Posted by Angie | November 20, 2017 | Hired Attorney

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!

Posted by anonymous | January 16, 2015 | Lawsuits & Disputes

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.

Posted by Maureen | November 29, 2011 | Arbitration

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.

Litigation lawyer | Apr 19

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I've known Gene for over 30 years. I practiced law with him for nearly 10 years in the 80's and 90's. Gene is an excellent attorney in every respect. 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. I would recommend Gene to anyone seeking legal representation in Horry County."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
