Here's what some of Attorney Gillis' clients have to say about her legal services:

Tom and Nancy C. say that “Jean is both friendly and knowledgeable. However, what we liked best is her willingness to take extra time to explain our plan and answer our questions. Our estate plan is both complete and understood by Nancy and me, reducing both worry and uncertainty. Jean takes a more personal approach and strives to know us and our needs—the service we received was excellent!”

Carol K. says that Jean’s greatest strength is “the amount of time spent understanding my needs and explaining the documents.”

Tom and Angela L. “felt very comfortable with Jean and felt she always had our best interest at heart.”

Kenneth and Vanessa W. say that “Jean is a people person and very responsive to our needs. She promptly returned our phone calls. When she said she’s going to do something, she follows through.”

Ric and Terry E. had three words to say for why they chose Jean as their family’s lawyer: “Thoroughness. Patience. Location.”

Lisa and Joe D. felt comforted when Jean “walked us through the process step-by-step. We were very pleased and would recommend your services!”

Toby and Liz T. appreciated that Jean provided “friendly service” and was “very thorough, knowledgeable and flexible, especially with children.”

Teresa T. remarked on the “ease and convenience of the entire experience” with Jean and that she “trusts her expertise and knowledge.” Teresa also says that “Jean is very organized and the worksheet she provided made the process much easier than expected. Jean explained everything in terms I could understand, conveyed to me the benefit of a living trust and got it accomplished for me.”

Jeremy and Katie C. said that their experience with Jean had them feeling “as if we were assisted and helped without just paying for a service. Jean does a wonderful job of laying out options and providing detailed information in a very concise manner. She is very responsive and even more willing to help answer questions and offer guidance.”
