Great Job with my Divorce

Lance was very upfront and clear on how the divorce that my wife filed for would work. He informed me of the options we had to avoid a nasty long and drawn out court case. He was very candid with me and made sure that I understood each step and the timing of each. He took the time to make sure I w...as clear on his expectations of what I needed to do and he made sure that he understood my expectations of him. We had very good discussions about options and each time a new twist came up he made sure that I understood what my options were. While divorce can be an ugly thing, Lance was able to help make mine fairly easy and not as crazy stressful as it could have been. Lance was upfront about his costs and some of the other costs associated with a divorce. His price is very reasonable considering what others charge. I don't think paying more would have paid for a better result. Highly recommended.

Excellent option local to me

Lance has handled several large cases for me including a family members divorce and an 18k lawsuit. He is very diligent in collecting documents and reviewing information to arrive at the best strategy. He is realistic in what can be achieved and doesn't aim for pie in the sky objectives simply to... run up the bill. I have also used him for several evictions and a few real estate transactions and found his services to be priced well and very well handled. I recommend attorney Gill to all of my friends.

The Only Lawyer I Would Retain!

I cannot say enough about Lance D. Gill. He greatly exceeded my expectations. Lance handled my parents' estate, which also included property and accounts in another country. Lance was extremely prompt, reliable, and answered all of my questions. His rates are quite a bit lower than elsewhere. La...nce also prepared deeds for our home in a very short period of time. I wouldn't want to go anywhere else for a lawyer.

Has handled hundreds of transactions for us

Lance has been our attorney for over ten years and has handled hundreds of transactions. We don't always agree with him BUT he AWAYS has our best interest in mind. Therefore, he has protected us sometimes from ourselves. He has the utmost integrity and his high morals and standards assures us of t...he best representation one could ask for. The true ethical approach and due diligence in his nature makes him a successful attorney. We feel very fortunate to have Lance as our attorney.

Fine for real estate closings but not for divorce

As a seasoned real estate broker I have dealt with Lance Gill for many years and sent him most of my my real estate closings; he follows through and is knowledgeable. However, when I retained him to handle my divorce he quoted an upfront flat fee and bailed out when the going got tough. Prior to ac...cepting me as a divorce client he had all the legal documents to review and he personally knew how my spouse's attorney operates, so he fully knew the game before offering his services. Once the opposing attorney started taking up his time he chose to withdraw from the case, and left me with a Motion to Withdraw - available on public record for all to see - whose language implies that I was the problem. I asked him to re-write it to state the real problems as reflecting his current health issues and frustration in dealing with the opposing attorney, which he had repeatedly stated in emails to me, but he refused. He did refund my fees. I would recommend him for procedural matters, but not as a fighter who plans to win, as he gave up as soon as the heat of battle commenced.

Replied last March 17, 2015

Pursuant to my ethical requirements, I withdrew from representing this client because he refused to follow my advice. At every turn in the process, he objected to or refused to participate in well expected matters. For example, when it came to routine discovery requests made by opposing counsel, this client responded that he would not provide the requested documents. This was only one exemple of this client's desire to stonewall the process. He also wanted to engage in endless irrelevant confrontation to no end. This is supported by the fact that opposing counsel filed a motion to compel against this client, who eventually had to provide the discovery requested. It is untrue that I withdrew because the work load was more than expected or because I was unaware of his wife's attorney's tactics as suggested by this client. Opposing counsel did nothing more than any other attorney would have or should have done in representing her client. To suggest that I was the problem in this case flies in the face of the facts. If one reviews the docket for this case, one would see that this client hired another well-seasoned attorney (after my withdrawal) who also withdrew from representing him. This client, per the docket, has now hired his third attorney. Since two divorce attorneys with over 25 years of experience (myself being one) withdrew from representing this client, it is clear that the problem was the client and not the attorneys he hired. I can say when I did work with this individual as a real estate broker he was just as unreasonable and difficult to work with as he was when I tried to represent him in his divorce case. This client's narrative of the situation that led me to withdraw is false. The main problem with this client in all matters is that he believes he is more intelligent than the professionals he hires to represent him. He believes he can simply dictate to everyone including the court what he will and will not do. As the case docket indicates, he learned his lesson very well. I had no choice but to withdraw from representing this client for the reasons contained in my motion to withdraw and as stated above.
