Reviews for Sidney
Have you consulted or hired this lawyer?
Leave a review about your experience with this lawyer.Christopher Gilreath is not dedicated to his clients. 3 years into my personal injury part of my auto accident case, Chris stated he could no longer represent me because "the opposing side is forcing me to withdraw as your attorney". I really thought I heard him wrong. He was so vague and false about any difference on issues. I only heard from him 3 different times because I gave him full reign over that part of the case. The defendants' insurance company claimed 80% liability(!?). Be Very Aware
