I can't attest to their legal services but the fact that they run a reimbursement program for the fourth of July is an ace in my book. The program encourages people to take a cab or ride share, instead of driving to minimize the chances of an accident, by reimbursing up to $15 of the fee. You'll need to RSVP to the Eventbrite event, pay for the ride upfront, then submit a form with a pic of your license (to verify that you're 21) and a pic of the ride receipt. The reimbursement was sent to my PayPal account the following day with no issues. Pretty sweet.

"We love fighting for the little guy." So says the GJEL.com website. And it may well be true. But only if the "little guy" sustains a catastrophic injury: paralysis; brain death; loss of a limb; burial six feet under. In other words, a cost-effective injury that's potentially worth big $$$.
If you or yours is lucky (rather, unlucky) enough to have such an injury, go ahead and contact this firm. Otherwise, don't waste their time or yours.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Charles C.San Jose, CA41281Aug 22, 2017
I was in a motorcycle accident 18 months ago and thought I could handle the aftermath of dealing with insurance and bills etc. I thought I was OK till the other parties insurance contacted me directly which put me in a weird spot that I didn't want to be in.
I searched for a lawyer right after the call and settled with GJEL.
I had an in person meeting at their offices in Orinda which was very nice and they said they would take care of everything and they did!
My attorney was able to negotiate a fair settlement for me and was also able to lower the amount that the insurance company was going to take from me too.
They were great with their communication and reaching out to me for updates and keeping me in the loop and easy to work with.
Don't get in an accident, but if you do, give these guys and gals a shot.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Brenda D.San Ramon, CA03Oct 12, 2016
I had a serious injury accident and I contacted the law office. Everyone that was involved, including the office staff and the investigators, were very professional and I was relieved that I found a law office that was going to unburden me with all the problems related to my accident. As the case unfolded I met with the attorneys and was confident that I had made the right choice.
The outcome of my case was above and beyond anything I could have ever expected.
I would highly recommend this law office to others in need of help.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Reena R.New York, NY158286120Mar 26, 2018
I used these guys to get a cab reimbursement on St. Patty's Day. I got my $25 within a couple days! Amazing!

Called today to speak to someone about a car accident. After explaining my story I was told by the legal assistant that Robert Dutton their PI would be calling me and asking a few follow up questions. When he called he was very abrupt and asked what he could help me with and I simply stated that Amy said he'd call and ask me a few questions and I wasn't sure why I needed to speak to him. He states "you called us what do you want." At that point I disconnected because WHY would I want to work with people who are rude when I haven't even paid them or signed an agreement yet!

I asked these lawyers if they could help me with a case that was outside their normal field of practice, just because I don't know any other lawyers. Not only did they agree to do it for me, but they did a great job. They are total professionals as well as being friendly and a pleasure to deal with.

We were in a car accident last year, and we didn't know what to do or who to call. We both sustained injuries, and we needed advice on that, too. My fiancée found this Team, and they took immediate action: they set us up with an investigator right away, they stayed in close contact with us about our injuries, they were patient and very respectful. And I don't think any team of lawyers could've done all this and got us the settlement we deserved. I recommend these guys to everyone who asks about an injury attorney.

We've worked with the law firm of GJEL Accident Attorneys in Orinda for nearly fifteen years. They're an exceptional law firm for several reasons: they feel for their clients and understand their needs; they look into every possible avenue of recovery; they consistently win large settlements even on doubtful liability cases; and they take the moment to show their appreciation--rare in the present climate. We've come to know the team well over the years, and these are people of integrity, invested in doing their best for their clients, and the people they work with.
