"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.

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.

Timely, helpful at a stressful time

Mr. Gillin was a wonderful help in a time of stress and fear surrounding the auto accident I was in. He and his staff kept me informed at all times, explained everything that was happening and that could happen during the case as well as repsonded to all of my many questions in a very kind and timely... manner. I would recommend Mr. Gillin whole heartedly to anyone. His manners are very professional as well as kind and sympathetic. I give him and his staff my highest recommendation.

The best lawyer I've ever had!

Very bad things can suddenly happen to very good people. I was seriously injured when a truck suddenly seemed to come out of nowhere and hit me as I was crossing the street on foot. It didn't take long for me to realize that I was in no shape to deal with the aftermath of the accident myself. I ne...eded to focus all my energy on healing and getting back on my feet. I asked friends for recommendations and Andrew Gillin's name came up more than once. I am so glad I found Andrew Gillin! From our very first conversation he put my mind at ease, and has dealt with every detail of my case with the kind of thoughtful professionalism and personal concern that is truly rare. In a very bad situation Andrew's vast experience and knowledge made all the difference in the recovery for my case. Andrew Gillin has my highest recommendation.
