WILL NOT RECOMMEND TO ANYONE...
Presented herself as caring, compassionate, and dedicated. I hired her 3 yrs ago for my divorce case. Mistake! My ratings: Filed my documents in a binder= A ( too many requested documents from me that she never reviewed- just filed. ) ; Knowledgable about my case= C; Defended me during face to face ...
Laura Gillis
Replied last June 18, 2018Unfortunately I do not who wrote this review. However, most attorneys file their documents into a client binder and I do review all documents received. Often times I receive documents that do not have legal relevance or are not beneficial to the case. Additionally, sometimes my clients want to take positions that are not supported by the law or the facts of the case. Attorneys are more than a mouthpiece for their clients. We are also legal advisors and sometimes that means advising our clients to take positions that are not consistent with their objectives. I absolutely do not side with the other side..... but I will certainly guide my clients so that they maintain positions that are reasonable and expectations that are attainable. A clients reputation in court is critical and if a client pursues positions that are not supported by the law or facts, they will often have to pay the other sides attorney fees. I have only had one client that I represented get hit with attorney fees and that was because this client would not take my legal advice. I will always tell my clients the truth, even when I know it will be hard to hear. That is my job.

stay away
I just left the law office of Laura Gillis and I'm still furious. Until the moment I paid her she seemed organized and professional, but since the check cleared, she has been totally uncommunicative. When I finally called and told her secretary how angry I was at her behavior, she emailed back accusi...

Custody / Child Support
I would recommend Laura Gillis as a Lawyer. She is very knowledgeable and trust-worthy. I also think she is very compassionate about what she does. Laura also takes the time to discuss issues and concerns even when she is out of the office. She's the best!
