. We had so much information available for the judge to review, significantly moreso than the other party. And when it came to questioning the involved parties, I felt Ed did an excellent job of getting to the point, asking the most important and relevant questions. The judge found completely in our favor, and I know that had everything to do with how well prepared Ed was, and how he presented all the information in court. I would highly recommend Ed.

Ed took over as my divorce attorney when I was not happy with my previous one. He immediately knew what had to be done. I was so confused with divorce laws, it's proceedings, the language and Ed Gilkerson was attentive and put me at ease with his ability to explain in terms for me to understand. Ed is very knowledgeable about the whole divorce process, it's laws and it's intricacies. He was always responsive to any of my questions throughout my divorce and I felt like I could trust him with my best interest.
