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.

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 shoc...ked 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!

Formidable Lawyer

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. I highly reco...mmend her expertise in law and being an advocate for her clients.

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.
