Mr. Gillespie was recommended to me by a friend who had used his representation in the past. My first interaction with him was when I called collect from jail and he answered, not knowing any other information other than my location and my name. He never promised me anything, other than to fight like hell, and obviously that’s what he did. My offer was 24 months prison being as though I had shown that I couldn’t handle being in the real world with four violations of probation. Mr. Gillespie not only did a remarkable job of getting me out of jail, he did it with a 4 month jail offer that I had already served, and he did it over Christmas. while waiting for the Public Defender’s office to even to come talk about the facts of my case, I sat 2 months not knowing a thing. Within 3 days of hiring him, he was at the jail face to face talking to me, reassuring me that I was not going to prison, even though I was told that if I were to see that same judge, that I would be up the road before I could blink. I would NEVER use the services of another lawyer. John won’t promise you anything, but let his track record speak for itself. He’s a selfless individual who cares about every person he encounters.
