Highest Integrity, Professionalism and Service I Have Ever Seen

Gil Hoy is an expert personal injury lawyer, without question. But he is also one of the most trustworthy and honest people I know. He went out of his way to get extra money for me for payment of my medical bills and didn't even charge me! Simply the BEST!!

Posted by anonymous | May 21, 2013 | Car Accidents

Trustworthy and Experienced Personal Injury Attorney

Attorney Gil Hoy did a great job handling my car accident case. After my accident, I researched lawyers online and came across Gil. I called his office and he walked me through the steps of how my case would proceed. He constantly kept me informed about how my case was going and what I could expect n...ext. He was very helpful and he seemed very experienced at what he does. I would definitely recommend Attorney Hoy to anyone who is in need of a good personal injury lawyer.

Great Client Service and Result

Very, very thorough knowledge about Massachusetts personal injury law. Great result. Most important, I think that he really cared about my case. Copied me on all correspondence and called often. Great!!

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
