GJEL Accident Attorneys was founded in 1972 by Andy Gillin and Ralph Jacobson, two former Legal Aid lawyers. The firm focuses on representing individuals and families in serious personal injury and wrongful death cases throughout California. Since its inception, GJEL has emphasized a commitment to quality over quantity, aiming to provide personalized attention to each client.

The firm handles a range of personal injury matters, including car, truck, motorcycle, bicycle, and pedestrian accidents. They also represent clients with brain injuries, paralysis injuries, and cases involving dangerous roads or defective products. GJEL operates on a contingency fee basis, meaning clients do not pay upfront legal fees and are only charged if the firm secures a win or settlement. This arrangement allows individuals to pursue claims against large insurance companies and corporate defendants regardless of their income level.

GJEL Accident Attorneys has recovered over $980 million for clients and maintains a 99% success rate in the cases they accept. The firm's legal team includes in-house investigators and accident reconstruction expertise. They offer free and confidential case reviews and provide home and hospital visits for client convenience. The firm serves clients across 17 offices in Northern California and offers services in Spanish.
