Thank you to Andy and his team for comfort and ease they brought me and my family. My father got hit by a car while on his bicycle and was hospitalized for over 2 months. Few weeks after the accident, I received the police report, I was surprised to see that my father was at fault, even though my hi got hit on the bike line during nighttime and his front and back lights were on.

This was not the outcome, I was expecting and added to my stress level due to my father's health situation in ICU. A friend of mine suggested to hire an attorney for help. I did some research and contacted Andy, I left him a message, he called me right the way and discussed my father's situation. I was relieved when he said at the end of the conversation, he will take that case and I should focus only on my father's health.

He constructed the accident and proved that the driver was at fault, he negotiated with the Medical and auto insurance companies and settled with them. During the process, he or his staff would call and ask first about the father's health, then gave me updates. I felt that Andy and his team did not see us as a number, but instead valued as true human who cared about their client wellbeing.

If you are a loved one is in similar situation, I highly recommend Andy's law firm for representation since they take care of the legal issues and you focus on your or family health. PS: I did not pay anything upfront and recovered funds through a settlement with Auto insurance for my father

These attorneys helped my Mom with her accident claim. There were a lot of cars involved making the whole thing very confusing. Trying to deal with the different insurance companies and her injuries at the same time was too much. Andy, Jim and Kristin were all kind and professional. Good people. Highly recommend.

I cannot say enough about this firm and the way I have been treated the past year and a half. The caring and compassion and complete professionalism with which I was treated by everyone made my situation so much easier and I knew I was in good hands. Communication and responsiveness was terrific. From my first consultation with Andy Gillin, when I watched him greet each and every employee he walked near by name, to the time spent with Jim Larsen and his compassionate handling of my case and advocating for me, it was a wonderful experience in a not so wonderful situation. This firm and its people truly care and I could not recommend them more highly.

While going through something like having a loved one in an accident can be an extremely difficult and trying time, GJEL made things a lot easier. They were extremely helpful and understanding of our situation, while being professional and helping us to get the maximum amount we deserved.

Really disappointed! I called this firm this morning after I read reviews on google and yelp. I have sustained a disc bulge and an annular tear in my lower back and also my cervical region of the spine after a car accident. The receptionist informed me that this firm is not taking in soft tissue and whip splash cases and that they deal with more serious injuries.

This is quite interesting since an annular tear is not considered a soft tissue. The firm should cleaely specify on their website that they only take certain cases. Again, I am really disappointed with this law firm's screenings of what cases they take which is not shown on their website and potential clients need to know!

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend GJEL Accident Attorneys for any personal injury matter. Even if they can't take your case they will walk you through your best options. Everyone I have worked with at the firm has been very helpful.

I was recently involved in a motorcycle accident, in which I sustained some fairly serious injuries. Initially, I was unaware of the entire insurance claim process and all of the countless forms involved with filing a claim. Due to my injuries it made everything that much more difficult and confusing. To assist in navigating all of the paperwork and sorting out all of my options, I was referred to Andy Gillin, who was described as trustworthy and very knowledgeable.

He and the staff at GJEL Accident Attorneys were very responsive and professional. They answered all of my questions and made the process comfortable from start to finish. I would strongly recommend them to anyone needing and California personal injury attorney.

I came here looking for advice on if or if not I should go to law school and become a lawyer. Two of the lawyers here, Andy and Ralph, were very generous in giving advice and their experiences. From what I've heard and seen, this is a fantastic law firm. Andy is a great, down to earth guy, and I'd recommend him to any person who faces a problem. Very honest and realistic people here who are really there to help.

Andy, Bill and Cheryl - we are soo thankful and grateful for all your help with our case. You were all very responsive and always kept us informed of the progress. You definitely made things easier for us, especially during the recovery period. We would like to THANK YOU! If we ever need any legal advice or know of anyone that does, your law firm is on top of the list and will be recommended.

My 9yr old daughter was in a terrible accident that claimed the life of her father. It's been such a heartbreaking time and then having to deal with the auto insurance has been a nightmare. Andrew (Andy) gave me some legal advice he viewed the accident report and explained to me what I needed to do and he gave it to me straight, I didn't need an attorney.

He could of taken the case and gotten a 3rd of whatever my daughter got but instead he just walked me through it and told me what to say to the insurance and if I needed anymore advice he would gladly give it to me for free. Thank you Andy for your help, kindness and legal advice.

Andy and the firm really helped me through a difficult time. Their attention to detail, prompt service, and great advice got me through after my accident. Although I can never undo what happened to me hiring the firm was the best decision I made.

Andy did a fantastic job on my case. I was nervous but he was kind from the very beginning and helped ease my fears. He worked hard to make sure I got what I deserved and I always knew he had my best interests at heart. I am so thankful Andy and his office were there to help me out. I couldn't have done it without them.

After my wife was in a bad car accident on the 101 due to a truck driver not paying attention I knew I needed a lawyer. Let me just say I'm happy I found GJEL. Although going through a personal injury lawsuit can take some time I was always impressed with the service I got from Andy and his team. In the end I was very satisfied with our result and I highly recommend this firm to anyone needing a local San Jose Injury lawyer.
