Michael John Gannon did an excellent job in settling my case. He also made me feel very comfortable in all of our meetings. Michael John Gannon's professional services were excellent and I would and have recommended his services to my family & friends!
Mike received his B.A. degree from the State University of New York at Binghamton (Harpur College) in 1978. He obtained his J.D. degree from Indiana University in 1983 and served a legal clerkship in the federal courts in Indianapolis in 1983 and 1984. Mike then returned to Vermont to practice law. For the first half of his career, Mike represented insurance companies. He was principal Vermont counsel for many of the largest insurance companies.
Mike now represents injured parties seeking compensation and his previous experience on behalf of insurance companies gives him unique insight into resolving cases and maximizing recovery. Mike is one of the most successful trial lawyers in the state, having had well over 100 jury trials.

Michael Gannon, My Attorney and Friend.
Mike has been my attorney and friend for approximately 12 years. He has diligently fought for me in truly hopeless cases with remarkable results. He is extremely honest and forthright in dealing with clients. I highly recommend him to anyone needing an exceptional attorney.

Michael was the undeniable key to getting our case resolved! His down to earth manner of communication made a very difficult and stressful situation much more understandable for us. Michael was brought in to handle one specific portion of our case, but very quickly became a much more integral asset. We began having ethical concerns with our primary attorney and his honesty/intentions with our case. We consulted with Michael (had already been hired to handle another portion of the case) to see if our concerns were valid and how to act accordingly. He very quickly informed us of an attorney that would be much better suited to handle our case and how to go about making the change. We were down to the 11th hour and our primary attorney had not done anything. Thanks to Michael and the new attorney he referred us to, we were able to resolve our case three months after we followed his advise. Michaels knowledge of the law, involvement within the legal community, and down to earth demeanor make him an exceptional attorney. We are indebted to him always and have the utmost respect for him!

We could not have asked for more…
My family and I faced a tragic loss. We were distraught. We had no idea where to turn. I randomly chose Michael Gannon from the white pages. It was the best decision I could have every made. Not only was he competent and ethical, he was compassionate and genuinely concerned for my family’s wellbeing.
He and his staff did all they could to make sure our needs both legally and emotionally were met. My family and I would highly recommend Michael Gannon to anyone looking for a superb lawyer and genuinely sympathetic, kindhearted person.

"Attorney Gannon is a fierce advocate for his clients. I know this from having litigated against him. He is thorough and aggressive in his ambition to secure the best possible result for his clients. It is never just a process of "going through the motions." His zealous advocacy and tenacious work effort on behalf of this clients would not allow for such an approach.
