2 years after my divorce in which I was represented by Tom, my income decreased significantly. I hired a large firm who told me that I could have my alimony changed, then they changed lawyers on me and the new lawyer told me I couldn't. I ended up unrepresented in court and the judge took everything I had left - my retirement funds - and allowed me to keep less than half of my income.
My GF ran into Tom and told him what was going on with me. Tom remembered my case - from 5 years ago at that point! He recalled wording in the divorce decree that allowed the alimony to be changed. We filed for alimony reduction and for custody of my son. We mediated my alimony from $5000 to $2200 AND I got custody of my son.
I have found Tom's billing practices to be more than fair. The large firms find some way to "review your case" and bill your credit card every month. With these firms the main lawyer advertises greatness, bills for greatness, and you get a lawyer just out of law school.
Tom knows the judges and what to expect from them. He knows the local lawyers. I would never use another lawyer for a family law issue.
TOM REMEMBERED DETAILS OF MY CASE AFTER 5 YEARS THAT THE LARGE FIRM "EMPLOYEE?" COULD NOT UNDERSTAND OR RESOLVE WITH THE CASE SITTING IN FRONT OF HER!
I had given up. Tom saved me by remembering details of my case 5 years after I was divorced. He is outstanding.
1. Every other weekend and Thursday time-sharing (no overnights).
2. Cellular breathalyzer blow before picking up my kinds and drop off.
3. Quarterly hair follicle tests.
4. Quarterly urinalysis.
5. $13,000 in child support back pay during time separated.
6. $1,650 regular child support (additional $300 added due to syntax and crafty language of divorce agreement).
In the end, I viewed Tom as a friend helping out instead of a hired attorney. Thank you Tom Gill for your fairness and hard work!
I selected THIS firm. My Associate
Attorney ,Jana Barnett, kept Me
Informed, from day one, through
completion. I knew I would be
billed for “EXTRAS, which was
Under $100; no gouging. I highly recommend JANA, and this firm.
All the employees work together
as a team, which a stressful
Situation tolerable.
His support staff I found to be extremely knowledgeable and a big part of the success and experience I had with Mr Gill's firm.
I would absolutely use his firm for any future work and would recommend him to others.
Jana was always quick to respond to any questions I had.
They made a tough process, even when amicable, very easy.
Also, his legal experience, knowledge and demeanor made me feel comfortable; which is important in negotiating and working with opposing counsel.
He also has a capable staff which benefits the client in managing costs. Dayna (his legal assistant) was always available to answer questions and do much of the needed work. She did an excellent job.
During the process, I always felt driven toward resolution, instead of a fight, and this is what was desired. Ultimately, this resulted in a satisfactory outcome that was affordable and expedient. I appreciated this approach, as it takes an attorney with integrity to do business this way.
I'm very appreciative of Tom and his team for doing the great job they did. I couldn't have been more satisfied with the outcome.
Tom, in reply to your response. Your are a vile human being. Where is the bill for the services you performed? You could never produce one. I was a single mother and you had no problem taking money when no services were performed. The highly regarded attorneys I consulted with on this matter advised me to file a small claims suit against you. You are the one that will have to answer to your disgusting acts.
Tom and Lisa Gill, with kudos to Jana their paralegal extraordinaire, each took personal interest in helping me, protecting my family. Provided sound legal advice and more importantly, demonstrated several times in our relationship the MEANS to SWIFTLY EXECUTE the legal transactions required for MY protection.
There were a couple of bumps in the road, but "keeping your eye on the prize" mindset is always good advice. With the bumps, came EXTRAORDINARY SERVICE AND COMMITMENT by their team to resolve and protect me, to protect my interests.
Thank you for all your help!
