Review Gilbert Feibleman

I Got The Best The Judge Recommended

Posted by

I have been a trial lawyer for more than 40 years, and as a result, I've become familiar with various skills, tactics, ethics and competency of the best and the worst. I don't do family law and when I needed the best divorce lawyer I could find, I asked a judge who the judge thought was the best lawyer who regularly appeared before the judge. Gil Fiebleman was recommended and I can only extend my thanks and appreciation to that judge for the judge's insight and awareness of which lawyer was the most competent and knowledgeable with reference to the difficult issues that present themselves in what became a very acrimonious dissolution. Without reservation, I highly recommend Gil to any person in need of representation during what will become a very emotional and difficult experience. There are a ton of lawyers who say they are divorce advocates. As a lawyer who knows lawyers, Gil is as good as anyone could hope for. Just hope you get to Gil before your spouse does. You will be grateful and relieved in the end. Good luck.

Gil Feibleman is a top notch class act attorney!

Posted by

Mr. Feibleman exceeded my expectations as an attorney. In every situation throughout my divorce, Gil and his staff helped me through the process and gave me excellent advice. I felt well prepared going through a parenting time study/custody evaluation and ultimately to trial. From the beginning, I feel Gil worked diligently and put in place legal documents that protected me and my children from my husband and his unscrupulous lawyer. Gil's reputation of being one of the "Best Lawyers in America" became even more evident at trial. His professionalism before the Judge and his preperation for trial was brilliant. He is clearly deserving of his fine reputation and I am very pleased with the outcome of my divorce settlement!

Gil Feibleman was a blessing to me at a difficult time in my life. My situation was a tough one and the likelihood of a satisfactory resolution seemed near impossible. He remained professional throughout the entire process. Gil has a lot of experience with divorce cases and is very intelligent with his thought process. His strategies were very forward-thinking, and he was always straight forward with me with the good and the bad. His assistant Rita is amazing and a great asset to the team! She's professional, organized and has a very kind calm demeanor about her! Not only did I get my needs met with the divorce, but he helped me sustain my family and business. Everyone knows that divorce is expensive, but if you hire the right attorney it will save you tons in the end! My family, business and I are so grateful to him and I would recommend him and his team without reservation.

Knowledge is Power

Posted by

Gil, was very professional and has excellent knowledge into the legal system and key individuals that make a difference. This was a great asset during the entire process. When I hired Gil, he was straight forward (tough) and let me know what he expected from me as a client as well as what I should expect from him and his team. Gil came highly recommended from my lawyer in Atlanta Ga. Randy Kessler. Gil was excellent in helping me through the negotiation stages of the process. He was very good with numbers and ensured we were well positioned to ensure we met our goals and objectives. I would recommend Gil and his team to friends and family.

Fixed my divorce mess!

Posted by

Mr Feibleman helped clean up the mess I had with my divorce 17 yrs ago. The mess was partly my own doing and some bad representation. Mr Feibleman was honest and direct with what we could do. This was not always what I wanted to hear, but what I needed to know. The results were much better than we expected! Thank you!

Ethical, Conscientious, Strategic, and Compassionate

Posted by

I hired Mr. Feibleman and his outstanding assistant Rita Smith to represent me in my divorce, and am quite satisfied with the results. Rita was brilliant at managing a virtual mountain of documentation and organizing it into cogent support of my position. Gil has a sharp wit and SO much knowledge and experience that he was able to help me appreciate the long-term impact of various negotiation strategies. Gil listened to my objectives and provided an honest assessment of what was achievable and what was not. This was not always easy to hear, but it was always helpful. Communication was clear and prompt throughout the process. Billing statements were detailed and accurately reflected the work product. Most importantly, my interests were well-represented. Gil and Rita guided me through this very difficult and emotional process with skill and humor, sensitivity and honesty. For that I will be forever grateful. Gil Feibleman and Rita Smith are an outstanding team.

Superb attorney

Posted by

Gil is one of 7 attorneys I have hired for divorce proceedings. 5 have been more interested in their fees rather than results. Gil has been a complete professional: meticulous, detail-oriented; results-oriented, knowledgeable and experienced and of course caring. He gets the job done when most others will tell you it can't be done. He has pride of ownership in the quality of his work, something that should be natural for a professional but unfortunately appears to be rare in this profession. I cannot recommend him any higher.

Divorce attorney

Posted by

when my wife filed for divorce, I reviewed several law firms looking for a good divorce attorney. I hired Gil because of his credentials and expertise in asset division, including pensions. I was rewarded by very professional, and competent representation. Gil represented me very well, and in fact, had to do most of the work for both sides since my wife and her counsel were unresponsive to discovery requests, settlement offers, and other communications. This should have been a straightforward divorce, but it dragged on because of this lack of response. Gil finally requested a settlement conference, which brought matters to a close. I highly recommend Gil and his law firm to anyone looking for able, professional representation. Gil and his law office are approachable and very competent. Gil made sure assets were distributed equitably, and did all the drafting and filing to divide our pensions.

Gil exemplifies what it means to be a master at your craft. He is masterful in the courtroom during trial, and a consummate professional out of it. He has a tremendous body of experience to draw from, and I have used Gil as a resource for information or to bounce ideas off of on numerous occasions. In our field he is as highly respected as they come, and deservedly so.
