Case dismissed!

I came to Jill Gately in an interesting situation and she got all charges against me dropped. For six plus years I had a warrant out for my arrest in Boston area for DUI, two counts of malicious destruction of property, and disturbing the peace. The twist was that I had been living on the west coast ...for years and had no plans to return to Boston. Jill and I had multiple phone calls about the situation. She got the legal paperwork in motion and I flew out to Boston one time to post bail and get my license reinstated. While we were at the courthouse posting bail, I could tell she was very connected there. She got my bail amount reduced by a couple hundred dollars and pulled some other strings that really helped me out. She spent the rest of the day driving me around to the RMV and other places I had to go to get my license back. She really went above and beyond what any other lawyer would have done. She was committed to helping me beat the case, and get my license back! They set a court date and I was going to have to fly back out to Boston a second time to appear in front of a jury. Jill called me the day before I was to leave, she spoke to one of the judges about my case, and the judge threw the case out. All charges were dropped! I now am driving again and free of the legal system thanks to Jill Gately!

Great choice

A few years ago, I got into some legal trouble due to a B&E incident. My decision to have Jill Gately represent me proved to be an excellent choice. She was knowledgable and understanding, and she really took the time to understand and thoroughly represent my case. I would strongly recommend her to a...nyone else seeking professional and successful legal representation.

Thank You for helping our family

Jill came into our life when our son (age 19) got into a bit of trouble. He was at a house party that got broken up by the police and was held responsible for all of the marajuana and paraphernalia that was in the house. Things were a bit scary as the quantity was just above the max allowed for a c...ivil charge so they were also charging him with distribution. Jill explained the situation to us, not holding back any of the details and told us how things were going to unfold. None of us had ever been through the legal system before so it was a bit of an eye opener. In the end, she was able to get all of the charges dropped (the ADA wasn't to happy) and we were able to move on with our lives. As you go through these types of situations, especially with your children, you need to find someone that you can have confidence in. On occasion, good kids do stupid things. It was nice to have someone that we could trust to look after our best interest and speak with confidence on our behalf. If you find yourself in a situation where you're looking for a lawyer that you can rely on, I would not hesitate to recommend Jill Gately

Jill Gately is an outstanding lawyer!

Jill did an outstanding job on a criminal case (larceny). She responded immediately when called on a Sunday and went right to work. Jill immediately inspired our confidence in her knowledge and abilities. She was always responsive in a timely manner and worked hard to ensure the best outcome possibl...e. Jill is very open and honest and fights for her clients. She is well respected in the courtroom and knows how to get things done. Her fees are disclosed upfront and reasonable. I highly recommend her, am extremely grateful that we found her, and would go to her again if needed.
