"I have worked with Gillian on various matters, but most often in elder law, for about 3 years, since she joined our firm. Gillian understands the complexities of elder law, applies herself diligently, and above all, listens carefully and responds to our clients' needs. I enjoy working with her and recommend her in this and all her subject areas."
"Gillian is compassionate, committed and hard working. I strongly recommend her for your legal needs."
"I would not hesitate to recommend Gillian for any matter relating to elder law, including estate planning; estate probate and administration; and long-term care."
"Gillian is an excellent attorney whether your matter is related to estate planning, divorce and separation, elder law, probate or something else. She is intelligent, knowledgeable and diligent. Gillian is my first recommendation for legal representation in the Capitol Region and beyond."
