BEST OF THE BEST

A few years ago I learned that I had an 8 year old son. What followed was a 4 year long battle for custody and visitation through multiple states. I was broken financially, mentally, and I was ready to call it quits. I was in court for a follow up hearing and while waiting I had the privilege of seei...ng Greg represent another one of his clients. I was so impressed that I was literally calling his office before I made it out of the courthouse parking lot. Greg owns the courtroom and he bleeds law. The day I retained Greg Gillett is the day my life changed. Greg was able to do in a few months what I could not accomplish with other lawyers in 4 years. To know him is to love him. Talking to Greg is like talking to one of your best friends. He's got a great sense of humor and is direct and to the point with a no-nonsense approach to legal matters. His advice is sound, he says what he means and means what he says. Most importantly he does what he says he is going to do. There are no guessing games with Greg - no surprises. You go into the courtroom 99% sure that you know how you're going to come out. Strategy is key, and that is Greg - a great strategist. I could go on and on, but it comes down to this - before you even think about hiring another lawyer call Greg Gillett. I was here reading reviews just like you. I had lists of names and phone numbers to lawyers, trying to keep track of who I had and hadn't called. Most never called back and the ones that did cared more about my wallet than the facts of my case. Don't waste your time like I did, just call Greg. Trust me, you don't want to step into a courtroom without representation and you want the best in your corner. This guy will change your life - swear to God. If you doubt me head on down to the Visalia courthouse and watch him work his magic in Dept. 13, you will not be disappointed. Greg, Katy & Ashley I can't thank you enough! You guys are awesome!

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
