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.

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.

Represented 2 beautiful little girls

I was from out of state and John Gilmore was recommended to me by a friend in Az. I still talk about John a lot to my friends and how much he helped to save my 2 grandaughters. Because of John, my grandaughters are healthy, happy and safe forever. I will be forever grateful in his fight to bring t...hese children home to grandparents that loved them more than anything in the world. John always answered all my phone calls and e-mails immediately. Kept me informed on everything from beginning to end. If it were not for John Gilmore I really don't know what I would have done. Our family had never been involved in any child abuse case in our family. I met him under very difficult circumstances and he made me comfortable from that first meeting up to our last when we brought the girls home. He also has a wonderful assistant that I talked to many times when John was in court. I thank John for everything he did to make our family happy again and complete.

Responsive & Professional

John was a saving grace. We were out of state clients and needed representation local in Tuscon to get custody of a child. We tried battling the system on our own for months even tried finding an attorney on our own and were disappoint twice to hear from these attorney's that we didn't have a case.... So frustrated that we weren't making progress we contacted a family member who is a lawyer who contacted some law school associates in Arizona and John was one of two that came highly recommended. My husband and I decided to go with whomever called back first. John called the same day. He was instantly comforting, thought we had a case, sympathetic and didn't promise anything but to plead our position. Within a month of contacting him, John had a hearing set. Five months later we have the child in our care and are proceeding with adoption. Now I know not everyone's case can have a happy ending such as ours, but John will try his best to support you, stay within the law and fight for what's in the best interest. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts John.
