Posted by anonymous | October 10, 2019 | Hired Attorney | Child Custody

child custody

At first she was great! She eventually started not answering our calls or following up on submitting or filing court documents. I lost my children to my ex. The only time we would get a response was when she wanted more money. She even credited one of our payments to another client and emailed u...s asking for the money. I had my receipt from her law firm as well as my credit card statement. Another incident where I felt she dropped the ball, I was not notified that we had a court date and since I did not appear custody was awarded to my ex. Because of her not communicating with me, we lost and the ex won. She has poor communication skills, We were always the one initiating a meeting to get updated status of our case. When we did meet she gave us good encouraging speeches but never came thru on her end.

Worst lawyer ever

No communication unless she wanted money. Case was awarded to the plaintiff because Ms. Gilmet did not notify me of a court date and she did not represent me either. In another case, she rescheduled my court date multiple times at the last minute. The divorce was granted by the judge, but Ms. Gilm...et filed the paperwork wrong and the case was dismissed (no divorce). Cost me thousands that I will never get back. And what she put me and my family through is despicable. I don't know how she sleeps at night. Had to spend even more money to hire a reputable lawyer to finalize my divorce.

Fights like hell, very smart, and very good!

Hiring Yexenia was a decision I am glad I made. She is very professional, knowledgeable, and works very hard for her clients. She responds quickly, she knows the law, and kept me informed regularly on the state of the case. Furthermore, she gave me outstanding advice on moving forward with life po...st-trial. I feel like I wasn't just another client being run through the system. If you want a lawyer that will protect you and look after you, pick her.

Very Knowledgeable

My name is Isidro and this my testimonial regarding the attention that I received on behalf of the Law Office of Gilmet & Law. I want to thank the law office for the attention and very specific and tailored services provided to me by Ms. Yexenia Gilmet and Ms. Victoria Law. Their guidance, every st...ep of the way, allowed me to gain full custody of my daughter. My testimonial is short but there are no words that can describe the quality of service provided at this law firm.
