Gael decided to pursue a career as a criminal defense attorney in order to help people in need that might not otherwise have had an opportunity for valuable legal advice. Gael practices criminal defense, handling traffic, misdemeanor, and felony charges. Gael is of Haitian descent and speaks French and Creole.
I recommend the services provided by Gilles Law with tremendous pride. They helped get my case settled with grace; very straight-forward, always up to date with new information, easy to get in touch with, and overall just on top of it. They took care of everything in a timely and efficient manner. Gilles Law was personally recommended to me by a friend and I'm so grateful!
As criminal defense lawyers in the Charlotte area, we are often asked why we do what we do. Countless times we have been asked, "how you can you defend someone who has committed a crime?" How can you defend someone even if you know they are guilty? Before becoming a criminal defense attorney, I may have had a different perspective on it, but now I am assured that my job protects the public just as much if not more than the job of a prosecutor.
At Gilles Law, you get criminal defense lawyers that follow the legal assertion that you are innocent until proven guilty. The Charlotte criminal defense attorneys at Gilles Law provide criminal defense legal services in North Carolina and South Carolina.

In North Carolina, simple assaults are considered less serious than other types. A simple assault could be threatening bodily harm to someone when it appears you have the immediate capacity to carry out the threat, or intentionally causing physical contact in an offensive manner. Any person who commits a simple assault, or participates in a simple affray is guilty of a Class 2 misdemeanor.

Gilles Law is awesome!! They advised me on several speeding tickets. They did what they said they would-performed flawlessly. They really came through in a difficult situation-its never guaranteed, but in my case they kicked butt. I would use them again in a heartbeat. Give them a call!

When it comes to getting your case taken care of quickly and professionally, Gael Gilles is your law office! I originally found Gael from a google review search and I must admit he did not disappoint. From the initial conversation, to ongoing case updates, and multiple court appearances he was professional and extremely responsive and always aware of everything going on in my case. I am especially impressed with his dedication to get everything done quickly through the pandemic. There is no one else in Charlotte I would recommend as highly as Gael and I will be referring him to everyone in the

I called in to speak with someone about my court case. I talked to Samantha and she was very helpful. The whole experience was delightful and easy. I would recommend this law firm to my family and friends. Thanks to Samantha and the attorney for making my experience smooth. Samantha called me back after the court case and give me an update the same day. I will definitely call back if I need an attorney. Thanks again to everyone who took care of my case.

Highly recommend the services of Gilles Law. I was recently involved in a matter that left me feeling stressed and intimidated. That was until I got on the phone with Mr. Gilles, who was excellent to work with. After efficiently gathering the details he needed about my case, Mr. Gilles and his team truly took care of business. They kept me in the loop, gave me plenty of time to provide the information they needed from me, appeared in court for me multiple times, and delivered the dismissal Mr. Gilles predicted he could when we first spoke. You will not regret the decision to hire Gilles Law. I

I hired Attorney Gilles to assist with my adoption. He was awesome! Our case initially was supposed to be just signing a few documents, but it turned in to case that lasted 17 months. Through the entire process he was patient and caring with us. His professionalism and kindness exceeded my expectations. My husband and I won the adoption case, and we couldn't be happier or more thankful for Attorney Gilles. I would highly recommend him for your legal needs.

Mr Gilles was very professional and prompt in his correspondence, as was his secretary. I felt his legal fees were very reasonable, and the outcome he received was the best i could hope for. I will definitely recommend his services to friends and family. if your reading these reviews to pick an attorney, Mr Gilles should be on the top of your list.

Mr. Gilles took on my case right after I had gotten a previous case dismissed. Since the offenses were so close together, I wasn't sure what to do or what my options were. Mr. Gilles explained various strategies and potential outcomes, and the pros/cons of each defense, which aided greatly in making a decision. Mr. Gilles went to court twice for me and was able to prevent these charges from going on my record. I am grateful that he was able to help me correct past mistakes and would recommend him without reservation to anyone needing a lawyer.
