Elizabeth A. Gillis

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.
