Criminal
For more than 25 years, G&B attorney Michael Gillis has successfully handled district court criminal matters. The overwhelming number of cases resolve favorably before trial or are dismissed before trial. Of all the cases that have gone to trial, there have been only two convictions against G&B clients in all those years, one for a first offense operating under the influence of alcohol, and another where the client was charged with a third offense operating under the influence of alcohol, which carries a substantial mandatory jail sentence and a lengthy loss of license, but was convicted of only a first offense, which carries a much less sentence. Through an aggressive investigation of the case, appropriate motion practice to suppress evidence, preclude witnesses, or dismiss matters, and a good working relationship with the assistant district attorneys of the local counties, G&B clients regularly receive exceptionally fair resolutions of criminal matters as well as professional counsel should the matter be forced to trial.
