YOUR LAW FIRM WAS A RAY OF HOPE TO MY FAMILY AT A TIME WHEN OUR OPTIONS APPEARED LIMITED AND THE LIKELIHOOD OF A SATISFACTORY RESOLUTION SEEMED IMPOSIBLE. NOT ONLY WAS YOUR TEAM ABLE TO DEFEND OUR FAMILY MEMBER FROM AN UNJUST ACCUSATION YOUR CALM AND COMPASIONATE DEMEANOR OFFERED EMOTIONAL SUPPORT TO MY FAMILY. I AM GRATEFUL FOR YOUR SERVICE AND WOULD RECOMEND GENS, STANTON & FLOREK WITHOUT RESERVATION.

Bill took ample information over the phone, then gave me his email address. I sent him more detailed information and documentation pertaining to my legal issues via email. I could tell right away that bill had read through the material thoroughly and he was quick to come up with a plan of attack on my behalf. I felt quite confident that Bill would win my case all through the process and when it came to for him to step up to the plate, he did so witch complete and utter competence and commitment to the task. Having him and his legal team on my side allowed me to sleep much better at night knowing that I was in good hands. I highly recommend Bill and his associates.
