Partial List of Endorsements

I have known Gil since he was a young boy growing up in Royal Oak Township. As his family lived about a block down the street from my family, I had an excellent vantage point to observe his outstanding development. Gil has always stood out as a leader.

His leadership qualities have been displayed in his roles as Township Supervisor and Legal Counsel. He has also shown his leadership qualities as President of the Oakland County branch of the NAACP and as a member of various civic organizations dedicated to improving the community.

His knowledge of the law and passion for helping others has made him an outstanding lawyer. He has a knack for understanding complex legal issues and the tenacity and the dedication to protect his clients’ interest. He is a true professional who possesses the legal skills, knowledge and experience to handle the most difficult legal issues.
