I cannot recommend GJEL Accident Attorneys enough. I worked with both Andy Gillin and Jim Larsen. I am extremely grateful that I found them after suffering a horrific bike accident in September 2020. My accident left me bedridden for 3 months and required 2 ankle surgeries. The entire legal team was caring, reliable and honest, which is rare these days. They got me the best possible settlement from my bike accident.
