Above and Beyond!

Where do I start! I was in communication with Mr. Gene Sara due to a case my brother had. Mr. Gene Sara has fast responses and answers all your questions. He was able to help my brother out and make him a free man. He went truly above and beyond through out the whole case and even after. Which I trul...y believe sets him apart from other attorney. Hands down the best!

DWI Case

I must say that I'm please with how Gene Sera and his assistant Debbie handle my DWI case. He gave me hope to know that he was not an attorney who wanted to get paid but an attorney who wanted to fight for you. It's hard to find a good attorney who are affordable and who would fight for you at the s...ame time. Very professional and helpful in guiding me through this difficult and frustrating time. I appreciate him taking his time with answering all my questions. I would gladly recommend him to whoever looking for a attorney to defend in their case. Thanks Gene and Debbie I appreciate both of you, it was truly a blessing meeting you!

Saved the day

Remembered Gene from prior representation for someone I know. I got pulled over and called him in a panic. He patiently & gracefully helped me speak to the police and helped me understand my rights & avoid arrest.

Have FAITH in Gene Sera’s process

All I have to say is Mr. Sera really does know what he is doing. I’m happy with the outcome. At first, I’m not going to lie. I was beginning to think that he was going to be lenient with the prosecutor and my case. I was facing a DWI 2nd Felony. I assumed he was going to settle for this. But let m...e tell you. Gene will advise you to do what is best. Although, you may not think it’s working or makes sense but IT WILL. Just have faith in him as he has faith in you to complete the recommended advice. As long as you do as he recommends. You will find yourself on top. He got my DWI w/minor under 15 y/o Felony charge to basically a first offense DWI Misdemeanor B with 2-years probation. I was ashamed and embarrassed with what this charge made me look like as a single father with full custody of my kids. Now I am relieved that’s a MISDEMEANOR and not the weight of a becoming a felon! Trust Mr. Sera, have faith in his steps and just pray as that one small dip into faith can move mountains and in my case…. It did. Thank you, Gene Sera and everyone in the office for not judging me, their kindness, their communication and for keeping me calm and my anxiety down during the entire process.

Trust the process with Gene

I hired Gene late last year after an argument with my spouse ended ugly and I ended in jail. I thought my life was done. I found Gene here, gave him a call and he eased my mind, put things in perspective and drew up a game plan on how to tackle my case. One thing I learnt is to be patient and trust t...he process. With COVID-19 causing a back log of cases, it was nerve wrecking not knowing the status of my case but Gene reassured me and kept me focused on what I needed to do to handle the case. After a year both cases were dismissed! All thanks to the work and due diligence of Gene and his team. You're reading this because you are looking for a lawyer you can trust. Trust Gene to get it done! He is worth every dime!

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.
