Gano was extremely knowledgeable, organized and honest. 5 Stars in all categories. Would not have known where to begin, let alone win my case, without him.

Gano Lemoine's Lawyer Endorsements
"Gano has worked in a number of different practice areas and has had great success. He worked for outstanding results in complex tort cases. He has provided great insights to me not just about the entertainment law industry, but life in general."
"I endorse this lawyer."
"I endorse this lawyer. Whenever I have a friend or client that needs an entertainment or business lawyer, Gano is always at the top of my list."
"I have worked with Gano (as opposing counsel) on toxic tort cases. He was professional yet aggressive and always obtained a good result for his clients. The cases that we worked on required a comprehensive knowledge of the law over decades. Gano knew the law and the procedural rules. His work ethic was top notch. I highly recommend Gano as a litigator. I also think he would make an excellent mediator."
"I have known Gano for many years, in that time he has been General Counsel & Co-Founder, G2G Enterprises, Inc. In which he was involved in developing the business, legal and creative aspects of a start-up online video game, including content generation, copyright, trademark and patent issues, and industry analysis and fund raising. Prior to this, Gano was involved in Class Action / Mass Tort Litigation: in that area of law, he was involved in the focused analysis of factual, legal and medical issues, ultimately for the purpose of presentation and argument in state and federal courts. Gano is intensely focused on his client's issues and concerns and thus, a highly effectual attorney."
