This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Child Custody

I went to Mr. Sollows for help Within a couple of hrs he got back to me with all the information that he needed to help me after a child custody battle, that was literally closed and signed off 5-17-22. We had a hearing to modify Parent-child Relationship Order, from the opposing side. That I did no...t agree with, my attorney with Jim Ross did nothing to defend my case nor put effort towards what I was asking for throughout my whole case, 2 years! Mr. Sollows gave me the closure I didn't get from my attorney, if my case was ever to re-open, without hesitation i would hire him.

unprofessional

The consultation was not high quality standards. The lawyer did not acknowledge what I mentioned and persisted on doing unnecessary work. Front staff receptionist was unprofessional by speaking very loud about another person's personal family case information. The whole experience was ...un satisfactory.

#1 in the Family Law Business!

Mr. Sollows was wonderful in every way. He worked quickly to get the job done right the first time. He is ethical, kind, and supportive. His office staff treated me with respect and was always there working hard for me. I am confident in this law firm & you should be too!!

Wonderful!

Gene was the perfect personality that I needed for a lawyer. He was confident and also a good listener. He handles people with all kinds of personalities in a phenomenal way. I feel like he handled my case in a very professional way. He advocated for me and helped me to achieve the things that I want...ed most. I would share his information with anyone I knew who needed to get a divorce lawyer.

Exceptional

Gene is an exceptional attorney. He fought for my rights as a father, provided support, clarification, explanation, and encouragement as I dealt with a highly contentious person. He knows the law and is skilled at showing the true issues at hand. He fights for his clients and the best interest of ...all parties involved. I would highly recommend Gene and his team.
