Hello. My name is Nadia Gilkes. I’m a proud graduate of Texas Wesleyan University School of
Law; licensed to practice in the great state of Texas. Throughout my educational and legal
career I’ve assisted individuals with family law, probate, and estate planning matters.
Immediately after receiving my law license, The Gilkes Law Firm was founded to assist Texas
families in crisis.
I believe everyone that contacts my law firm should be treated with respect and compassion,
regardless of the circumstance. It is my goal to take you from trauma to triumph by providing
proper, efficient legal care.
In addition to being committed to my clientele, I am also deeply committed to public service. I
am a founding member of the Texas Lawyers for Texas Veterans – TCBA chapter. I’m an
Alzheimer’s Association advocate, volunteering in their Speaker’s Bureau to educate the
community on the disease and the services offered by the Association. I also give a great deal
of time and energy to Toastmasters International focusing on building strong communicators
and leaders in the community.
In my spare time I try to catch as many Buffalo Bills games and concerts as I can. Traveling,
quilting, and attending festivals are also some of my favorite pastimes.
