MEET OUR TEAM

Misha Gill- Founding Attorney/CEO

Speedwell Law is a Virginia law firm owned and operated by Michael “Misha” Gill. Misha concentrates his practice in estate planning and administration, but he prefers to use the phrase “personal legal affairs” to describe his practice, as estate planning often overlaps with areas such as family law, contracts, business, and real estate law. Misha’s background in business, finance, and entrepreneurship serves him well in advising clients on all matters related to their personal legal affairs.

At Speedwell Law, Misha leads our dedicated team of attorneys and legal professionals to ensure that each client receives comprehensive, thoughtful, and efficient legal guidance. His approach is deeply collaborative, and he values the team’s collective expertise in providing clients with the best possible solutions.

The name ‘Speedwell’ pays homage to Misha’s great-grandfather’s property near McLean, Virginia, honoring his family’s longstanding Virginia heritage. The firm’s logo is inspired by the Speedwell wildflower, a Virginia native.

Alexandra Filiault – Attorney

As an estate planning lawyer, my professional philosophy is grounded in compassion and empathy. I understand that discussing and preparing for life’s eventualities can be a sensitive and emotional process. Therefore, I approach each client with the utmost care, striving to understand their unique circumstances and personal values. My goal is to collaborate closely with clients and their families, ensuring that their estate planning not only secures their financial legacy but also honors their life’s achievements and relationships. By fostering a partnership based on trust and mutual respect, I aim to provide peace of mind and create enduring plans that reflect each client’s wishes and needs.

Outside of work, I enjoy hiking with my two dogs, playing polo in the summer months with friends, and traveling. I have also been involved for over 10 years now as a volunteer for the Saturdays In Motion program based out of Somerset Hills, NJ, which is the longest running non-public recreational program for children on the Autism spectrum in the United States. In college, I was a four-year Academic All-American in the Landmark Conference as a cross country/track and field athlete, although today I don’t run nearly as much!
