Bineham & Gillen, PLLC

I got James as my attorney after my final agreement had been signed. James had to fight to get the final agreement changed because I would have been paying her bills for the rest of her life. He worked with me when my money ran out and trusted I would pay him later. He discounted my fees because he knew I had been taken advantage of. He gave me other legal advice not related to divorce. When you are with James you really feel like he is on your side and not just trying to close a deal. The only problem is he is so good that he stays busy a lot. Do yourself a favor if you need a divorce attorney. Hire James.

Matt Gilbert helped me. He was helpful, wonderful, friendly and amazing. He quoted a great, reasonable price for high quality services. He helped me complete my divorce. I started my divorce on my own to try to save money at first, but then when I went to file it at the attorney generals office, I was told it would take six months until it was looked at. That was too long. Matt helped me where I left off, and kept me informed through out the whole process. I felt hopeful and everything was completed sooner than expected. Thank you so much!

Jaynie has been sort helpful! Child custody cases are very complex and they have been the best.

Extremely satisfied with Mr. Bineham! We used him in our case and his knowledge, honesty, and courtesy were more than what we could ask for. Case was dropped due to his expertise of advocating for us. He went above and beyond and did everything he could to ensure a great outcome! Thank you Mr. Bineham!

James has been my attorney for about 10 years now and he has been awesome! He is the BEST attorney anyone could ever for and have recommended him to 2 of my coworkers and we all share the same opinion. James Gillen is The Man if you ever need a divorce or child custody attorney, not to mention has helped me with other legal issues as well and my record is clean! Many Thanks James, Clint

Doug helped us with child support enforcement & he was nothing short of amazing ! Hes not only extremely knowledgeable of family law but hes been doing it so long hes just cool as cucumber. He knows his stuff & everything worked out just as he said things would. We should have done this a LOT sooner ! Worth every penny & hell be our family lawyer for life.

Even though I just came out from the free consultation with Mr. Gillen and have yet to decide what I will do next, I feel compel to write a review about my experience with Mr. Gillen. I can't say enough how much I appreciate him for everything he did during this short meeting. Even though it's 30' session, he went way passed the time to explain all my questions. He showed no sign of hurry despite his assistant was signaling he had another client waiting. And his advises blew my mind. There's no guarantee that I would be able to retain him, he didn't hold back on giving me as many advises as he could. Being a healthcare worker myself, I really think his background as an ER nurse still shows in his line of work as an attorney by giving valuable care to his client. Thank you sir for everything you have done for me today.

James was extremely helpful. Im so grateful I went to speak with him.

Mr. Bineham is a blessing in hard times. Seriously when you feel lost and discouraged with whatever situation youre put in, he will get you through it. Totally dependable and works with your financial situation. Hes an attorney that is not about the money. He focuses on giving his clients truly the best. If youre thinking about hiring him as your lawyer, Im telling you to do it. Hes simply the best around.

Price I was quoted was reasonable for the services provided, communication was never an issue unlike prior experiences I've had with other attorney's and Law Firms. He always went above and beyond.

I recently went through a divorce and had the opportunity to work with Matt Gilbert. Matt was absolutely a Godsend. Divorce is such a hard time and I had my fair share of freak out moments. Matt was always a calming presence --totally professional, compassionate, kind, and empathetic. He responded quickly to my questions and he gave wise feedback and advice. I truly feel like he went above and beyond to secure the best possible outcome for me and my family. There really aren't any words that can adequately reflect the level of gratitude and respect I have for Matt Gilbert. Another person I'd like to mention is Melanie Iocona who works in the office. She was always so upbeat and professional. She corresponded quickly and I never had any doubts that she was taking care of things. If you are in need of an attorney I fully recommend this law firm and in particular, Matt Gilbert.

Ryan was awesome!! He was really easy to work with!! He did a great job of listening to my needs wants and desires!! Ryan worked hard to make things happen. He did a great job of communicating through this whole progress. Sometimes burning the late night oil to me prepared. As a person who suffers from PTSD he did a great job reducing the stressful process of a divorce. I would recommend him to anybody and will use him for all my legal needs in the future!! You Rock Ryan

These guys are the real deal. I got lucky enough to work with Matt Gilbert an associate attorney with the firm. If integrity and hard work are the cornerstones of a successful legal practice, these guys have it down. I recommend these guys highly.

Doug is an excellent lawyer. He put his time and effort into my case with complete disregard to his own health, he took great care for me, he helped me save tons of money, and got my case resolved in a timely fashion despite my exs efforts, to my full satisfaction. I highly recommend this company to anyone looking for a lawyer with conscience and full dedication to their clients.

Recently hired Ryan Bergman because our previous adoption attorney wasnt returning calls. Ryan was great, offered a lot of help and stayed in contact continuously. I emailed, text and had numerous phone conversations and there wasnt a time when more than 24hrs went by without contact. Ryan was friendly as well as professional and I would highly recommend him if you were looking for someone to represent you in your adoption case

Let me start by saying that William 'Ryan' Bergmann has been nothing short of a blessing to my family and I. His secretary Melanie was delightful and his boss James also stepped into our meeting to give his advice which played a huge role into how our case went. I'm a disabled military vet that has had nothing go right for me in court, even though I'm an honest man that doesn't ask for much but to be left alone and to live my life. I was ordered to pay a large amount of spousal support (alimony) on top of child support and I felt like I had nowhere left to turn. This is where Ryan and his team came in and never gave up!!! After multiple hearings, long days, appeals and different judges, we won!!! Ryan's relentless attitude and calm demeanor have given me hope with today's judicial system. He did a great job in Court and finally got the Judge to start siding with us. Us Dads have a chance! You just have to hire the right lawyer and if you go with Ryan or his firm, you won't regret it. God Bless and I hope everyone else has a great outcome like I did.

Ryan Bergmann was super easy to work with. It was a stressful process but Ryan was always professional and did not mind answering the many questions I had through out the process. He was able to answer my phone calls/texts/emails in a very timely manner. Melanie, at the front desk, was always so kind, very helpful and understanding.

I spoke to Ryan and he took time to speak to me. He is very knowledgeable. He doesnt take advantage of taking money from you he really wants whats best for me. He is wonderful and he felt me very at ease and comfortable. I will definitely keep him as my attorney.

Its not always easy selecting a lawyer, as I have had bad luck with previous ones. There shouldnt be stress of selecting a good lawyer on top of everything else thats going on. Ryan Bergmann was the light at the end of a dark tunnel. He put me at ease knowing he would fight for me. Ryan and his staff were knowledgeable and courteous. It was a bonus that he would answer calls and/or text within 24 hours. I would highly recommend this firm to anyone seeking legal advice.

I cant say enough amazing things about this law firm. Kind, compassionate, and experienced attorneys.

Used this firm for personal services. The attorney Ryan Bergmann was quick to respond to my questions and follow up on matters relating to my case. Highly recommend!!

Ryan was helpful in my case and was very informative. The process was clear and easy to understand.

I had Ryan working on my team to make sure we could work out a better agreement on terms of our divorce and he did an excellent job at keeping everything in order, telling me what to expect, advising me towards the best choices, and made the process simple and easy.

James was extremely helpful in dealing with my case and all of my needs. He looked out for my interests and gave me solid legal advice and protected me at every turn! A great attorney and worth the money spent!

Ryan Bergmann did a excellent job with my case exceeding my expectations no doubt to hire him again thank you!!!

I recently had the pleasure of working with Mr. Ryan Bergmann, who was a tremendous help and phenomenal attorney. There are so many law firms here in San Antonio, it is nothing short of a headache trying to ensure you make the best decision in hiring the right one to represent you and your interests. I consulted 3 different firms in the beginning, not only was Mr. Bergmann first to contact me back but he did it personally, within 24 hours! He exudes confidence and is very intelligent, something you notice within the first couple minutes of speaking with him. I didn't get that from the other two firms, they were impersonal and rushed. Dealing with a potential custody battle with a very stubborn bully of an ex is a highly stressful situation, yet Mr. Bergmann made the stress melt away. He was always there.. responded to every email, phone call (even gave me his personal cell) and never seemed like he was too busy for my constant barrage of questions. He not only exceeded my expectations, he raised them. All without breaking the bank. After this experience, I know who I will be contacting in the future should the need ever arise. I do have one regret - I wish I had found him sooner and was able to use him for my divorce last year! Thank you Ryan for all of your advice, knowledge and support throughout the past several months! You, as well as Bineham & Gillen as a whole, have been truly invaluable to my family.

It was a blessing that I found this firm. Doug initially took charge of my case. I'm sure that other lawyers cringe when they find out Doug Bineham is on the otherside. He did an awesome job of fighting for father's rights in the courtrooms. Then after the dust settled Doug gave my case to Ryan who did a great job of finalizing everything. Melanie was also a big help. I 100% reccomend this form to anyone. Thank you Binehan and Gillen.

Quick from day 1. Very precise and answered all my questions. Available almost 24/7.

I appreciate the professionalism displayed by Ryan. He removed the stress of finalizing my divorce. I am grateful for his help and would recommend him for anyone in the same boat.

Ryan Bergmann was the attorney that helped me with my case. Very professional and always kept me updated with my case. Highly recommend this law firm!

I went to Bineham & Gillen for my divorce case last year, James has helped me through the entire process in 4 months, he was very helpful to make sure everything was clear to me and reviewed. Whenever I had questions, he was always very helpful to give me suggestions. Great firm, very professional. Highly recommend. Thanks, James!

Working with Ryan was an amazing blessing! I found this law firm at the very last minute, and within less than 5 minutes of talking with them I knew I wanted them to represent me. Ryan Bergmann was the 1st person I spoke with and he immediately took action. He understood my fears, concerns, and frustrations. Answering any and all questions in a manner in which us 'non attorneys' could fully understand. He helped me stay calm and not stress so much over my case. This law firm is sharp and I will be working with them again. Thank you again Ryan Bergmann for all of your help. - Travis F.

Excellent work, comfortable environment. Took the stress away from court environment, great memory!

This is a case where I am honored to write a positive and well-deserved review. Law can be confusing, expensive, and debilitating for the average person- and at Bineham&Gillen, my family and I were treated with respect and care. I will happily vouch for the professionalism, skill, and kindness of this firm and have been vocally encouraging my friends in San Antonio to go through them for all their legal needs. Even if it is outside their realm (which very little is), they will help you get the legal counsel you need.

I felt Mr. Gillen was very thorough and looked out for my best interest throughout my divorce process. He was able to also help with some headaches caused by the Attorney Generals office. He backed everything up with paperwork and made sure everything was documented. Overall a great lawyer.

Definitely a 5 Star!!!! James has been representing me for about 10 years or so. I have referred some of my friends here as well and we have had nothing but the best representation.

Mr. Jim Gillen has been a blessing to me and my family. Unfortunately after my father died, my siblings came after me with a vengeance. Never heard from them in the 6 years I took care of my dad. Anyway, things got nasty and I was referred to Bineham and Gillen by the BAR. Good reference from them too. Up to this date, things appear to have been settled and Jim has been with me every step of the way. I dont know what I would have done without him. The entire office, especially Melanie, was also great. Very suppprtive and kind during a very hard time.

My attorney was Ryan bergmann and he was so awesome. I hired him 2 weeks almost and he did everything I was needing to help my kids more. He was good keeping in touch and very professional. I would recommend him to anyone and everyone. Thank you mr. Bergmann I can final move on and help my kids more.

I was extremely pleased with Ryan Bergmanns prompt, professional, and meticulous communication. All options regarding my situation were explained in a clear and concise manner and I could not speak more highly of him.

Bineham & Gillen came highly recommended to me by two separate longtime friends who had gone through divorce. The initial consultation was very comprehensive and I gained an understanding of how best to proceed in this foreign-to-me process. Mr. Gillen's guidance and wisdom were invaluable and his style is ideal: he has integrity, is pragmatic, and possesses a calming demeanor which helps tremendously as one goes through this stressful and painful process. His in-depth knowledge of Texas family law statutes and the unique issues faced in a divorce involving military member(s) were readily apparent (he served in the Marines), particularly as we went through mediation. He and his staff communicated optimally with succinct emails or phone calls and he was always readily available when I reached out.

Anytime I have ever needed guidance, advice/help, Mr. Bineham has been more than accommodating and compliant. My family members too have needed help with filing and if he is unable to work on a case he will still refer you. I wouldve probably spent unnecessary $ but the Lord blessed me

Mr Bergmann helped my father with his insurance claim. My father's insurance company was not treating my elderly father fairly. Mr Bergmann was very personable and helped my father recover what was fairly owed to him. He far exceeded our expectation!

To William R Bergmann the lawyer that helped me out with no hesitation. i asked if he can review what i have been served. Never in my life have i been sued yet Mr. Bergmann helped me out and responded to me within 24 hrs. He was so concerned and was easy to talk to. My claim was settled and I was highly satisfied with the fast results. Once again thank you. I highly recommend the attorneys at Bineham & Gillen.

I was very impressed with Jaynie Badgett from the start. She was very helpful and diligent with handling my case. I would highly recommend her. If there is someone you need to fight for you, let Jaynie Badgett. Very precise and answered all my questions. She backed me up and made sure everything was taken care of.The headaches went away because of her. Thank you Jaynie, You are the best. Over all the greatest lawyer ever...

Professional 5 star service from Bineham & Gillen. I own a small business in San Antonio. When we had issues with a customer who didn't want to pay, the firm was a huge help. William 'Ryan' Bergmann was diligent and professional in resolving this dispute by working with our customer before having to take it to court. Thanks Mr. Bergmann and the team at Bineham & Gillen.

Everyone in the office was very kind and welcoming. Mr. Gillen helped me and intervened for me during a very difficult time in my life. Thank you for your help.

Very professional and available anytime I had questions. Did not hesitate to follow up and provided fast service even during the holidays.

Mr. Gillen was the second lawyer I sought to help me through my divorce proceedings. The first barely communicated with me then took a job in another city half way through my case. Mr. Gillen took my consult promptly and addressed all my concerns throughout the process. He is extremely down to earth. Melanie, his office clerk is as sweet as can be and was a pleasure to interact with, even during stressful times I had to pay my bills. In a case where I earn much less than my now X-husband, Mr. Gillen made sure I obtained my fair share. His experience really showed through at mediation when he went to bat for me on both monetary and childcare issues. At times I felt bad for my X, his lawyer seemed poorly organized and less professional. I left the mediation with much more than I thought was possible...a true relief since I provide the vast majority of care for my 2 children while also working full time. Hire Mr. Gillen and his team, you wont be sorry.

My X wanted 80% of everything. Not a great way to start. Once James got involved - he got us through the process in 4 months with a very equitable and smart resolution. Highly recommend.

I would 100% recommend Bineham & Gillen law firm. The amount of professionalism and proficiency I received was well worth the cost. All the staff in the office are very welcoming, kind and attentive.
