About Justin M.
Justin M. Gillman built a legal career that mixes courtroom work with appeals and steady bar association involvement. He earned his J.D. from William & Mary Marshall-Wythe School of Law in 1997 after completing a B.A. at Trinity College in 1994. Those credentials led quickly to practice in the New Jersey legal community.
He became a partner at Gillman & Gillman, LLC in 1997, the same year his membership with the New Jersey State Bar Association began. That early partnership marked the start of more than two decades of practice in bankruptcy and consumer-related matters. In 2019 he joined Gillman, Bruton & Capone, LLC as a partner, where he continues his day-to-day work.
Gillman is admitted to practice before multiple courts. He holds admission in New Jersey and New York. He is admitted to the United States Supreme Court and to the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit. He is also admitted in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey. Those credentials have enabled him to handle matters at trial and on appeal.
Professional memberships reflect his practice interests. He is a member of the National Association of Consumer Bankruptcy Lawyers. He has maintained his New Jersey State Bar Association membership continuously since 1997. Those affiliations have kept him connected to developments in consumer bankruptcy law and procedure.
Colleagues describe him as steady and deliberate in litigation. He regularly appears in bankruptcy court and handles adversary proceedings, contested claims and creditor negotiations. His work ranges from preparing filings and arguing motions to briefing appeals when cases move beyond the district court. He balances motion practice with case management and client counseling.
Clients and fellow attorneys encounter him most often in New Jersey matters, though his admissions allow him to file and argue in federal appellate settings as needed. He has worked on matters that require coordination among district court, bankruptcy court and appellate procedures. That breadth of admission supports cross-jurisdictional practice when cases demand it.
Justin M. Gillman practices at Gillman, Bruton & Capone, LLC. His practice centers on consumer bankruptcy and related litigation.
