Gene was hired after my appeals order to address post-decree open topics (taxes and equity distributions) and was my attorney for ~6 months. I was passed off from the law firm to Gene without much say as my Appellate attorney wanted to focus on other clients. Up until that point, I had spent +$50k ...with the Shindler, Anderson, Goplerud & Weese, P.C. law firm. Gene represented me at a contempt hearing as my ex would not provided the documentation for me to amend taxes. My ex provided the necessary 8332 tax forms to enable me to amend prior year taxes one day before the scheduled hearing, after dodging being served a month prior. My ex claimed that our 19 yr old daughter was eligible as a dependent, so I questioned her student dependent eligibility with Gene prior to the hearing. Technically, I was provided two dependents as required, but questioned dependent status. Gene was not supportive prior to the hearing, as he asked if I wanted to cancel the contempt. I asked to pursue the hearing as I questioned the student dependency of the 19 yr old, then he visually rolled his eyes at me as he did not like this decision. He did not fight for me well during the hearing and let opposing counsel claim my daughter was eligible when in fact she was not. I asked after the hearing for follow up on proof of 19 yr old evidence of student registration. Ironically, my ex later withdrew my 19 yr old and gave me our 14 yr old dependent instead. I asked what the consequences were for them misleading the court, told him that I since had what I needed to amend taxes (he was bcc'd on email), but he proceeded to assume incorrectly and email opposing counsel without proper understanding. Gene was bcc'd on all of these emails to my ex, thus giving me the impression that he did not review the emails, nor focus on my case. He then withdrew from my case and stated I misled him, then twisting it into a different reason, telling me that he was not going to get into the ongoing conflicts. I spent $4.5k on getting these two forms from my ex, yet open issues remain unresolved today. My experience with Gene was very unprofessional, he neglected my case, and furthermore felt the law firm did not uphold their responsibilities to protect me either. If this is the attorney you want, go for it, but I felt very unsupported and felt as if my case was neglected, just a money suck. I do not recommend.
