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.

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 imp...ression 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.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • 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.
