Hired Attorney

Documents that DeeAn's staff produced were unprofessional, inaccurrate and lacking details that were discussed. I had to rewrite the documents myself and they choose to submit my work word for word. Communication was slow, sometimes late. Anytime we requested information they charged us. DeeAn was caring but too busy to fully understand the case. When the divorce was final the firm never even contacted us and didn't return calls.

I used this law firm for a Contingency case about 10 years ago. Need less to say... they suck! I would give them a "zero" if the system let me. Go to Martindale.com a lawyer search site. You're looking for a lawyer who has an AV rating. These are the good lawyers. DeeAn Gillespie has a Peer Review 3.4 out of 5.... not good. Meaning other lawyers don't want to give them a good review.

I was a single mom who had very little income and needed my divorce/child support amended.The paralegal I worked with was fired and the new paralegal had no idea what was going on in my case.They charged me for the time I had to bring the new paralegal up to speed.My ex in the meantime took me to court in UT-state of our divorce-and I told her to hold off on any proceedings until I had the order from the judge in Utah.They didn't listen, I had NOTHING changed and was out $3500.Single mom

This was a client from 2009 who sought to change jurisdiction from Utah to Arizona. We did credit the paralegal work, and we did stop work when asked. The case settled in Utah. I hope that the settlement brought lasting stability to her and her family.

She is very unprofessional. Giggles during meetings and court. Her work is sloppy at best, degrading, and misleading. She sent in another lawyer in her place without letting parties or Judge (poor guy didn't know anything about the case either)know and didn't show up for court once! confrontational, curt, no manners, rants to other lawyers, files motion after motion,constantly bills but promises the she will get all fees from opposing party. Never did.

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale Peer Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.
