About

In addition to practicing as a family law lawyer, I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (M.F.T. 21420) and act as a court appointed, child custody mediator, evaluator and expert witness in disputed custody litigation. I have practiced family law since 1991 and my litigation practice involves custody, support, divorce, domestic partnership termination, property division, second parent adoption and all other areas of family law related matters. I have been trained extensively in collaborative negotiation and divorce mediation and have been a part of or conducted many negotiated or mediated divorces using these methods.

Eileen Gillis is a great Attorney who cares a lot about her Clients. Eileen represented me in a Custody Case that lasted from January 2011-June 2011. Being oblivious to the process, Eileen educated me well on what to expect. After months of court hearings and a trial we won the case and I was awarded Primary Custody of my children. I am lucky to have had Eileen as my attorney. She thoroughly prepared me for each hearing. She communicated with me well and always answered any questions I had. Ms. Gillis is passionate about helping people. Prior to trial I ran out of funds to maintain her services. Instead of dropping me she continued to give her all to my case, and stuck it out till the end. I am truly appreciative and grateful for all of Eileen’s hard work and dedication. This is my first time ever needing an attorney for anything and Eileen made it a comfortable experience. I would definitely recommend her services.

I hired Eileen to handle my divorce, she bled me dry, after paying over $30,000 in legal fees, when we got to court she didn't know my case AT ALL. She told me arbitration was quicker and cheaper, when it is NEITHER!!! She basically had her assistant do all the work, even though he was very green at the time (though he at least CARED and did the best he could). When I went to her with help on harassment and my ex selling items against the restraining order and other issues she gave me poor advise, and now because of the statutes I was unable to hold my ex accountable. Then she insisted I sign to remove her from my case and never filed the judgment or put it on my ex's credit report. I strongly feel she just tries to bill hours and doesn't care about her clients AT ALL!!! I should have sued her or at least reported her to the BAR association, but at the time I just had too much on my plate. Hiring Eileen Gillis was the WORST financial mistake I have EVER made!!! (including my marriage and divorce)
