Client Endorsements

“I hired Michelle Abbott, an attorney with Gilles Law PLLC, for a domestic legal issue that proved to be more than difficult due to the other party being in different state. Ms. Abbott’s communication with me and determination to bring this issue to a close was impressive, even with all the roadblocks we encountered. Her persistence and knowledge of all the different ways to resolve this issue were endless and she never gave up. I felt as though I was her only client even though I know that was not the case! I highly recommend Ms. Abbott and this practice to anyone trying to settle a legal issue of their own. Thank you to everyone at Gilles Law!”
