Thanks GJEL!

Thank you GJEL Accident Attorneys for the NYE Taxi ride reimbursement program. Much better system - where you sign up before and then submit your receipt, including Lyft and Uber receipts - than it used to be!

They ate not just there to help yippy of you get into trouble. They are committed to preventing DUI's as well. You GJEL, for the fast ride home on NYE!

It’s nice to have a local law firm that gives back to the community!!

The personal injury attorneys at GJEL do their part to keep our community safe on holidays.

I have been a personal injury lawyer for more than 35 years and when I was injured in an auto accident, even though I know dozens of good lawyers, I hired Larry Rothstein to represent me. Larry is an exceptional litigator and was able to negotiate an excellent out-of-court settlement in my case. He is very attentive to clients’ needs, knows what makes insurance companies pay what’s due to injured clients, and will fight for what is right. I cannot more highly recommend Larry as the lawyer to hire if anyone is injured as a result of a car accident or any other type of negligence. He is the best!

One rainy evening during a visit to San Francisco I slipped going down a hill on an unsafe utility door in the middle of a sidewalk. The fall resulted in three bone fractures, a torn ligament & the total destruction of the cartilage in my left ankle. The surgeon who put in the plate and screws to repair & stabilize my ankle told me that I was left with debilitating arthritis which was likely to worsen unless I got additional surgery to replace the ankle with an artificial joint. Knowing that my lifestyle would be permanently changed--I used to be an avid runner for example--I decided to search online for an injury attorney in the SF area. After reading reviews for Larry and for other lawyers, I gave Larry a call, and that turned out to be an excellent decision. Because we are on opposite coasts, much of the work with him was done by phone and by email, though I did go out to speak with him in person several times. I found him to be very cordial and amicable, while at the same time very serious and persistent about pursuing my case. I had no prior experience with litigation, and Larry was very patient and helpful each step of the way, explaining the purpose of everything he was working on and any information he needed me to provide for him. He explained the importance of being patient, and making sure all the t's were crossed and the i's were dotted, making sure that he had a copy of all of my case-related medical and work loss documentation to present to the defense counsel when the time came. When it was time for the mediation, Larry was well prepared and well organized, and in the end I was very pleased with the settlement he negotiated for me. I would highly recommend his services (and in fact have already done so for a friend) to anyone who is hoping for the best chance at a favorable outcome to their case.

I have know Larry for a number of years and have always been impressed with his knowledge of personal injury cases and his dedication to his clients. When I finally needed an attorney after an auto accident, I was confident that he would give my case a thorough professional analysis and that I could rely and trust his advice regarding preparing and resolving my case. He did not disappoint my confidence in him and I would absolutely use him again if I was in the unfortunate situation of being involved in another auto accident.

I was very satisfied with your firms handling of my case. You were always quick to respond to my emails and phone calls. Thank you for your expertise, your guidance and professional assistance. I was very pleased with the outcome of the settlement of my case and I would definitely refer my friends and family to your firm.

Dear Andy, Someone must have been watching over me that day I found your name in the yellow pages. I didn’t even know if I had a case or not. You assured me that I did. My life was changed significantly, when on my daughter’s birthday, I accepted a ride from a friend. He had told me that he had had a drink, but not more than that, and that he was fine to drive. We left to pick up a to-go order at a local restaurant. On the return trip, he tried to answer his cell phone, turn a corner, and accelerate from a stop at a traffic light all at once. He ran into a tree. We weren’t going fast, but the airbag really injured me. I spend the night in the hospital, and had several broken ribs. I was in alot of pain. I lost alot of work, and alot of money. As a single mom, that really impacted my life, as well as that of my daughter. Then the final straw: the guy’s insurance company refused to pay my bills. My stress level soared! I hired you, and you took the load off my shoulders, and did all the work for me. You got me the max you could get, and it changed my life in a way that I will never forget. I got to set myself up in a business that allows me the time and energy to be a better mom for my child. My stress level has significantly diminished. I never would have been able to do this without his help. My appreciation is beyond words. Thank you!

Larry was extremely knowledgeable in his area of expertise, and kept me informed and up to date from start to finish. Larry first helped me with an auto accident some years back and most recently regarding a dog bite case. I have referred friends and family to Larry over the years and would hire him again in the future.

I am going to preface this review by telling you that I am not always the "easiest" person to deal with but Mr. Rothstein completely respected my thoughts and wishes and was always on my side even if I didn't always agree with him. He strategically prepped me for my meeting with the "opposition" bringing up some issues that I would end up being questioned about that I hadn't even thought of, he returned e-mails promptly and listened to me even when I was clearly frustrated and just needed to vent. He brought up extremely salient points and really helped me to flesh out what I wanted vs. what my emotions were telling me to do. He is very logical, compassionate, smart, easy to work with and never condescending. And, I always felt I was in capable hands since Larry does all of the work himself vs. at some other firms where the lead attorney isn't necessarily the one who handles your case.
