I used John Gilroy with Gilroy & Napoli to represent me in a very complex and multi-faceted case. I travelled from Hawaii to deal with my case and made a point to interview several different firms. I felt instantly comfortable with John and his staff and never felt judged or looked down upon. Since I live across the Pacific Ocean and am not in state to deal with this legal matter, finding the right lawyer and firm was essential. My requirements were the following: knowledge of the law, loads of experience, amicable connections, excellent communication, likability, cost and ability to think outside the box. John Gilroy far exceeded my expectations on all accounts. His resume, experience and knowledge of the legal system are outstanding and his contacts and connections saved me both time and money. The amount I saved from his thinking outside of the box and directing me clearly on what to do covered more than his fees; I ended up saving money by using Gilroy and Napoli. He's also a very nice guy. This may not seem important; however, having a lawyer who has a good reputation among his peers and colleagues is necessary. Many lawyers will reference that they know everyone in the system, but he genuinely does. His professional history outlines it and my experience proves it. I highly recommend John Gilroy and Gilroy & Napoli.”
Needing a criminal attorney is a very scary and humbling thing. The best decision I made in this process was choosing John Gilroy to represent me”
Things are very different from the laws in our home state. My wife found Jeff and John through Google and it was the best find ever. Jeff met with us and explained how the laws are administered, what to expect worst case and what he thought would be the outcome; (we came out better than expected). More importantly, he promised no surprises: and he delivered. The entire office was extremely professional, instilling the confidence we needed in a time when calm and reason are called for. Jeff Napoli is by far the most competent attorney I have witnessed and he knows the law. Jeff is very highly respected in the Washington County legal environment and for good reason. Thank you Jeff and thanks to the entire office.”
To anyone reading this take the time and make the call. It will change your life. Before talking to Mr. Napoli, I felt like I was all alone with no one in my corner. The staff at Gilroy & Napoli are so attentive to specific needs, I never felt alone. The strong and powerful feeling you need to fight your battle is there. Please call them. Let them hear your story. Don't be afraid. It was by far one of the most important calls I have ever made and will never ever be more thankful for their hard work.”
From the beginning John was straightforward, knowledgeable, and concerning. John helped me understand the process, and through his knowledge and experience was able to help me make complicated decisions. Considering that a measure 11 conviction carries a mandatory minimum sentence of 5 years 10 months in prison, the fact that John was able negotiate a significantly less sentence and a class of felony that would be expungeable was a good outcome considering the above mentioned possibility. After my release I sought John's representation again to have the felony expunged from my record, and again he delivered. Thank you John, I cannot say that enough!”
I was scared and trembling. I didn't even know the difference between and misdemeanor and a felony, but I knew our family needed immediate legal help. I was greeted by the calm, kind and friendly voice of John Gilroy. He gave me information, advice and answered all my questions. I soon found that John was a family man who wanted nothing but the best for us. He took charge, worked hard and kept us informed every step of the way. John is well known and respected and he knows what needs to be done and how to do it.Of course you never want to make the call to an attorney, but if you have to, make it to a friend...Gilroy and Napoli.”

On June 12, 2014, Gilroy & Napoli, together with its co-counsel, The Gilroy Law Firm, filed a lawsuit in Marion County Circuit Court against Salem-Keizer School District and former School District employee Jose Moreno. The lawsuit alleges that during the course and scope of Moreno's employment as a teacher's aid at Whiteaker Middle School, Moreno sexually abused a non-verbal, autistic student. The lawsuit alleges claims of Sexual Abuse of a Child, Battery, Intentional Infliction of Emotional Distress, Negligence and Abuse of a Vulnerable Person.
Moreno was convicted of three counts of Sex Abuse I in Marion County and is currently incarcerated at Two Rivers Correctional Institution. Moreno's earliest release date is April 9, 2025.
We are hopeful that this lawsuit will raise public awareness and ultimately prevent further incidents of child abuse especially against vulnerable victims. In addition, we are hopeful that this lawsuit will bring justice to the victim and his family.
