In 2018, my wife and I were in a catastrophic auto collision. While in Harborview for 8 weeks the paper deluge from the insurance companies started. We needed help. We contacted Bill McGonagle and his team for help. Little did we know that we would be spending four years with Bill and his team to resolve our complex multi-party and multiple insurance company personal injury litigation. While there are no real winners when severe injuries are involved, Bill and his team were always there for us. Each and every step of the way they offered great counsel and advice and were terrific advocates with each of the opposing parties (there were several entities involved).
I would strongly recommend William McGonagle and his great team if you or a loved one are involved in an auto accident.
I hired William as my lawyer to help settle a auto accident where I had suffered some serious medical issues. This had happened prior to the Covid shutdowns. The office was informative on keeping me updated on progress, what steps where next and what they could expect from me. I felt like my concerns in the whole process were heard and handled in a way that was outstanding. This was a super emotional recovery for me and I couldn't have asked for a better firm to help navigate the legality of things I never thought I would ever have to deal with. Outstanding business practice. Would recommend this office of lawyers to anyone looking.

Successful outcome - personal injury lawsuit
On a recommendation, we hired Bill Mcgonagle to represent us in connection with a personal injury lawsuit. Even though the process took about 3.75 years from first the first meeting until the conclusion, we received assurances & updates along the way, and Mr. Mcgonagle and the staff were available to us whenever we needed any questions answered. It seemed easy to get time to discuss the case with Bill when we felt it was necessary, especially to get his input and assurances everything was being handled in a timely manner and that things were moving along as we anticipated. We opted to first go through the process of mediation to see if the case could be settled. Bill and another attorney in his office, Colleen Mriglot, worked tirelessly on our behalf for several hours of mediation and we were able to strike an amenable decision and the lawsuit came to a successful end result ... in our minds.

Much Appreciation for an excellent Team!
I have known Bill Mcgonagle for many years, and value him as a friend, and as my attorney. This is the 2nd accident in 40 years I have unfortunately been involved in involving an uninsured motorist and Bill has represented me. I was going 55 on a Highway when a car failed to stop at the sign and hit me. My car was totaled, and my son and I were injured.
Bill, Wendy, and Chris were so professional and yet so caring to help my son and I navigate through the injuries, auto insurance, and medical situations, while also dealing with the Covid Pandemic.
Bill and his team helped manage the best possible outcome from my insurance company. I highly recommend them.

Car accident
This was my first experience with a lawyer. I didn't have a clue about anything. McGonagle's team made me feel comfortable about every step in the process of getting me a fair settlement. I worked directly with lawyers, Bill McGonagle and Chris Ray. Their paralegal, Wendy, communicated with me throughout the process. My experience was stress free!

Review of Service
William McGonagle represented my mother in a personal injury case. He was very understanding and patient with us. Mr. McGonagle gave my mother sound advice, he guided her in her quest for a settlement that was appropriate for her injuries. He and his staff explained the process, and made it easier for my mom to make informed decisions about what was best for her. He listened to our concerns and explained the choices in language that gave us confidence. She reached a settlement with the insurance company that was appropriate for her injuries. We feel Mr. McGonagle is a very good attorney and she is very happy to have found him, and very satisfied with the outcome in her case.

Comprehensive, patient, top-notch service!
Just wanted to take a few minutes and give a shout out to the folks at Sherrard McGonagle Tizzano & Lind. My family needed legal representation and they came highly recommended by a friend. It was our first experience with a personal injury lawyer and we were all naive about the process, not sure how to proceed, and a little hesitant when we met, but they made every step of the way very painless. They were very patient in explaining each step, careful to explain our options, coordinating a multi-pronged issue with numerous insurance companies, and were respectful of our wishes at all times. We could not have asked for a better firm to represent us. Highly recommend!

Very impressed with Mr. McGonagle and his office.
I was in a motor vehicle accident (mva) in Dec of 2012. I was directed to Mr. McGonagle by a friend of mine who is an attorney. I was pleased with the amount of communication they provided, the information about the process, and their genuine concern for my overall health. I never once got the impression there was anything else other than my health as a priority. When I felt the fatigue of all of the rehab, Dr. appointments, frustration of not getting better, their office was a great encouragement to me to press on and not give up on my health and care. I was looking to settle, but they knew better. I'm grateful for their help and advocacy. If you are looking for a professional, knowledgeable, caring, involved, and an office that get's results, I would highly recommend Mr. McGonagle and his office. Mr. McGonagle's paralegal, Wendy Shanahan, is professional, knowledgeable, prompt, and clear in all of her communication with me. Can't recommend them enough.

Highly recommended for his experience
I can highly recommend Mr. McGonagle after he helped me settle my personal injury case successfully. I was treated with respect and concern by Mr. McGonagle and his staff. He is a very experienced, thorough attorney and this was obvious as the case proceeded.

William McGonagle - Highly Recommended
I was involved in a car accident in June 2004, where the driver at fault had no insurance. Our automobile policy included personal injury protection and underinsured motorists coverage. In the fall of 2007, my insurance company called with an offer to settle my claim. The amount was extremely low and it didn't even cover my out-of-pocket expenses.
The next day, I called Mr. McGonagle's office. I talked with a paralegal and an appointment was setup for the consultation. My husband and I, will all my paperwork regarding the accident, met with Mr. McGonagle. We left the office knowing that this was the right decision. This attorney was intelligent, well informed and this gave me confidence in him and his staff. Mr. McGonagle's office began working immediately and filed a lawsuit against my insurance company. He and his staff are competent and very much aware and educated in their field. They also possess excellent resources and expert witnesses/specialists. It was at the request of one of their specialists that I have a digital motion xray of my neck. The results of this xray truly showed how damaged my neck was from the accident.
Instead of going to trial, a panel of three arbitrators were to decide the outcome of the lawsuit. Mr. McGonagle came well prepared and actually knew more than the insurance company's testimonial experts.
All of the work came to a very successful outcome. The arbitrators ruled in my favor.

Very pleased with results
Mr. McGonagle is very experienced. He tells you like it is, the good and the bad, which helps you be more realistic about what to expect. I have heard of his many good trial results, but in my case I wanted to settle rather than go through trial. I am confident that Mr. McGonagle maximized my recovery by presenting the facts in the most favorable light to my claim.
