Business and Commercial Litigation. With his personal involvement as a director and over 32 years representing businesses and individuals in commercial disputes, John Gillespie brings important practical experience to compliment his skills as a trial lawyer. Over the years, we have represented stockholders, corporate officers and directors, partners and joint venturers in claims involving contracts, fiduciary duties, misappropriation, statutory breaches, shareholder rights and the termination of business relationships.
Marine Product Liability Defense. Self-insured clients and those with large SIRs or deductibles have called upon us to represent them in product liability cases involving personal injury and warranty claims. As a lifelong boater and licensed aircraft pilot, Gillespie has personal knowledge of the complex systems that go into modern pleasure crafts which are often at the root of a product liability claim. Attorney Gillespie will use this personal experience to help you prepare your defense.
Will and Trust Litigation. John Gillespie has applied his trial experience to probate litigation, prosecuting and defending will and trust contests, often with millions of dollars at stake. The Gillespie Law Firm understands that the disinherited and left out frequently cannot afford to retain high priced and experienced attorneys who charge large hourly rates. Because of this, we will consider accepting your will or trust case on a contingent fee basis so that if there is no recovery, then there is no attorney's fee. And when defending a will contest, we may be successful in recovering the estate defense fees.
General Counsel. With a vast storehouse of business knowledge built over years of business litigation and service on corporate boards, John Gillespie has been asked to serve as outside general counsel by companies who cannot afford to bring those services "in house" but cannot afford to dispense with them either. For better or worse, legal complexities are an important part of today's business environment and The Gillespie Law Firm can help sort through those daily challenges. We have considerable experience in representing continuing care retirement communities (CCRC) and act as general counsel for one of the largest single site CCRCs in the United States.
Mortgage Foreclosure Defense, Loan Restructuring and Loan Workouts. The Gillespie Law firm is affiliated with veteran attorneys with vast experience in defending issues related to credit. It may be possible to negotiate a modification of your existing loan or secure an extension of time to pay to avoid foreclosure. And where other alternatives have failed, our affiliated attorneys can use your rights to get you the time you need. We know how this is done because we have represented banks and other creditors and now our experience is available to come to your aid and defense.
Property Tax Appeals. The Gillespie Law Firm understands that the first step in determining your property taxes is the tax assessor's determination of the value of your property. Most taxpayers don't know that they have a right to appeal that valuation. Our affiliated attorneys have many years of experience in these matters, having handled thousands of such appeals, and we are prepared to put that experience to work for you.
