I graduated from Hobart College, and the North Carolina Central School of Law, where I was on law review. I’ve lived in Vermont since 1995, and have practiced law most of my time here, except for when I’m sugarin’, coachin’, riding my bicycle, or trying to keep my old house from falling down.

My practice focuses on plaintiff's personal injury.

I have been with the firm for 23 years, and I am a partner.

Having an injury can be very difficult and I know that insurance companies often do not treat people fairly. My clients like me because I am passionate about their claims and don’t give up! It is obvious that I enjoy what...

The Affolter Gannon law firm is uniquely suited to fight for the rights of victims injured in accidents because Mike Gannon and Dick Affolter used to be among Vermont's premiere insurance defense lawyers. The AG team were the attorneys insurance companies called when claims were asserted against them. In fact, Mike and Dick received awards from insurance companies and were asked to instruct their adjusters how to handle legal issues. A little more than ten years ago, AG made the decision to "switch teams" and to represent injured claimants who are being treated unfairly by insurance companies. We...

I understand the difficulties that face workers in these different job sites, and the problems that arise when you are injured. One important legal issue I helped clarify was the right to vocational rehabilitation for injured...

I became an attorney so I could help ordinary people fight for the things they are entitled to.

I am very detail-oriented and learn the specifics of each case by really listening to my clients and what they need. Although the legal process...

I have been practicing law for more than 40 years, and I am a founding partner in the firm. I have chosen to specialize in helping people with personal injuries because I care. I represent injured workers in their workers’ compensation claims and people who have been injured due to the negligence of others. One case that was particularly meaningful for me was when I represented a man who had been a laborer all of his life. He was essentially at the end of his career and he fell and injured his back.
