Excellent to date. We have a complicated and ongoing Civil Liberties case with national and international implications. Gill has provided good advice and creative ideas.

Gill is my go-to guy for contracts, waivers, business filings, etc.; he helped me take my expanding hobby and turn it into a properly set up LLC. I originally hired him because of his industry-specific expertise, but he's now my first stop for any legal question.

Compassionate Yet Tough
I have a blog that is critical of an anti-science organization. When that well-funded organization sued me for trade name infringement and defamation to shut down my site, I could not afford to fight back. Mr. Sperlein and another attorney came to my aid to protect my First Amendment rights. Thanks to Mr. Sperlein that case was dismissed by the 5th Circuit Court. But it did not end there. The anti-science organization appealed and Mr. Sperlein fought on and soon the appeal was dismissed as well. If not for Mr. Spelein I would have had to give up not only my website, but also my Free Speech rights.
