Reviews for Gillis
Have you consulted or hired this lawyer?
Leave a review about your experience with this lawyer.Made the entire office available to my wife and I and treated us with dignity and respect. The team gave us advice and options letting us make the decisions. They had respect for our decisions with no pressure. Amazing team. No regrets.
My son was charged with felonies based on contrived accusations by a spurned ex-girlfriend. This was a nightmare scenario for our close-knit family! Mr Powell was highly recommended to us by a dear friend. From the moment we met with Mr Powell, he was very professional and reassuring! He and his wonderful team took a very proactive and meticulous approach to the case, and we felt that they really cared. Due to their efforts, our son was exonerated of all charges! We are forever grateful!!
As a person who is familiar with the criminal and civil justice system of Louisiana I found myself having to assist a family member who was arrested in Florida. Needless to say I did not know where to turn. I found Gill by way of a referral. Gill was able to handle the case with a successful result. Also, it didn't take numerous long distance commutes and meetings. More importantly, though, he did it so that my family member can put this event behind him and move on to a productive life.
Gillis is one great individual
The best Attorney I have ever dealt with. I always use Gillis E. Powell, Jr for any legal matters my business or family needs. He has the utmost ethical standards of any lawyer I know. His number one priority is to serve his client's needs.
Extremely knowledgable , honorable individual that provides services that exceed all expectations.
He was able to collect debts for me after two other local attorneys failed. He is responsible for the safety of two of our grandchildren on our daughters side from a bad marriage. He has literally saved the life of our grandson, (our son's son) by getting him out of a drug infested home. To say thank you is not enough. Mr. Powell has been a God send to our family.
Gillis Powell and his firm made everything that I have been through easier to deal with. They always kept me informed on what was going on. I didn't have to stress or worry about a thing. They were very knowledgeable in all aspects, and they knew how to explain things to me in a way I could understand it. I would recommend Gillis Powell as a lawyer to anyone. You won't be disappointed!
Mr. Powell and his staff assisted me at time that I was in dire need.
He is highly knowledgeable in everything he does and most important, he is a very compassionate attorney. Very rare do you find someone with such qualities. Even though I have relocated out of state, I would still seek legal advice from Mr. Powell. I have and will continue recommending Mr. Powell to anyone needing legal assistance.
Mr. Powell represented me in a child custody case on 12/27/11. If Mr. Powell only did half as much as he did on my case i would of been very impressed. Mr. Powell well understood the importance of my case,and was concerned as a father himself. Mr. Powell fought like a rabid dog for me in court. I do not believe he would of done it any different had he of been fighting for custody of his own son.if you have a case you want to win,there are a lot of options.If you HAVE to win call Mr. Powell.
