    Business litigation attorney: big firm experience, small firm prices

    17 years

Business Litigation: We represent high-net-worth individuals, entrepreneurs, professionals, doctors, lawyers, and businesses. Our cases typically involve fraud or bad faith in the context of the sale of assets or stock, in the course of business, or in a partnership dispute or dissolution. We also handle matters that involve trust law, and breach of fiduciary duty. 

Doctor Peer Review Law: We represent doctors who feel they are being squeezed out of their hospital: doctors undergoing peer review, those who may have negative National Practitioner Data Bank reports, and doctors who are being harassed and targeted by nursing staff and administration.

Excellent lawyer, hardworking and very responsive to clients
Excellent litigator for my civil case as an executor of an estate. She is very supportive and will fight for you. We did not always hear what we wanted to hear but it was for our own good. It kept us focused on the things we could achieve. She answered every email and every phone call. She won our case and we are happy. She is hardworking and ethical. She has the support of an excellent office staff as well.

Huge help!
Genevieve helped me incorporate my business and she made it so easy for me! She answered my questions, took care of all the leg work, provided me with clear directions on what I needed to do and made it as painless as possible! Not only is Genevieve hugely knowledgeable but she's a joy to work with.

Excellent attorney
Genevieve has the experience, knowledge and know-how to handle all types of litigation. She is extremely knowledgable about the law, her ethics are beyond reproach, and she is creative in her approach to problem solving. I recommend her without hesitation.

Great advice!
Genevieve and I went to law school together and I have referred several people to her who have needed assistance resolving a business dispute. I really appreciate her legal knowledge as well as her people skills. Once when I was negotiating a business deal on behalf of one of my clients, I was shocked and dumb-founded when the opposing attorney hung up on me. While that is known to happen in the litigation world, that had never happened to me as a business transaction attorney. Genevieve gave me great advice about how to keep the negotiation going despite the other attorney's inappropriate response so that I could make the best deal for my clients. Her advice not only earned me big points with my client but it worked and they got the deal they wanted. Thank you Genevieve!

I have had the opportunity to work with Ms. Dame as my lawyer. My case was immensely helped with her knowledge of contract law and her organizational skills. She was able to place perspective and realistic expectations concerning legal issues which aided me in making sound decisions.

Excellent Work!
Mrs. Dame was fantastic! After having a horrible experience with another attorney in the area Genevieve was able to assist us not only with reconciling that situation, but a number of other instances we had with setting up our company and getting all of the necessary documents in place. Mrs. Dame is a great attorney and I will be using her with our company going forward as well as with my own personal affairs. I will recommend her to anyone with corporate or personal legal needs without any hesitation.
