"Kind, patient, christian lawyer."

Tom helped me with my bankruptcy. He made the process so easy for me. It was a difficult decision, but Tom patiently answered all my questions and gave me the perfect advice along the way. He was a godsend when I needed him the most. I was referred to him by a judge who attends my church. Quite impressive to be referred by a judge, but the judge was right. He said he was the only lawyer he would refer anyone to based on his ethics.

      "I would like to thank this law firm"

      I would like to thank this law firm for digging me out of a 3 yr divorce.

      Jana is probably one of the best attorneys that I have ever dealt with!

      Once I hired Jana my divorce was completed in a matter of weeks. Honest and trustworthy is the best way to describe her and her firm. She"s very straightforward and to the point. All I will say about my last attorney is they milked me for at least 40k! So as you can see im very happy I met Jana. please do yourself a favor and hire this firm. And BTW I never write reviews but in this case it was very deserved. thank you Jana!

      "hire Barnett/Gill!"

      I can not even begin to express my gratitude for JANA BARNETT. I had been dealing with custody issues for years I had other attorney’s who never seemed to get anywhere. Within a matter of months Jana settled my case with EVERYTHING I was asking for. She fought hard for me, she was quick to respond, she was diligent and she refused to back down. You can tell she genuinely cares and she fights for what is right. Her paralegal Tina was great and always quick to respond as well. If you want to WIN whatever battle you may be seeking a family law attorney for hire Barnett/Gill!

      "Thank you Jana!"

      I came to Barnett Gill with an extremely difficult custody modification case. Jana laid out a strategy from our very initial consultation and it proved to be the best route for my situation. She is patient, kind and honest. I hope to never have to use a lawyer for a family law issue again, however, if I do I know without a doubt I will return to this firm. Everyone I encountered was great. It’s been a long year in this legal battle rectifying what Judge Tibbals got so very wrong in 2020, but we came out victorious thanks to her dedication to my case and my family. As a mother I will never stop fighting for my kids- and as a law firm I feel as though they will stand by and fight with you, and THAT is what I desired when choosing legal representation. Thank you Jana!

      "10 - Stars!!"

      I was one of Jana's clients for a 2-year divorce and custody battle. I could not imagine trying to navigate the mind field of the litigation process alone. Luckily, I didn't have to. The professionalism and empathy I received, not only from her, but from everyone in the firm was unrivaled. She was attentive, caring, dependable, tenacious, and incredibly knowledgeable. I would highly recommend Jana or anyone else at the firm. They will always have your best interest in mind and work swifty, aggressively, and most important, ethically to ensure you are taken care of. 10 - Stars!!

      "If I need family law assistance in the future I will make the hour drive to use this office."

      I was referred to this office by my financial advisor concerning alimony payments. I called and the receptionist took my concern. Within 10 minutes I got a callback from attorney Jana Barnett. She answered my questions right away and said there was no charge for a consult. If I need family law assistance in the future I will make the hour drive to use this office.

      "This law firm is top notch."

      This law firm is top notch. My divorce was filed back in 2015 and was just settled. I had to change attorneys and I am so glad that I found Jana (who is a gem) to finally settle my case instead of going back and forth to court. I also want to thank Tina as well for her excellent service to finishing up all details on this matter as well. Whatever you need family law, bankruptcy, etc, which is what I used them for, this is the place you need to be.

      "Honest, reliable, and overall a great team to work with."

      Mr. Gill and his office were nothing short of exceptional during my time retaining his services. This was without a doubt the most stressful moment in my life and Mr. Gill and his team were there to guide me through all of it. I felt like my questions were always answered thoroughly. Emails were always answered back very fast. I would highly recommend this law firm and Mr. Gill's services to anyone who is looking for assistance. Honest, reliable, and overall a great team to work with. I hope I never need a lawyer again, but if I do, I will return.

      "I highly recommend this law firm and their great team."

      If you need legal advice or in my instance a divorce I highly recommend this law office. They don't treat you as a payday as other attorneys offices do and it's so easy to keep track of your case progress because they keep you informed every step of the way. I want to especially thank Miss Jana Barnett, my attorney in this matter, and her amazing team Miss Tina Castro, as well as the others in the office. These two took amazing care of my needs and made sure I was well informed every step of the way. Thank you again and I highly recommend this law firm and their great team.

      "This law office is truly dedicated on helping you."

      I normally don't do surveys or write reviews, but due to the level of service provided I felt compelled. This law office is truly dedicated on helping you. As a single father fighting for more custody, Tom and paralegal Jana were amazing. They didn't try to nickel and dime me. Suggested best course of action to get the results I wanted with minimal cost. Highly recommend!!!

      We have had occasion to use the Law Office of Thomas P. Gill, Jr. two times. One for settling an estate, and one for advice and formation of our own wills. We have been very happy with the service, courtesy, and friendliness of the entire Gill staff. We recommend them highly.

      "She will empower you and guide you every step of the way."

      I was Jana Burnett's client. I filed my bankruptcy with her. From the day one she explained everything to me in detail. The concept of bankruptcy and how it works. I really liked her way of explaining everything and being there for me whenever I needed help in the process or felt insecure about any issue or problem. She is very intelligent and professional lawyer. I would definitely recommend anyone in such vulnerable situation to go to her. She will empower you and guide you every step of the way.

      "I left the phone call feeling 100 times better than I did when I originally initiated."

      I was extremely devastated when I reached out to the law office due to concern over a potential custody battle. I left a message and was contacted the same day and time that I was given. Thomas was so attentive and knowledgeable. All of the questions I had were answered. I left the phone call feeling 100 times better than I did when I originally initiated. Even after asking a bunch of questions, knowing that I wouldn't need his services he continued to answer questions with honest answers making it very clear how efficient he was in his field. I am very happy that I found him and honestly hope I won't have to use him in the future.... however if the services are needed I would definitely pick him!

      "I will surely be referring Mr. Gill and contacting him for relevant legal services in the future!"

      Mr. Tom Gill was extremely helpful in his free phone consultation. He had the office call back the very next morning after I left a message with an answering service, and he called back himself that very afternoon. He was very attentive and listened well to my detailed situation and concerns. Very thorough explanations and clarified when I had questions. He gave me a referral when we determined his services were not going to be relevant for the matter at hand. I will surely be referring Mr. Gill and contacting him for relevant legal services in the future!

      "My sanity restored"

      I don't know where to start. Mr Tom Gill and his assistant Jana are amazing!! My home was in foreclosure and I was struggling to keep it, but with the help of Mr. Gill and his team of wonderful people I was able to save my home!! I thought it would be a long process and stressful, but neither happened. I was able to call them whenever I had a concern or was freaking out and they immediately and patiently helped me and calmed me down. Mr. Gill helped me keep my sanity and stay stress free through the whole process! I can never thank him enough for what he has done for me! I never had to use a lawyer before, but he will forever be my go to guy. Thank you Mr. Gill and Jana for everything!

      "Great family practice."

      I gladly can say I have known Tom for over 10 years. I have sought out advice from time to time and he is always prompt and detailed. I have also been referred once to an attorney outside his firm, and another time to an attorney in his office. In my opinion some firms take any and all cases but don't have expertise. Tom has expertise in many areas and I appreciate when someone says this is not my area, but I can recommend a professional. I also used Tom's office for a family law probate issue. Tom's wife, Lisa, and staff are very professional and quick and efficient. I have been procrastinating adding some legal documents to my portfolio but as soon as I make time I will be using Tom Gill's office, and I would not think of going anywhere else.

      "Best lawyer in town."

      Mr. Gill assisted me in a very difficult time of my life. He answered/returned every phone call I made to him. He never rushed me and took time to answer all of my concerns. Knowing my financial situation, he executed a successful strategy that also conserved my money. I have met with other lawyers in the past and never felt as comfortable as I did with Tom Gill. I refer him to all my friends. He is the best lawyer I know.

      "Happy Dad!"

      Mr Gill and his legal team were amazing. They represented me in my maternity/time sharing case, and I couldn't be more thankful for everything they did for not only me, but for my family as well. From the very beginning, Mr. gill and his team bonded with me and made me feel like they were taking my case personal ans every time I called or emailed they always made me feel like my case was of the utmost importance. Tom's personal testimony made an instant personal and emotional connection with me. I gained respect for his honesty and integrity. His first instructions were his continuous instructions, "stay calm, be patient, and above all, Be Nice!" His team walked me through some of the roughest days, when my daughter was kept from me. Thanks to Tom and his team, I have a split time sharing parenting plan, I actually get my daughter over 50% of the time. I would gladly refer people to Tom and his amazing team.

      "An attorney of his word."

      I got referred to Tom Gill through a friend of mine that had used him and was happy with his services. Being skeptical, I had already used two attorneys in Tampa since 2009 and was not getting the results I wanted in my case. I felt I wasn’t being listened to and the attorneys were just taking my money. I met with Tom Gill in 2013 and told him my situation with attorneys in the past. Tom, was honest and straight forward speaking with me and wanting to flight for my child custody case. Tom Gill and his staff were beyond words involved at all times, answered my questions, returned my phone calls within a few hours and made me feel comfortable on my case. I finally felt that there was hope at the end of the tunnel and they truly cared. 2014, my case was closed with the outcome I was hoping for since 2009. Words can’t express how grateful I am to Tom and his staff for changing my daughter and my life.

      "Turned my life around."

      I came to Mr. Gill in the lowest point in my life. I worked with two lawyers before I was finally referred to him. My divorce was dragging on for 3 years before I hired Tom to do my case and it was the best decision I have ever made. With two 8 year old sons, I had specific requests and goals for my divorce and Mr. Gill understood exactly what my objectives were. Every time I had a question, he would answer it right away, or return my call that day. He picked up my life that was once in shambles and turned it around quicker than I could have imagined. I refer all of my co-workers, family, and friends to him. I'm thankful for what he did every day.
