This is the worst representation from an attorney never return calls. His secretary is is rude and I feel she never gives the right information. I called twice a week never got phone calls. Returned from him. Spoke with Christina his paralegal as she’s just as bad never met Gillette in person. The only time we spoke to him was when we contacted him to represent us and that was a big mistake. All he did was take our money never according to the other parties attorney never submitted any thing regarding our case never called – not once our case dragged on for over a year. This is the worst attorney ever do not consider him to represent you if you are handicap his office is upstairs and hard to get into. Doesn’t have an elevator.

Does not appear in court for trial. The trials keeps getting pushed because he does not show nor does he speak with the client.

So far not looking good at keeping him as my husband’s attorney. He has had his case since the beginning of June and has not even had a conversation with him yet. Didn’t even know he had court today. Might have to file a Bar Grievance 🤦🏻♀️

Website said "FREE CONSULTATION FOR CRIMINAL LAW" he needs to remove that because that is FALSE ADVERTISING... We had to sign a document and were charged $200. Never returned a call and the only contact you get is the office manager. Court date was getting closer and does nothing to easy a client. DON'T BOTHER with this "LAWYER".

Has refused to return phone calls in hopes of situating my case. Has not contacted me in over a year about my cases despite multiple phone calls and emails. I’m not sure if the receptionist just doesn’t like me, and doesn’t pass on the messages that i’ve left for him, or if he is truly that busy and has forgotten that I am a client. I’ve had my case for going on 2 years now and have not had return contact from him in over a year. Have contacted them multiple times to get even a little information on my case and has not returned calls nor has he shown up in court like he promised he would. I know have further legal troubles because of their lack of representation and contact. Concerned whether this falls under legal malpractice.

Completely disappointed. A few months later comes back without providing service requested and offers me a refund. With most legal items being emotional, just felt so deflated with that.

I will be very clear! When running a business all aspects of the business matters. I called and just from the conversation with the receptionist tells me all i need to know. You work for a immigration attorney! I expect you to have some very basic knowledge. If you allow a person like this to answer your potential clients call NO Thank you!
Owner response
California law prohibits non-attorneys from giving legal advice. Answering questions about the law is legal advice. All employees are trained to do things legally and the right way--not the way that drums up the most business. A receptionist answers the phone, sets appointments and does administrative tasks, etc.-- not provide legal advice.

I highly recommend the attorney Phillip Gillet as an attorney. He was quick to help get my case dismissed and to provide lots of information for me. There were no points added to my driving record and no fines either. Thank you Phillip Gillet jr.

You are welcome. I am glad I was able to obtain an excellent result for you.

Phillip Gillett was a great attorney for our first 4 1/2 year case but then he dropped the ball totally forgot about us.....his staff member Lorraine is extremely rude, With no customer service skills what so ever. She's very confritational and no kind of bedside manner. She needs to retire quickly. We had so many threatening calls about to lose everything we had due to Phillip not taking the responsibility and fulfilling his duties of an attorney. I would not recommend this attorney. Then to find he still wanted us to pay him for duties he did not fulfill.
Owner response
This is the wife of my client. So, she is not my client at all. Case was dismissed for failure to make plan payments. Go read the order dismissing, it’s public record. That does not sound like attorney neglect to me. Sometimes, you have to take responsibility for the results of your actions. It’s funny that someone that starts screaming and cussing at my staff, pushing me, threatening to make my life hell because he knows people and refusing to leave without the police escorting him out says that someone else is rude. A detailed billing showing date, time spent, and amount billed is always provided as required by law. Once, your bankruptcy case is dismissed, the creditors can call you and want to get paid. The creditors may be persistent and not nice. So, if you’d like to file a chapter 13 Bankruptcy—not make the payments as required by the court order confirming the plan—your case is going to get dismissed. No attorney can lower the amounts required to be paid to keep your house, cars and other assets.
