This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Would not recommend

Very disappointed in his lack of interest, diligence regarding my case. When Bonnie worked for the firm she genuinely made an effort to address my concerns, explain procedures, ask questions, a caring attitude. I cannot say this regarding Mr Souder.

He saved our family!

Mr. Souder went above and beyond in our custody suit. He came down quickly and sternly against the other side and was able to get them to back down before even going to court. He made sure our family was kept together and he did it quickly. My husband and I highly recommend this firm!

Got the case resolved

I hired Gene regarding a child support matter which ultimately developed into false accusations being made by my opponent. Over a period of 8 months Gene always stayed on top of my case and provided excellent legal advice. He is a no nonsense attorney. I highly recommend this law firm. Not only w...ill you get awesome representation but will find he is genuinely a great person who cares about children. I am eternally grateful.

Remarkable Attorney and Staff!

Mr. Souder and his staff were beyond remarkable during my divorce, custody and child support case, which was a long process. Their professionalism, prompt response to all my calls and the care they showed for me was more than I could have asked for during this difficult time. Especially since I lived... in Florida during the entire process and my case was in Maryland!!! Mr. Souder really was an advocate for my 2 infant children which is what I admired about him. He took my calls and responded to emails outside of business hours again showing his level of care and diligence in my case. No one wins in a divorce with children however Mr. Souder did accomplish what was important to me. I sincerely thank him and his staff! Sincerely, Seeta

Couldn't be represented by anyone better!

I have worked with Gene consistently since March of 2009. For the past 5 years, Gene has guided me through various legal matters from my separation, divorce, child support (when it wasn't being paid to us), modification of child custody (including mediation) and as of most recently, the adoption of m...y daughter to my husband. Even when we weren't in the middle of a case, I would sometimes call to update him on a situation that I felt he should be aware of and he always answered my questions, gave advice/suggestions, and always made me feel like my case was just as important to him as it was to me. Gene has always answered calls/emails in a timely manner, explained our various options so that I was always able to make sound decisions, and kept me informed throughout every step of any case we were currently working with. I have grown to completely trust Gene with any situation that may arise. Over the years I have given his contact information to a handful of close friends and I will absolutely call him if we should ever need legal help in the future.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
