Gillen & Pickelsimer, LLC Pro

Max Pickelsimer has always gone above and beyond for our family. He was attentive to our desire to have all issues resolved quickly, took much care to ensure the children involved were heard and was always available when we called with questions. Family Court is not for the faint of heart. Retaining a respected and caring family court attorney (and their staff) is something every family dealing with the court system must have to ensure a resolution that's best for their situation. We are forever grateful to Mr. Pickelsimer and would highly recommend him to anyone dealing with the family court system. Couldn't have asked for better representation.

Michael represented my spouse in a divorce. If you want the process to move forward efficiently and without drama he is an excellent choice His staff was excellent and competent. We encountered each other under difficilt circumstances, but, he is a fine lawyer and very competent.

I have had several attorneys over the years to help with different aspects of my divorce. Max came highly recommended and he did not disappoint. He was kind and helpful and got me a favorable outcome. I appreciate him and Elizabeth! Thank you for all you did.

Michael has been great resolving a 6 year old case, within months of hiring him. I am beyond grateful for his time.

My father and I contacted Max Pickelsimer after researching the best divorce and separation attorneys in the Carolinas, and after discovering Max's long history in the justice system prior to his practice. Down-to-earth, truthful, highly knowledgeable of the law, and transparent, Max rapidly built our trust. He was complimented by members of his office staff, most noticeably, his secretary, Ms. Elizabeth, who spoke with me like she would a friend. My father's health had not been good, and I was concerned about the negative effects that could be brought on by too much stress. Max and Elizabeth did all they could to alleviate this just by being extremely competent, communicative, and kind. Max told us about the laws that protected my dad, and let both of us know what was next in the process. He was right by our side. The results were stellar. I would recommend Max to anyone who is honest and fearful of the process. Max and Ms. Elizabeth got married, as is right. Congratulations!

Max came highly recommended from a trusted friend and delivered on a multitude of levels. My divorce was a difficult one – even without children. Max is well-rounded with a diverse professional background that makes him a very effective attorney. Prior to my divorce, I’d never had to rely on an attorney, and let me tell you, having the right one is paramount. He treated my case like it was his own, was very prompt on communication, kind, understanding and most importantly, diligent. It was clear to me early in the process that without the right attorney that truly took the time to understand my specific situation, things could have gone south quickly. Max worked with me to get a clear picture of the situation and was highly effective in how he handled my case every step of the way. I can’t stress enough how professional and exceedingly effective he was during the entire process.

Excellent Lawyer! Mr. Gillen really listened to my problem and came through with a solution for my case. He gave great legal advice, and really fights hard for you. I am so thankful for Mr. Gillen. I highly recommend his services!

Mike was excellent in my case. We were able to win temporary custody after a series of issues that happened that resulted in me needing to go to court.. He was diligent and honest throughout the entire process, and guided me on what needed to be done leading up to court to give the best possible scenario.
