Connell is Excellent
Excellent attorney! I would highly recommend Gene. His is my attorney and now lifelong friend. All around great guy and legal mind!

Mr Connell is a true professional and knows what he is doing! Can't say enough good things.
I was in total panic as to what to do about my legal troubles and thankfully Mr. Connell's name was given to me! I can't recommend him highly enough.

Litigation
Mr. Connell was the only lawyer to take my case. I assume the three previous lawyers who sat on the case without doing anything for several months felt it wasn't profitable. Mr. Connell took the case, arbitrated for the full amount, and won the case.

I have, without hesitation, referred cases cases to him which fell outside my areas of practice. More importantly, I have entrusted him with several personal legal matters.
