What once felt like an insurmountable battle has come to a truly positive resolution after more than a year of hard work and dedication from Robert and his team. Throughout every twist and turn of my case, Robert Gilliland demonstrated outstanding legal prowess, persistence, and unwavering commitme...

Mr Gilliland was a true dynamic fireball in court. I hired him for a case of a crazy over the top veterinarian accusing me of stalking her. She lied in court and online about my moral character and tried to shutdown my business. Robert calmly and with 100% professionalism took her and her attorney to...

I highly recommend **Robert Jordan Gilliland Jr., Attorney**, and confidently refer my real estate clients to him. As a Real Estate Broker, it is essential for me to work with professionals who are knowledgeable, responsive, and truly advocate for their clients—and Robert consistently delivers on all...

After 4 years, $250,000 in legal fees, Robert Gilliland “fired” us as clients 90 days before trial. He has a reputation of being reluctant/afraid to go to trial. Our replacement attorney (Andrew Prout, Esq. - highly recommend) settled the case within 6 weeks for almost double anything Gilliland was...
I respectfully disagree with the statements in this review. I withdrew from this matter in accordance with my ethical obligations and the California Rules of Professional Conduct. I have handled hundreds of cases successfully through mediation, arbitration and trial. I fired this client only after irreconcilable differences arose due to her repeated refusal to follow my firm’s legal advice and her failure to timely resolve and pay outstanding invoices. Any suggestion that my conduct was unethical, that I have a disciplinary history, or that I avoid trial is totally false and delustional by this former client. I have practiced law for more than 35 years, am a former Bar President, maintain an AV rating, selected yearly as a “Super Lawyer” by LA Magazine and “Top Lawyer” by Palm Springs Life Magazine, and have never been disciplined by the State Bar or received any such type of Complaint. I fully prepared this former client’s case for trial and cooperated completely with successor counsel to ensure a smooth transition which later resulted in the settlement. The matter ultimately resolved within the precise and exact valuation I had advised the former client from the outset. Sadly, I fired this client because the former client and resident of Minnesota, acted completely irrationale and was extremely difficult to deal with throughout my firm's representation of her. I take my professional responsibilities seriously and stand by my record of principled, diligent representation.
