also known as Andy Gillin
Andy Gillin received his Bachelor's Degree from the University of California at Berkeley, and his law degree from the University of Chicago. "We love to fight for the little guy," Andy says of his firm GJEL Accident Attorneys. Each of the firm's partners started their careers in public service, and while their cases have gotten larger and more complex along the way, that hasn't changed the firm's focus. GJEL clients don't pay a penny unless they win.
Plaintiff Magazine profiled Andy in its April 2010 edition, naming GJEL Accident Attorneys "one of the area's top civil litigation firms." The firm was also featured on the cover of San Francisco Magazine's "Best Lawyers in America" August 2009 edition. With over $600 million in verdicts and settlements, the firm is on every short list of top plaintiff's auto accident and personal injury firms in California.

I was a passenger and involved in a head on vehicle collision. Andy insisted that I go to his spine specialist for an evaluation. They discovered a herniated disc in my lower back and spearheaded the rehabilitation process. As a self employed person, the legal issues were challenging as well. At the ...

In a difficult situation Andrew Gillin fought long and hard to assure that the Health Insurance company involved did not take all of my settlement money. This was a ridiculously hard case because the defendant was under insured and my medical expenses were very high.

Mr. Gillen took care of every single problem and question that I had throughout the whole process.
