Fine company for someone seeking a lawyer, but DO NOT work for them. The Human Resources woman there is extrordinarily unfriendly, rude, and never returns emails, and will then give you a write up for going to her office to speak with her when you aren't able to get in touch with her! Also, anytime an email or other written document discussing policys within the employee handbook mysteriously disappear from employee email accounts. Trust me, anytime that an employee challenges something quoted from the handbook that was incorrect or not stated in the document, all of the proof that HR or your supervisor gave you false information will vanish. Then it's your word against theirs and guess whose side they take?
On top of that, the atmosphere itself functions like cliques in high school and is uncomfortably racist. The few non-white employees there are paid significantly less, get passed over for projects that given to less experienced employees, get hounded by the HR witch over policy infractions that never have proof of having occured, and are just overall treated poorly. Extremely dissapointed in this firm's team.

My mother’s asbestos case was going well until her passing. Now Medicaid has had a hold on everything and nothing has been released since her passing in May! Seven months. While we’ve notarized and mailed back over a dozen offers. Nothing. Me and my two sisters are suffering in poverty while it could easily be dissolved under hardship as it’s the only asset we have from her and we are all living in poverty awaiting it.

The deposition was a scary thing for my husband Leroy to face. Michael Thronberry was a gods send for us..He took really good care of LeRoy..who is in very poor shape ..He made sure he was ok and got the breaks he needed..He kept us well informed on what would happen at the depostion.Michael did an excellent job ..

Used them for the 3M ear plug suit. After they asked me to provide logins to my VA medical record account, which is insanely unprofessional if not illegal, I told them I was no longer interested in their representation and asked them to stop contacting me. They continue attempting contact, harassing me for information I have refused to provide when telling them I'm not interested in their representation.

My experience with Gori Julian & Associates was amazing! I definitely recommend Ron Motil. He helped me through a situation and was very responsive. My emails were always responded within 24 hours or less. He was available to take my phone calls anytime I had to call. My matters were resolved very quickly!

This law firm is great to deal with. They are quick to get back to us when we have questions. They walked us through the process so we knew what to expect . We are very pleased with their services.

The illness and subsequent death of our loved one was an overwhelming time. When Tim got sick, he had to quit his job and we relied solely on my salary, while the medical bills were mounting and our oldest daughter was starting her freshman year at college. My daughter tried to study while knowing her father was dying. My youngest got her driver’s permit the same day as one of the days Gori Julian attorneys were preparing Tim for a deposition – she never had a chance to show her father her full driver license at 16. My son, out of school and ready to live on his own as a young man, was trying to figure out how to take care of his mother and sisters if he was suddenly the “man of the house.” Meanwhile, I was trying to work full time, be a full time caregiver to my quickly ailing husband, take care of my children, meet everyone’s emotional needs and just keep my family as normal as possible.
Our nephew suggested contacting a mesothelioma attorney. Initially, I was skeptical. How could that possibly help? Big companies could never be held accountable and attorneys were just in it for the money – they weren’t on our side. But we made the call – and we met Gori Julian staff and attorneys. Our lives were changed.
Gori Julian helped us make sense of this strange new world we had entered – living with mesothelioma. The attorneys explained how other people had acquired the disease, how such a tragic disorder was impacted by top corporations and how they could work with us to obtain compensation from some of those companies. They presented us with options and helped us decide which options best met our family needs and goals. When we needed to pay an emergency bill so a procedure could be started, they found us the money. Otherwise, we couldn’t have proceeded with treatment.
They remained in close contact with us throughout the entire process. His attorney called and checked on his health. They sat and listened to his stories for hours. They remembered our children’s names and things that were important to us. The attorneys and all staff were kind and respectful at all times, explaining why they needed certain paperwork and items, making paperwork as easy as possible, treating us as though we were the most important client they had at that moment. His trial attorneys answered all of our questions. They listened carefully and remembered details, and were aware and respectful of Tim’s health, shortening visits when he appeared tired and being patient when his condition worsened and be began forgetting things.
Gori Julian provided us more than relief from the stress of financial burden. They provided us with hope. My husband passed peacefully knowing his family would be provided for and that he had taken steps to make that happen. Even after Tim passed away, they cared for me with respect, helping me navigate the distribution of funds process. I'd give anything to have my husband back in my life and for him to never have had this horrible disease. Gori Julian helped ease the overwhelming sense of helplessness that comes with the diagnosis of mesothelioma and holds companies accountable for the damage their decisions caused innocent people. Our burden is a little lighter as we reassemble our lives. We are so grateful to all the staff and attorneys we worked with at Gori Julian. Many blessings to you and the work you do.

We were very pleased by the performance of our lawyer Mr. John Hopkins who represented us in a personal injury case for a motor vehicle accident. His knowledge and judicious application of the law helped to secure a sizable settlement in a short period of time. He also explained the proceedings in a very detailed yet easy to understand manner. I would highly recommend his services to friends and family or anybody in need of a personal injury lawyer.

Gori, Julian and Associates have been wonderful. From the moment the first two lawyers arrived at our house and through the whole process they have been kind and considerate. I have had the most contact with Suzanne Darr. Will love that representative for life. My other person that I have had contact with was Katie. Likewise she was warm and understanding. They have been a HUGE help during an awful situation. I hope anyone else in a mesothelioma situation contacts this firm for help. They get their FAIR share. Why not? They do all the leg work. The financial help has been wonderful but also the satisfaction of a small amount of retribution in regards to the companies involved. Companies that knew about asbestos since at least the 1940"s. My husband contacted them. They did not solicit us and I am definitely glad he did.

My name is BN Colvard a retired physician who was diagnosed with Mesothelioma two years ago.
During that time I have been represented by Gori Julian & Associates, who have secured for me a great amount of compensation for my asbestos related disease. I have been particularly pleased with the personal enter action of a young attorney from the firm Jason Epps. He guided me through the deposition process resulting in an equitable resolution of my case.

I would recommend Gori Julian & Associates for your attorney needs. My dad was diagnosed with Mesothelioma, we contacted Gori Julian & Associates, they sent someone right out to meet with us. Dave came out and was very helpful and friendly, from out first visit, to the Deposition, to when my dad went to Hospice, and beyond. Suzanne has always been very helpful, when I would call and have a question about anything if she didn't know the answer she would find out and get back with us right away. If you have been diagnosed with Mesothelioma I would strongly recommend them. They are the best and thank you for all you are doing for my family.

I want to start with an apology for the length of this comment. The short version, they are great! Long version...After finding out that my father was ill, we had a lot to think about and even more questions about why. I searched the internet and seriously prayed that God would send a group that was honest, patient and trusted to help us understand what we knew nothing about. I spoke with a young lady, Annette C., on a Sunday evening who took her time to answer all the questions I had without concerns about the weekend or the time. The next 2 business days I recieved a lot of info on my father's situation and what the next steps were to follow and who to call. Gori Julian and Associates was the firm I connected to and immediately was set with an representative who actually came to our home to talk to us and answer questions about why we were in the situation we were in. Step by step and with every deposition someone was available either by phone or came to town. The honesty of everyone was a breath of fresh air. I know first off this is unfortunately a business and some one has to represent people who are wronged and you have a lot of people who would prey upon people in such a situation, but we were treated with dignity and respect and we never had a question if this was the firm to go with or not. They know the business of the companies that were involved and how we were looked upon. I felt as if my father was an unsuspecting victim of large corporations who just didn't care for their employees. Julian &Associates spoke for my father. I still have hard feelings for the lost of my father but the firm is still available to help me with questions. Suzanne D., is a very nice and personable person who has the patience of an angel. Always available or contacts you immediately if needed. Others are just as important, but she stands out since she's the main contact I've had for my father's case. If anyone had a question of who and what to do in this situation, I would have no problem giving them this firm to help them. This is a horrible situation to be in, but this is the firm to help you through it. I give thanks to all who have been involved. Top notch all the way!

While dealing with grief over my husband's illness and eventual passing, Gori Julian and Associates, showed compassion, caring and total understanding. They dug into all places to help us receive compensation for unjust exposure to asbestos. I cannot thank them enough for all that they have done. I highly recommend this company. They are a blessing.

We needed legal advice and contacted the Law Firm of Gori Julian, who recommended calling John Hopkins. As a result, our experience with Mr. Hopkins and his staff proved to be the perfect fit for us. From the beginning, Mr. Hopkins was always friendly, courteous and most of all professional. He guided us through the process always patiently offering advice and answering questions. In a timely manner he would call or email keeping us informed with the progress of the claim. We very much appreciate all that he and his staff did for us and highly recommend them for their services.

Sincerely,

At this time my information as plaintiff in a Hernia Mesh Class Action Litigation has been gathered and submitted. Candace May, Mass Torts Paralegal, has been very cordial and professional and has answered all my questions. She is keeping me updated as to the current status of this case going to trial.

From the moment I inquired about my situation every one was very kind professional and helpful. I received instructions on how to sign all the proper documents and they investigated. Most of my calls and communication are with Candace May she's always very helpful and informative She is very busy but always gets back to me in short period of time and handles what ever the task. So far every step has been explained and it has been easy to deal with even with out the face to face meetings this has saved loads of time and the inconvenience of taking time out of your day to do it. Best call I made first time I have dealt with online law issue I recommend them to my friends and family and you will to. My case is still on going i will update once it is completed .

Without Gori Julian & Associates, I don't know where I would be today.
I became a Mesothelioma patient, and a family member helped with searching for legal advice. Eventually, Gori Julian & Associates took my case and assigned attorney Jason Epps to represent me. I thought I would have to wait months, if not a year to experience any justice. I quickly found out how experienced Gori Julian & Associates was with Mesothelioma cases. The entire team that represents me are knowledgeable and friendly. Jason felt like a son to me. I was set up with giving a Deposition quickly and started to receive settlements which I had no idea I was entitled to. Without these settlements I could not pay for much of my medical expenses. I would recommend Gori Julian & Associates to anyone.

Sent in non specified documents after phone interview said I had valid abilify case. After giving up waiting for emails to be answered i ended up sending in what i felt could help my case asking if i should fill out a statement etc.. got sent certified letter saying client relationship is ended upon review if case. What case? Spent lots of time on this with little guidance except prepaid envelope saying send what u think helps. Very disappointed. No explanation regarding what would help or what decided my case is not worth pursuing. Only was returned one of the two packages I sent in for case review.
Update:Below they replied saying someone would reach out to me in a few days. Still have heard nothing back.

There are many things that a lot of people do not want to do, and among that list for most people, is dealing with a lawyer. Bob Marcus, who practices here, made sure that this was not the case for me. He is an excellent lawyer and, altogether, a wonderful guy. He did a fantastic job on my case, making the whole process go seamlessly, and made the whole experience better than I would have ever anticipated it could be. I cannot recommend him and, of course, this law firm enough.

I would ask my lawyer a simple question and it would take weeks for him to get back to me. It seemed as though my case wasn’t being worked on until I would keep calling. We would be told things that wouldn’t happen. Like phone calls, reports being dropped off, etc. that never happened. It seemed our lawyer was lying to us to keep us “happy.” Finally after almost 7 YEARS of this case going on we settled. We didn’t see a dime for a few months then it took 9 months after the settlement to receive all of our money. This is just a small glimpse into what we had to deal with.

What a great group of people who not only care about their employees but also the community. They are very generous and always giving to non-profit organizations throughout our region.

My father currently has a case here and he’s really happy with how it’s going so far. The entire firm is responsive and the staff are really understanding. There hasn’t been a resolution with the case yet but communication has been outstanding.

If you are a Veteran and looking for a firm to represent you for the 3M case stay away from Gori Julian. There are many other firms out there that will put your best interests first. They do not care about Veterans. They only care about making money for them selves. They are not PRO Veteran. I’m a Combat Veteran and saying stay away.

It moved entirely too quickly for me...and hence, became very confusing for me to follow and respond to everything properly.

Not enough stars to provide an accurate rating. I petition google add a 7th, honorary rating star for this purpose only. A truly amazing and inspiring firm, operated from the crevices of the underside of the very ground their buildings stand upon, to the pinnacle of the roof, (and, by proxy, any birds that land thereupon), by an outstanding team of awe- inspiring and highly motivated individuals. Again, from the newest entry-level hire to the founders themselves. I truly wouldn't be surprised to learn the cleaning staff they contract in is comprised entirely of a collective of altruists and benevolent entrepreneurs. If the rest of the business and service world (and beyond, for that matter) modeled themselves around the examples set by Gori Julian & Associates with only just a modicum of this team's gusto... the entire planet would be a significantly better place in a matter of days. Probably less. Hats off and accolades showered upon you fine ladies and sirs. Never slow or refrain. I'm moved and motivated. I strongly encourage anyone reading this to just research a LITTLE of what these people have done, not just via their services, but for their community and more. Brilliant isn't a powerful enough word. I asked my thesaurus for advice, and after it heard just the little bit I know of their works and history, it shrugged and responded "Dude, i don't even have the words..." What a character. Always with the puns and dad jokes.
