Quality Representation

I am incredibly grateful for the outstanding legal assistance I received from my personal injury lawyer, James Finn Gavagan. His expertise and unwavering commitment to my case were truly remarkable. From the beginning, he demonstrated a deep understanding of personal injury law and guided me through ...the entire process with care and professionalism. Communication was always prompt and informative, ensuring I was well-informed at every step. James’ dedication to securing a favorable outcome was evident, and I could not be happier with the results. If you are in need of a personal injury lawyer, I wholeheartedly recommend his services. Thank you for your exceptional representation!

Lawyer Review

Atty Finn Gavagan represented me for injuries I suffered in a motor vehicle accident when I was hit by a drunk driver who then fled the scene. I had a great experience working with Finn. He was efficient, thorough and exceeded my expectations. I would highly recommend him.

Atty Finn Gavagan represented me for injuries I suffered in a motor vehicle accident, including fractures to both hands. This significantly impacted my life because I am a Orthodontic Assistant, and was unable to work for months after the accident. Finn worked tirelessly to successfully resolve my ...case as quickly and successfully as possible. He always returned my calls in a timely manner and answered all my question to my satisfaction. I would highly recommend him.

Highly recommend! A kind, thorough, patient, intelligent, and determined lawyer.

Attorney J. Finn Gavagan was an absolute joy to work with. He is patient, thorough, thoughtful, intelligent, determined, and kind. Attorney Gavagan represented me for injuries I suffered when I was a passenger in a motor vehicle accident that was a multi-car collision in Massachusetts. At the time I ...was living and being treated in New York, and before the case could be resolved, I had moved to Africa. But Attorney Gavagan worked diligently and really took the time to answer my questions and explain (and re-explain) the details of my case, regardless of which time-zone I was in. He made helpful recommendations, followed up regularly, and accommodated any communication challenges caused by the distance. He ultimately successfully resolved my case. I can’t recommend him enough, he’s really great!

Motor Vehicle Accident

Attorney J. Finn Gavagan represented me for injuries I sustained in a motor vehicle accident. This was a complex medical involved case. Attorney Gavagan communicated throughout the process helping me to navigate the legal and medical jargon. He was intelligent and thoughtful. Attorney Gavagan was ab...le to successfully resolve my case with an outcome that I was happy and content with. Without his guidance and determination I don't believe my case would have been resolved to my satisfaction. I would highly recommend him.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
