John C Gilmore Jr

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 Gilmore, Jr was highly recommended to me by two separate contacts as the best family law and child dependency lawyer in town. After retaining him for for my case, I could not agree more! In my first meeting with Mr. Gilmore he patiently outlined the child dependency process to me, explained t...he options available to me, and shared his thoughts based on his years of experience. This was all very new to me but I felt I was in good hands. During my case there were many appearances in court. Mr. Gilmore was always thoroughly prepared for court and took the time to explain to me the purpose of the hearings and the possible outcomes. He was respectful to all parties involved at all times, both in and out of the court room. He was trustworthy and displayed the highest level of integrity. As my case progressed Mr. Gilmore promptly communicated updates and developments to me. He counseled me as to when he and I did or did not need to appear in court. He clearly explained the various documents and hearings and provided his recommendations. He answered my questions and was efficient in his use of time spent on my case between email, telephone, and in-person meetings. I never felt rushed or that my time was under used, and he was always available and responsive. Mr. Gilmore was also resourceful and assisted me in finding training classes and other support systems offered through the court system and the community. These were really quite helpful and worth my time. It is apparent that Mr. Gilmore is quite knowledgeable of the dependency process and the juvenile court system. When I first met Mr. Gilmore I had no idea what to expect in the upcoming eighteen months. It was an emotional journey for me that ended favorably for myself and my family. I feel that Mr. Gilmore's extensive talents, professional demeanor, and many years of experience contributed to this positive outcome. I would, without hesitation, recommend Mr. Gilmore as the finest child abuse lawyer in Tucson.

Mr. Gilmore represented us in a placement review hearing. It was a highly complex case that involved numerous witnesses. This was a difficult time and he proved to be highly compassionate as he patiently explained the legal process, answering all questions with a great deal of legal knowledge. Du...ring the trial, Mr. Gilmore proved to be well-prepared and a highly skilled advocate for our position. Ultimately, our position was supported by the Court and we were very satisfied with the legal services Mr. Gilmore provided.

We found John after having issues with a Dependency case. He came HIGHLY recommended by his peers and came thru for us. After a long battle trying to do the right thing and represent ourselves to no avail, John Gillmore was not only thorough,knowledgable VERY responsive to our needs and the best inte...rest of the child involved. We are VERY pleased with his handling of this case and would recommend him to others in need.

John Gilmore was appointed to me in a dependancy case through CPS. He was not detail oriented in his preparation or completion in my case. The final draft of the court order was reviewed and approved by him and sent to me. This order said "Petitioner and Respondent agree to act as joint legal custodi...ans" which is a glaring inconsistency with the agreed mediation agreement. I had to bring this to his attention so it could be corrected to read, "sole legal custody is placed with the father". If this wasn't brought to his attention I believe it would have caused my son and myself a lot of headaches in the future. There is also an issue with the way in which the order was written. My son and I need to have the ability to use Juvenile Supervision Program (JSP) so that his mother can be granted the visitation she was awarded in the mediation agreement and in the court order. This was not written to the satisfaction of JSP and makes it impossible for my son and I to use the services of JSP. I brought this to John Gilmore's attention and he was unaffected by this information. He did not offer any assistance to fix this order. This makes it impossible for my son to see his mother for the court appointed visitation she was granted. This lack of attention to detail and poor client concern should be known to potential future clients of John Gilmore.
