Willem Galen Gentry
About meOur firm focuses on wage and overtime claims, internet and domain name disputes, trademark infringement and commercial litigation. We also prosecute serious injury matters.
I have 19 years of experience at both the state and federal levels. I have been awarded the highest possible rating for legal skill and ethical conduct by Martindale Hubbell, the oldest attorney rating company in the United States. The three most important characteristics of our firm are accessibility of the attorney, a unique approach to case preparation, and great trial experience.
We are different from other firms because our clients are able to talk to the attorney handling the case. Most law firms have layers of personnel between the attorney and the clients--receptionists, secretaries, paralegals. This can be very frustrating. At my firm when a client has a substantive question he or she speaks with me.
My firm's approach is to prepare every case as if it will be presented to a jury. Since most cases settle average lawyers never even think about trial until it is almost upon them. We start every case by looking at the jury instructions that will govern the trial of the issues. We use the instructions to draft our pleadings. Everything we do is geared to convincing the jury to find in favor of our client. By preparing for trial we ensure the best possible settlements in those matters that resolve without trial.
We never lose sight of the fact that we work for people. We offer free consultations to prospective clients and flexible fee arrangements. We accept some cases on contingency, we have flat rates and hourly rates for other matters.
I am the co-chairman of the Intellectual Property, Internet and New Media Section of the Beverly Hills Bar Association, and a member of the executive committee of the Litigation Section. I serve as a Settlement Officer for the Los Angeles County Superior Court.
