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!

Great Lawyer!

Mr.Sera was great! I decided to contact Mr.Sera from reading a couple of reviews online. I had contacted previous lawyers but since we didn't have much time to resolve the case many lawyers told me an outcome that wasn't great and that that would be all they could do. However when I contacted Mr.Sera... and explained the situation he was willing to help. He was always on our side he got back to us in time if I texted he would text right back or call within a few minutes. His office assistant was always helpful and sweet. Mr.Sera got us a better outcome than what we expected he is really a great, helpful lawyer and he has a great attitude! he is willing to work a payment plan!

Great lawyer, i recommend him!

Gene is a great attorney. He was honest with me all the time and he was always reachable. i always knew what was going to happen. Thanks to his great efforts, I am able to live my life stress free because my case went great! (His pricing is also reasonable)

Mr. Sera...

Took care of my two cases back to back with, little to no issues and during the entire process he made sure I was aware of my situation and what my options were. Overall very professional and helpful.

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.
