Replied last June 19, 2018We are sorry that this individual did not have a positive experience with our firm. Her review was the first negative review we ever received. We strive to go above and beyond in providing our clients with excellent customer service and professional performance. We are responsive and attentive as she states in her review. Many of our cases are complex and have challenging adversaries but we are very successful in reaching successful outcomes for our clients. Many of our clients return to our firm for additional legal services and many often refer us to friends, family and co-workers.

A great asset through a difficult time.
Divorce is a stressful process. Gene provided not just sound legal advice, but guidance on getting through the process. Throughout, his focus was not just on my rights, but what was best for my children. He has been an invaluable asset.
