Professional and timely resolution

I initially hired Elizabeth Gillis to resolve an issue with a real estate transaction, which she did in short order. I then used her to update my trust. She suggested constructive changes that my previous attorney overlooked. The updated version was presented in the form of a notebook with an index ...that made it very easy to locate the relevant documents. I trust her, I enjoyed working with her, she is wise and a brilliant attorney. Both experiences were surprisingly reasonably priced.

Trustee

I retained Elizabeth to Administer my Fathers' trust, which was in excess of $5million. Not only did she communicate well with the beneficiaries she executed the terms of the trust to the satisfaction of all beneficiaries I would highly recommend this attorney. She saved me time , and money

Just a regular Guy

I hired her to help me with a contract and she ended up fixing the mess I was in and also setting up my small business - termites! my wife and I had her do a trust and now we sleep knowing that our children are protected. Anyone who leaves their kids in a hot car or without a trust - well, it's on ...you. HIRE ELIZABETH

Don't Make the Same Mistake We Did!

Attorney Elizabeth (Betsy) Gillis required we pay her fees up front and then she used high pressure bait and switch tactics to try and increase her earnings. We had agreed on $2,000.00 to update an existing Living Trust documents with minor changes and within a week she wanted an additional $4,000.00... to prepare Living Trusts for the two beneficiaries. Ms. Gillis also insisted on knowing the value of the client's assets and she stated the client can afford to pay the additional fees. We told Ms. Gillis that we just wanted to update the existing documents as requested. Ms. Gillis completely changed her demeanor and became extremely argumentative and uncooperative. She then began a long and slow process of one delay after another avoiding the timeframe promised and disregarding the health needs of the client. After weeks of trying to get her to cooperate and return our communications the documents had numerous grammar errors and inaccuracies that required several additional drafts. After she did not get the additional funds she wanted, Ms. Gillis fought us through every step of the process. It was a frustrating and miserable experience! We would never recommend or use Elizabeth Gillis legal services again.
