My father once told me if I ever hired an attorney and he wasn't an a..hole, fire him. I'm glad I didn't heed his advice. I've twice needed personal injury representation and hired GJEL Accident Attorneys. The people there, from the reception desk to the partners, are all nice people. I was kept in the loop for every turn in the both cases. I was supported when my technology skills were lacking. All my questions during the process were answered and I always learned something. In both cases, the results were better than I expected. I would definitely recommend this firm to anyone who has had the misfortune of needing representation in an injury case.

I was injured in a car accident & after having no luck getting threw to the other persons insurance company, my insurance company not being any help either, months of nothing, I reached out for their help. Their team is amazing, very professional & friendly. They put me at ease in a very uncomfortable situation for me. They where very flexible & understanding with my schedule of working 3 Jobs & made all appointments convenient for me. My first meeting with them they actually came to me at one of my jobs during my lunch break. They where always communicating with me & honesty made me feel like I was top priority. I'm so very glad I went with them, not only did they get threw to the insurance company, they got me a rent a car in the mean time, the insurance company wanted to settle & I'm very glad I took the advice of my Attorney & didn't, because we won my case & I was compensated very nicely in the end. I didn't pay anything out of pocket, the fee's came out of the settlement. I was/am so Impressed with everything about them.

I highly recommend Luke, Andy, Jim, Ralph, and Kristin if you ever need to hire a personal injury lawyer. Ever since i started working with them they have been professional, responsive, and overall easy to communicate with. I can't thank them enough and their west San Jose office is beautiful.

I highly recommend the San Jose personal injury lawyers at GJEL. They are friendly, responsive, and easy to work with!

Andy and the attorneys at GJEL have been nothing but amazing. If you need to hire a personal injury lawyer and you asked me who to hire, I would recommend GJEL Accident Attorneys in San Jose

John Garvey III is an exceptional lawyer. Jonh helped me at the hardest time in my entire life, while my daughters life was weighing in the balance. By the grace of God I'm still a mom today. John listened and handled my extremely emotional case with integrity, compassion, and honesty. He advised us and provided the best outcome for me and my family. I appreciate him, and his service and humongous kudos to Diane his assistant too!! Great Team. Highly recommend John Garvey III

My family and I wish to thank John and his staff for all they did for us in our personal injury case. John personally walked me through the entire process, and made sure I knew what to expect when I was giving my deposition. John used only the very best people to prove my case and as such left the defendants attorney with little option but to settle the case. James Mc Guire .

I felt like David going up against an evil Goliath. Thank God I found Garvey!! He certainly evened the playing field!! His results were way beyond my expectations. He, Diane & Anaida get an A++ from me!!!

Great service

Dunnion Law firm was instrumental in helping me navigate the legal aspect of my car accident. I had never been in an accident and they took care of everything. They communicated regularly and were transparent in everything they did. I felt like I had someone on my side whereas before I was totally alone. It helped my piece of mind. I cannot reiterate enough how amazing their service was.

Definitely a Five Star ***** Company Dunnion Law handled my claim with care, professionalism, expertise, and compassion. Without Dunnion Law and there knowledge of the law I would not of settled my claim so quickly. I knew I was in very capable hands and was very comfortable with Dunnion Law and all there staff. I cannot recommend a more trusted company.

I would highly recommend Dunnion Law for their knowledge, integrity and patience. I received a free consultation which was very valuable to me. I spoke with Dennis who was patient, kind and explained my options clearly, which enabled me to make wise decisions.

Amazing service!!! I was a passenger in a car that collided with another vehicle. Within two days, I contacted Dunnion and they sent someone to to my home (this was pre-Covid of course) to check on my wellbeing that afternoon. Following that initial conversation, I was contacted by Dinis Delja. Dinis and his staff were vigilant and attentive to my needs and well being. They were prompt in their responses to my inquiries, patiently addressed all of my concerns, and they were always up front and crystal clear about the process and my options. They took their time and ensured that I received the best outcome, under my circumstances, which exceeded my expectations. I wish I could give them 10 stars but 5 will have to do. I will definitely recommend them to anyone in need of such services.

In December, 2018, I was involved in a very serious automobile accident that was not my fault. My car was totaled. Shortly after my accident, I contacted the Dunnion Law Firm based on T.V. ads and excellent online reviews. I requested that Glenda de Guzman represent me. I was fortunate to have Glenda and her firm agree to take my case. Glenda started my case by sending an investigator to obtain an oral history of the accident. The interview was very through. Jennifer Brown her Legal Secretary and Paige Hawkins Legal Assistant were in frequent contact to schedule phone consultations and request needed documents. Jennifer was always available to respond to my questions. During each procedure, Glenda would explain clearly what she was doing and to make sure I understood. Her expertise was invaluable. Due to her legal acumen, Glenda was able to conclude my case and obtain a good settlement. The settlement allowed me to pay off my new car loan. I am extremely grateful to Glenda, her legal team and the Dunnion Law Firm. ~Carla Lujan

I was unfortunately involved in an accident with a company truck making an illegal U-turn. Southwest Legal Group was referred to me by a family member and I'm glad I took their advice. The staff was very attentive to my questions and they are also bilingual which was a great benefit to my previous family members who worked with them. The case did take some time but after I sat with the attorney I understood what really goes on with bigger accidents that doesn't allow them to be resolved instantly. I appreciate all the help they were able to provide me and my case.

I was involved in a terrible accident 6/12/12 and I didn't know what to do. My friend recommended Southwest Legal Group and I'm glad he did. I'm happy with the settlement I received. It took longer than I expected but I received more than I thought I would get. So it balanced out and I have nothing to complain about. Service was good and every time I called in my questions were answered.

Last year I was in a bad accident and was referred to Southwest Legal Group. I was very impressed with all the help they provided for me. I was more than grateful with the settlement they gave me and I definitely recommend Southwest Legal Group for any of your personal injury needs.

Braid took on a very tough Insurance company on my behalf. Their client was 100% at fault, but they still tried to stonewall and low ball me on a settlement. Through patience and perseverance, Braid got me a great settlement. I highly recommend him.

I am from Japan. I was in Silicon Valley / Santa Clara County with my husband and family for two years. My husband works for a Japanese company and was on a temporary business assignment. I had occasion to consult with attorney Braid Pezzaglia. I enjoyed working with him. Although English is not my first language, he is easy to communicate with and takes time to explain details and reasoning. I always felt he had a genuine interest not only as to my matter but also with me and my family on a personal level. I highly recommend anyone to consult with Mr. Pezzaglia if they have legal needs.

I am now retired, having worked in media in Tokyo Japan. My focus was on economy and emerging technologies and related trends. I have known attorney Braid Pezzaglia and his families for many years, both professionally and personally. I have found them to be knowledgeable, honest and reputable. Mr. Pezzaglia is a local attorney in Silicon Valley California specializing in personal injury cases such as car accidents. He is able to effectively navigate matters of local concern. I had covered many US japan trade and industrial frictions such as IBM espionage scandals. In tkose cases I was helped by both side attornies. So I recommend you should have good attorney friends who understand society and cultures in both countries.I do not hesitate to recommend consulting with him.

I have known Braid Pezzaglia and his firm's associates for a couple years now. They handle personal injury cases including car accidents. They are easy to talk with and are responsive. I feel like they have a genuine interest in their clients as people as well as the matters they work on. I highly recommend anyone to consult with Braid if they have an injury case to discuss.

Braid guided my elderly parents through the legal maze of deciding the best course of action on an auto accident claim that could have led to a savings-draining lawsuit. Never having dealt before with this situation, both my parents and I were unaware of how to navigate the legalities of claims and counterclaims, etc. Mr. Pezzaglia skillfully guided us, patiently explaining our options and working with the insurance attorney behind the scenes to negotiate a reasonable settlement. Since I live out of state, It gave me great confidence to know my parents were receiving ethical and professional assistance in their case. His fees are quite reasonable as well. He has my highest recommendation.
