Gill is a top-notch attorney with deep knowledge in the defamation area as well as general business matters. I've worked with him on several mutual clients and always been impressed not only with his expertise and but his practical approach. I highly recommend him.

I hired Gill as local counsel on a contract dispute matter for a client. He was extremely detailed and knowledgeable and overall wonderful to work with. I give Gill my highest recommendation and will be happy to work with him on future matters.

Conscientious, bright and effective. Not sure what else you'd want in an attorney. I have no hesitation recommending Gill to any person or business in need of a talented IP attorney.

I've known Gill for the better part of a decade. We have been opposing counsels and co-counsels, and in both events he was strong, smart, and a pleasure to work with. I would recommend him without reservation.
