Personal injury lawyers often receive criticism, but the personal injury lawyers Gillen, Jacobson, Ellis, Larsen, and Lucey, who make up the firm GJEL, put any notions of that sort to rest. In honor of their work, GJEL has been recognized by the San Francisco Examiner as one of the top Bay Area law firms.

The firm's success stories have resulted in both courtroom victories and generous settlements for its clients. Although past outcomes do not guarantee present successes, the firm's track record, at the very least, shows its determination to exceed what is required by the canons. The firm is also dedicated to educating the public about that to which it is entitled in the case of personal injury or death.

Personal injury lawsuits can be stressful. GJEL strives to make the process as hassle-free as possible as can be seen by the various testimonials the firm provides. To that end, the firm will maintain communication with all applicable insurance companies, liaise with police departments, collect evidence germane to its clients' cases, and hold negotiations with other interested parties.

As conscientious personal injury attorneys, the firm makes no guarantees. It does, however, pursue all possible avenues toward a successful conclusion to its clients' cases.

California law has some complexities that might hinder someone's case. For example, shared fault means that even one of the firm's clients might have some culpability for any accident that causes the personal injury. Any damages awarded by the court would then be reduced by a percentage equal to the person's share of the fault.

A good example would be a person not checking for oncoming traffic despite having a green light. Someone then runs the red light in the other direction. The person who didn't look could be held to be a tiny bit responsible for the accident, although this is not assured.

As the best Bay Area personal injury law firm, GJEL has shown that it is fully aware of and informed about these intricacies of California law. For that reason, the firm is well-placed to argue on its clients' behalf in all manner of personal injury law. There will be times, however, when someone dies.

In these cases of wrongful death lawsuits, there are other things to consider in addition to shared fault. There are also federal and local ordinances to consider. How each law affects each other law, and which supersedes which, is something best left to the best lawyers in San Francisco. GJEL is proud to have been included in this group.

Wrongful death lawyers must be the most compassionate, understanding, and kind lawyers there are. Their clients will be distraught, frustrated, and seemingly lost. GJEL has shown just these kind and understanding qualities in the past.

The best thing to do when considering which personal injury lawyers or wrongful death lawyers to hire is to check references, speak with former clients, if permissible, and to look at a firm's professional associations, accomplishments, and history of results. GJEL has a proud history of both results and professional awards, and this latest naming as the best lawyers in San Francisco just lends credence to the point.

Winter Park, FL (release-news.com) August 03, 2022 - Individuals who aren’t happy with an adverse or unsatisfactory verdict they received may be tempted to file an appeal. And while it may seem logical to work with the trial lawyer who already knows your case, it’s actually better to hire a different lawyer, one who specializes in appeals. Below, the criminal appeal lawyers at Brownstone Law explain why hiring a lawyer who specializes in appeals is the way to go:

Trial lawyers often have tunnel vision that prevents them from utilizing theories and legal precedent that could help bring a positive outcome. An appeal requires different legal skill sets and knowledge of procedural laws. “While trial lawyers have experience in trial litigation, criminal appeal lawyers know the rules and regulations related to appellate procedures. An appeal lawyer must know when to file a Notice of Appeal or Notice of Discretionary Review, how to research and write an appellate brief, how to analyze records for potential appellate issues, etc. Appellate procedures also involve strict deadlines that (if missed) can impact the course of the trial,” says a spokesperson for Brownstone Law.

Appellate litigation involves preparing thoroughly researched briefs, and these are used to convince the appeals court that there exist legal, material, or procedural errors that justify a remedy. Criminal appeals lawyers primarily focus on the fairness of the trial. This is different from what a trial lawyer does, as their job is to build and present the case, i.e. they must introduce evidence, build records, and establish relevant factors.

Besides, trial lawyers are busy professionals who do not have the time to poor over and analyze hundreds of pages of trial transcripts and exhibits. Appellate lawyers spend hours deliberating over records to develop a compelling appellate argument.

“Of course, the trial lawyer’s insight is invaluable. In fact, working with an appellate lawyer during a trial can be a huge advantage, as it ensures that the case is properly set up for appeal, should one be needed,” the spokesperson adds. Criminal appeal lawyers at the Brownstone Law Firm often co-counsel with trial lawyers to protect records and make objections during trial.

About Brownstone Law Firm:

Brownstone Law is an appellate litigation law firm focusing on appeals in federal courts across the United States. The firm’s criminal appeal lawyers have handled hundreds of appeals in various state and federal courts, and they’ve reviewed civil and criminal cases.

San Jose, CA. (Oct. 18, 2021) -- GJEL has been recognized as Best Lawyers and Best Law Firms for 2022 by Best Lawyers and US News & World Report.

Best Lawyers is a peer review publication that recognizes attorneys and law firms that are leaders in the industry. The peer review methodology is designed to capture professional attorneys’ opinions about their colleagues in their respective practice and geographical areas.

The process to win the Best Law Firms award requires the winner to be nominated by individuals not employed by the firm. The nominations are peer reviewed by currently recognized lawyers who assess the impact of the reported firm’s work. Then the feedback is analyzed and the firm’s credentials and its good standing with the local bar association is confirmed. Finally, Best Lawyers releases the winners of the year’s awards.

The Best Law Firm award is practice area and location-specific. The Best Lawyers review method considers hundreds of factors when selecting the year’s winner. These factors include:

• Comments from attorneys previously recognized by Best Lawyers;
• The firm’s impact in its specific practice area;
• Review of the firm’s previous Best Lawyers awards, including Lawyer of the Year; and
• Analysis of the firm’s expertise in its practice area.

GJEL received recognition for its California-based personal injury litigation - plaintiffs practice area, as well as its mass tort litigation/class actions - plaintiffs practice area. In these practice areas, GJEL represents victims of negligence and other tortious conduct; attorneys fight for clients to receive fair compensation. GJEL’s other practice areas include torts like hit-and-run car accidents and wrongful death claims.

GJEL is proud to receive this recognition from our colleagues from a national reviewer like Best Lawyers.
