Andrew Gillin

Featured Lawyer

Personal Injury Law

1625 The Alameda, 511, San Jose, CA 95126

Attorney Andy Gillin is a founding partner of GJEL Accident Attorneys. Raised in Southern California, he moved north to attend U.C. Berkeley in the late 1960s. During his time at U.C. Berkeley, Andy studied under two distinguished legal scholars, Jacobus tenBroek and Al Bendich, whom he greatly admired. After Andy received his bachelor’s degree, he decided to attend the University of Chicago, where he received his Juris Doctor. Following graduation, he returned to the Bay Area and joined the San Mateo County Legal Aid Society. Through this opportunity, he began his legal career as a public service attorney, primarily working for low-income families and individuals. A couple of years later, Andy received a call from one of his previous mentors asking whether he’d be interested in personal injury law. Over time, personal injury became a primary focus as an extension for the work Andy did for people in need, leading to the founding of GJEL in 1972. During his career, Andy has written and lectured extensively on personal injury topics—including settlement strategies and trial practice—for several organizations. This includes the California Continuing Education of the Bar (CEB) as well as other professional groups. He even wrote a guide for young attorneys for the first hundred days of a major case published in the California Trial Lawyers Syllabus. Andy also has experience practicing in both state and federal courts and is an active member of many legal organizations, such as the American Association for Justice, the State Bar of California, and the California Trial Lawyers Association. Due to his impressive track record and dedication to ethical standards, Andy holds an AV Preeminent rating from Martindale-Hubbell. He has also been included in several top listings, including Super Lawyers and the Best Lawyers in America. Since starting GJEL, Andy has helped hundreds of injured plaintiffs fight for their recovery. With several case settlements and verdicts exceeding $1,000,000, Andy understands how life-changing personal injuries can be. One of his most notable cases, a class action against Tenet Healthcare Corporation, involved patients receiving unnecessary surgeries at Redding Medical Center in 2002. The lawsuit consisted of a total of 769 claims, 183 of which were brought by GJEL. Not only did GJEL clients receive $117 million in damages, but the lawsuit caused a major overhaul of Tenet’s corporate governance. Through this class action, Andy and the GJEL team were able to make a positive change to the operations and standards of Tenet, reducing the risk of similar injuries happening in the future. As managing partner, Andy spends his day consulting on all the different cases accepted by the firm, discussing strategies and tactics with his fellow partners. He loves being deeply involved with cases and collaborating with other attorneys at the firm. When he’s not in the office, he enjoys spending time with his friends and family and listening to classic rock music. You’ll likely find him walking around the neighborhood early in the morning listening to classics by Janis Joplin and The Youngbloods on his headphones.

Andrew J. Hill III

Personal Injury Law

440 College Ave, Suite 320, Athens, GA 30601

Athens personal injury attorney Drew Hill is committed to helping his clients fight for the justice and recovery they deserve after someone else?s negligence leaves them facing serious, long-lasting injuries. While his practice focuses on many different types of personal injury cases, including medical negligence and products liability, Drew also handles complex mass torts and truck accident cases. Over the course of his years in practice, he has successfully fought for and won multimillion dollar settlements and jury verdicts on behalf of his clients. He has worked tirelessly to hold hospitals and doctors, trucking companies and motor vehicle operators, nursing homes, medical device manufacturers, property owners, and other different parties accountable when their negligence has caused harm. Born in Charlotte, North Carolina, Drew moved at a young age to Georgia. There, he grew up in Lavonia in Franklin County with a father who was a small town, country attorney at a general practice firm. Says Drew, ?My father truly made a difference in the lives of our small town?s citizens of all races and stations in life, often taking little or no fee for his legal work. He also taught me that as an attorney, your word is your bond and to never act in such a way that your credibility is called into question.? With these notions serving as a guide, Drew attended the University of Georgia School of Law after first earning his A.B., cum laude, from the University of Georgia in 1974. In law school, Drew was a member of Phi Delta Phi, graduating cum laude with his J.D. in 1977. In the early years of his legal practice, Drew worked on the defense side of personal injury and wrongful death cases. He defended major insurance companies, hospitals, doctors, and product manufacturers before ultimately deciding to transition his practice to one of plaintiffs? representation. Now, at Blasingame, Burch, Garrard & Ashley, P.C., Drew represents injured victims and the family members and loved ones of people who were killed by another person or entity?s negligence. His background in defense allows him a greater understanding of how insurance companies, manufacturers, corporations, and other defendants operate in these types of cases. Drew uses this knowledge in order to craft strong cases on behalf of his clients. Drew?s commitment to excellence has earned him numerous awards and recognition. In 2007, he was elected a Fellow in the American College of Trial Lawyers, a membership that is limited to no more than the top 1% of trial attorneys from each state. He has also been recognized annually by the Best Lawyers in America®, as well as the Top Lawyers in Georgia. Drew is a member of the National Trial Lawyers Top 100 Trial Lawyers and has been selected for many years for inclusion in the Super Lawyers list. He has received the highest peer rating possible, an AV® Rating by Martindale-Hubbell, based on his commitment to high legal and ethical standards.
