James F. Gillen, Jr. has helped numerous clients achieve their desired legal outcomes. Prior to becoming a lawyer, he practiced as a Registered Nurse for several years at most of the local Hospitals in the San Antonio area as well as serving in the United State Marine Corps. During his nursing career he developed good instincts and a deep understanding of human nature which assists him greatly in his legal practice. During his tenure as an attorney, he has developed a network of attorneys that can assist individuals in almost every area of the law. Mr. Gillen currently is a member of the San Antonio Bar Association, Texas Trial Lawyers Association, San Antonio Trial Lawyers Association as well a District Courts Committee member. Furthermore, Mr. Gillen as well as the attorneys associated with his firm focus on four areas with regard to client relations:

 

• Confidence: We want you to have confidence knowing that an aggressive, knowledgeable, and experienced San Antonio lawyer is speaking for you and fighting for your rights.
• Personal Attention: We want you to know that your case is important to us because a licensed San Antonio lawyer will be personally handling your case, not a paralegal or secretary.  We will never keep you in the dark and we will always be available for questions.  We pride ourselves on great communication with our clients.
• Understanding: We understand that no two cases are alike and every client’s case is unique with its own facts. As such, we will listen and answer all of your questions, discuss your options, and guide you through your case.  You can depend on us to get you through this very difficult time in your life with both compassion as well as understanding.
• Immediate Assistance: We believe that all cases need to be handled with expedience. In criminal cases a great defense is an early defense and the same can be said in many areas of the law.  Memories fade, evidence is lost, and witnesses disappear, therefore, time can be your enemy in many cases.  We don’t want this to happen to your case and work hard to move your case to a desirable conclusion.
