GENIUS!!!!!!

Eugene Alkana is a great lawyer, I got referred by a friend, and he has a customer for life, we were in a lawsuit for 4 1/2 years due to mold and water damage issue prior of purchasing the property, the problem wasn’t disclosed During the sale of the property, the problem was hiden behind the dresse...r in the bedroom which inspection and I missed, Even though I bought the property AS-IS, and it went threw inspection, there was no way I had a solid case, but I was so upset I still took the sellers to court. Mr Alkana won the case for me. We went back-and-forth for a couple years, after going to arbitration and litigation I told myself Mr Alkana knows his stuff, and all the times I’ve talk to Mr Alkana he’s very patient, it’s like you’re talking to your friend which is awesome, he makes you feel very comfortable, because some lawyers try to hurry up and get you off the phone and they don’t really care about your case, they actually make you feel like it’s your fault, and there your lawyer, with Mr Alkana, That wasn’t the case, he studied your case thoroughly, and cares and listens to what you have to say, and ask very important questions and has great points. He fought hard and we won, in our closing arguments it was like a Mike Tyson punch, he pointed out how the defendant lied numerous times, Where the judge did not catch or realize, the judge was even shocked that he didnt catch those lies himself, with that being said I was like “WOW” this guy knows what he’s doing, we won the case I got all my lawyers fees back and my damages, and I will continue doing business with him long as I’m alive.

Life Saver

Eugene provided me with pro bono legal services and we were able to settle the matter without going to trial which is a win for me! They really saved me from major headaches and legal trouble. Thank you again!

Excellent Lawyer

I have retained Eugene Alkana twice over the past five years. He has done a great job for me both times. The second time, the result was even better than I thought was possible. Mr. Alkana always kept me informed about every detail that was taking place in my matters. And his personality was he...lpful to me, because it enabled him to work well with opposing counsel. When I went to court on my cases, I could tell he was very experienced, and well respected by the judges. Mr. Alkana is not cheap when it comes to his fee, but who wants a cheap lawyer. His rates are very reasonable, and he earned every dollar I paid him. And I have friends and colleagues who have paid a lot more for their lawyers, whereas Mr. Alkana could not have got better results for me, if I had paid him ten times as much. I almost never write reviews, but I am now because Eugene Alkana is an exceptionally good lawyer.
