This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

The Best Around!

If you want THE BEST attorney to deal with a family law issue, John should be your first and only choice. We had a mess on our hands and John was able to sort through it and stay with us through the entire case. I felt reassured every time a hearing was scheduled to have John representing us. He is a...n expert at navigating through the DCS system and with custody issues.

John is one of God greatest gift to us

John Gilmore is an excellent Lawyer he is not only knowledge but also empathetic. He knows the law and his tenacious personalty gets the job done. We had John Gilmore for one of our foster children a couple years ago and were very impressed with him has a lawyer and a man.So when my husband was fals...ely accused John took our case against my husband of sexual molestation of one of our foster children. He connected us with another professional together they build the case . Department of Economic Security then vacated the hearing.

Excellent Lawyer

John represented us in a custody case involving our granddaughter. John showed up to all our hearings, and there was a lot of them, on time and prepared. He represented us as grandparents, as we were dragged into the custody battle and needed representation. John took very good care of us and kept al...l slanderous remarks in check. John was a very caring lawyer and kept us up to date on all motions. He worked well with our son's attorney, Child Protective Services and our granddaughter's attorney. We felt that John did a great job keeping us in contact with our granddaughter.

Great Lawyer

We live in Pa and hired John to help with trying to gain custody of our Grandchildren. From the very beginning, we felt like we had known him forever and he treated us like friends not just clients. The odds were stacked against us from the beginning, but John gave us a fighting chance. He gave us... access to records that we could not have seen any other way. Although the decision did not go in our favor, we feel that John did his very best. We are very greatful for the doors he opened for us to be involved in our Grandchildrens lives. We would highly recommend John in any type of child custody case.

Excellent Representation

Mr Gilmore has represented us in two cases through foster care to our adoption. We respected his representation to the extent that we hired him personally in another matter. Although the outcome was not what we hoped for, Mr Gilmore's representation of us in this matter was excellent. He maintained o...pen communication, worked around our schedule, and kept us informed of any additional options that we had.
