After a long and arduous search to find representation, I was blessed to find Dan Gilleon. Within a few minutes of our initial conversation, it was clear that he is expertly knowledgeable. As soon as Dan took my case I could breathe a sigh of relief knowing it was in the best hands possible. Dan’s tenacity, intelligence and skillful knowledge of the law can all be attributed to his impressive success representing victims. Not only did Dan win my settlement handsomely, his exposure of injustice turned the tide and helped implement necessary changes.

Dan Gilleon is an exceptional attorney. He is knowledgeable, intelligent and a fierce advocate for his clients. Dan and his team informed through the whole process and I am very happy with my end result. After speaking with a few attorneys before Dan that told me I didn’t have a case I’m so glad I found Dan who listened carefully to me and really fought for me and we won my case.

Dan Gilleon is a highly ethical attorney who rights the wrongs in this world. He helped me through an extremely traumatic case.
If you are targeted for harassment, discrimination or any of the awful things that people do , call him. He is a no nonsense attorney, very busy and yet finds the time to handle things quickly and with great prowess.
Dan is also an extremely kind human, I drove three hours to meet with him, explained my situation and he was onboard immediately.
Good luck to anyone needing a lawyer, I am so very grateful I had him on my team.

I wish I could give Dan and his team 6/5 stars. He helped me with a case that had put me through emotional hell and supported me through the whole process. His co-council Marlea was also an amazing support. They handled everything quickly and professionally resulting in a settlement that I was pleased with. 10/10 would work with him again. I highly recommend him and Gilleon Law Firm!

Dan Gilleon went above and beyond to get me the justice i deserved. His professionalism, sensitivity, and legal wisdom set him apart from most. As far as I'm concerned he is one of the best attorneys in the state. If it wasn't for him, I never would have got my confidence or voice back. He really believed in me and fought hard to give me much needed closure. Thank you Dan!

Dan did an exceptional job as an attorney for our family after a traumatic event. Dan and his team were fiercely competent to look for any information that could help out our case. The attorneys always came prepared and were very thorough and methodical throughout the case. In addition, Dan and his team were very compassionate to both sides of the case while also remaining assertive and professional. We were very satisfied with the outcome of the case and the Gilleon Law Firm did an excellent job.

Ambulance chase that's what this attorney is. He called me after my dui saying he could fight for me. Not once did he show up to court. He was quick to collect money but did nothing. A public defender did a better job and now he says he can defend this family. I feel sorry for them. He will cause more grief on them. He's in it for the money and in it for his gain. Bottom feeder.

Dan Gilleon really cares about his clients. When my son was having trouble with bullying at school, the school and the school district did not adequately respond to help my son or stop the child who physically assaulted him. The bully continued to target my son. After 4 weeks of contacting school administration asking them to protect my son from further mental and physical harm, with no response, I contacted Dan. He responded to me immediately. Dan's actions got the school to finally take action! My son goes to school again without fear and with a smile on his face. Our family has hope again

I highly recommend Dan Gilleon for personal injury or employment law. He has won some high profile cases and is on local TV (Channel 10 news) giving opinions and discussing various issues of law. When my mother was rear ended and injured in a car accident the Insurance company from the other party was giving her the runaround. My mother had hired another attorney and was questioning whether or not she had hired the right person. I called Dan and asked him about the other attorney and he spoke highly of him. This says a lot about someone's character that they can endorse someone else freely

I was seriously injured in an accident, and didn't know who to turn to for legal advice. A friend recommended Dan Gilleon, so I gave him a call. He took the time to fully understand what had transpired, then thoroughly and clearly explained my legal options to me. He was fair, honest, and accessible as he assisted me in deciding on a course of action. He made a really tough situation much more manageable for me. I highly recommend Dan Gilleon!

Over the last few years, my law firm has referred over a hundred civil cases resulting in millions of dollars recovered for countless families and/or victims in a wide array of personal injury/wrongful death/business disputes. So when I endorse Dan Gilleon as an attorney, it is based on his proven track record of success with real people- many of whom I have become close friends with. If you believe that you and/or a loved one may have a personal injury/wrongful death claim, I strongly urge you to consider contacting Dan Gilleon as soon as is practicable for a free consultation. Not only does Dan

Dan took on my difficult case after it was mishandled by a previous attorney. He jumped in when other attorneys declined to help. He treated me with respect and kindness. He is tough when needed and acts with integrity and class. I received the best possible outcome and was kept informed of the entire case. Linda F.

I was extremely pleased with Dan Gilleon and his associates at the Gilleon Law Firm. As a businessman for over three decades, I have used many different law firms. Dan is a very competent lawyer and I was impressed with his bold and confident attitude. I can guarantee you that the opposing counsel will not be walking all over Dan. He is tough but fair.
Dan was very reasonable with his fees and never rung up needless work hours to run up his billable hours. He is one of the few attorneys that I have dealt with that really worked with me in trying to keep costs down. He advised against a few strategy

Dan is a great attorney. He has many great qualities: focused, intelligent, direct, ambitious, patient and informative. I have used his services twice in the past decade. We won both cases with optimal results. I was impressed with his integrity and I appreciate what he has done for me. Whenever I have any kind of legal issue, he is and will always be the first person I call. If you want justice, peace of mind, comfort, and proper representation, go to Dan. He is a true professional and will help you find the answers you are looking for.
