This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Knowledgeable and great communicator

John Golroy was straightforward with his communication with our family member while working seperate cases in 3 counties. He was responsive to questions, changing situations and specific needs.

Wonderful Attorney's

John was there for me in my time of need. He offered sound advice and got me the best possible outcome. I never felt judged or looked down upon. I feel confident telling anyone who is scared or unsure of what to do next to turn to Gilroy and Napoli, they will help you in any way that they can and ...they have a track record that proves it.

Amazing lawyer

I had a court case in Washington county and I hired John Gilroy as my attorney. He was extremely helpful, and guided me through the process professionally and to the best of his abilities. He was knowledgeable and driven with regards to my case and really put his all into defending me. I felt like I ...was in good hands and could reach him at any time with questions about the case. I would describe john as stern, honest, and unrelenting. I would not be where I am today with Johns help and I am forever grateful.

The amount I saved from his thinking outside of the box and directing me clearly on what to do covered more than his fees

I used John Gilroy with Gilroy & Napoli to represent me in a very complex and multi-faceted case. I travelled from Hawaii to deal with my case and made a point to interview several different firms. I felt instantly comfortable with John and his staff and never felt judged or looked down upon. Sinc...e I live across the Pacific Ocean and am not in state to deal with this legal matter, finding the right lawyer and firm was essential. My requirements were the following: knowledge of the law, loads of experience, amicable connections, excellent communication, likability, cost and ability to think outside the box. John Gilroy far exceeded my expectations on all accounts. His resume, experience and knowledge of the legal system are outstanding and his contacts and connections saved me both time and money. The amount I saved from his thinking outside of the box and directing me clearly on what to do covered more than his fees; I ended up saving money by using Gilroy and Napoli. He’s also a very nice guy. This may not seem important; however, having a lawyer who has a good reputation among his peers and colleagues is necessary. Many lawyers will reference that they know everyone in the system, but he genuinely does. His professional history outlines it and my experience proves it. I highly recommend John Gilroy and Gilroy & Napoli.

Lawyer and new friend

John Gilroy is a very trustworthy and helpful even for an out-of-state client. I live outside of Oregon and used John for a DUII case. From the beginning John listened to me and made me feel comfortable. He reassured me that he would take the best care possible and he followed through with that unti...l the end of my case. My worries and concerns were eliminated because I was always informed of what was going on behind the scenes. I got a very great deal on my case thanks to John Gilroy. Amazing gentlemen.

  • 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.
