Our team takes the time to understand your unique situation and provide clear, practical guidance. From your first consultation, we work with you to identify the best legal options and strategies for your case.
Work With Experts
Since 2016, The Gilchrist Law Firm has represented clients in criminal defense, immigration, and personal injury. Our attorneys bring knowledge, dedication, and a client-first approach to every case.
Transparent Fees
We believe quality legal representation should be accessible. Our firm provides competitive and transparent rates, with flexible options to ensure you get the support you need without hidden costs.
Thorough Case Preparation
Every case deserves careful attention. We review your documents, evidence, and personal story in detail to build the strongest possible representation on your behalf.
Legal Practice Areas
Our firm provides comprehensive legal services across multiple practice areas, combining deep legal knowledge with personalized client care. We are committed to protecting your rights, resolving your challenges, and achieving the best possible outcomes.
Immigration
We proudly represent immigration clients with up-to-date legal knowledge and active membership in the American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA). This provides access to nationwide resources and strengthens the advocacy we deliver to our clients.
Personal Injury
If you’ve been injured due to negligence, our team will fight for the compensation and justice you deserve. We approach every personal injury case with compassion and relentless advocacy.
Criminal Law
Criminal charges can be stressful and overwhelming. Our firm offers experienced representation in plea negotiations and full jury trials, preparing every case with diligence and care.
Traffic Violations
One simple ticket could lead to license suspension and higher insurance costs. We help you resolve traffic matters quickly and efficiently, saving you time in court and potentially thousands of dollars in increased fees.
About Us
Founded in December 2016, The Gilchrist Law Firm was built around one principle: client care comes first. We believe every case has a story, and our role is to tell that story, whether before a judge, jury, or anyone else with an impact on your future.
Our team keeps close relationships with clients and manages a dedicated client inventory to ensure that every individual receives the personalized attention they deserve.
