Behind every number is a family that got to move forward.

The difference

Better at helping you get better.

At GJEL Accident Attorneys, our attorneys are better at helping you get better. Every case we take gets personalized attention from our staff. At GJEL you’re not just a number.

We only take on a small number of cases at any time, so we can maximize your recovery. Catastrophic injury cases require extraordinary attention to detail, and the only way to allow for that focus is to be extremely selective.

Free consultations whenever and wherever is most convenient for you, and you pay nothing unless we win.

What sets us apart

What sets GJEL apart.

Our discipline is a constant emphasis on quality over quantity. Being selective is what gives us the time to work every aspect of a case, and the extra fight needed to overcome the resources corporate defendants and insurance companies bring.

We will tell you straight if we cannot help. If GJEL is not the right firm for your case, we will do our best to point you toward other legal resources.

Behind the scenes

We handle the details so you can heal.

People go through a lot after an injury, emotionally and physically, and the number of medical specialists our clients see is often overwhelming.

That is where GJEL’s staff comes in. We let our clients focus on what is really important, their health. While you do that, we:

Set up appointments with doctors and medical specialists who will provide the best care
Coordinate accident investigations
Communicate with your health insurance company
Follow up with the insurer of the person who hit you, and with your own
Obtain investigative reports and medical records
Help with property damage on your car or motorcycle, and with securing a rental vehicle

In a nutshell, we handle all the details of your case so that you can focus on your health and your family. We welcome any and all questions about individual cases.

We return all phone calls immediately and solve every problem we can, whether or not it is directly related to the case. We maintain friendships with our clients long after we have won their cases.
