Great Team!

Eugene and Kathy (his wife who does the financial part) are a great team. They worked on my divorce case. They are extremely prompt in responding and completing paper work. Any questions or concerns that you may have are answered expediently.

Great Divorce & Post Divorce Lawyer

Eugene and Kathy have been instrumental in helping me manage the post divorce issues in my situation based on my decree in terms of financial issues that come up with my ex as to what I'm liable for and what she is liable for, they even worked with my ex in negotiating items that were outside the sco...pe of my decree. They are personable and take their time to work with you and are fair and you'll be happy with the outcome.

Highly recommended attorney

Gene & Kathy helped me through a very difficult time in my life. They are both dedicated, caring , honest professionals. They are quite knowledgeable of matrimonial law & the financial aspects concerning a divorce. They do not leave one stone unturned, explain everything,& go the extra mile f...or their client. I would highly recommend them.

Amazing attorney who got results!

It is possible to find a highly qualified and affordable attorney that provides results. Eugene and his office were responsible for resolving a residency issue with my school district. At the worst time for my children and myself, Eugene gave us piece of mind and results.
