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.

I would want Eugene Alkana on my side

I have known Mr. Alkana for several years, but had occasion to use his professional services approximately 5 years ago involving a real estate transaction gone bad. A lawsuit was not filed because the transaction I was involved with required mediation and binding arbitration. Mr. Alkana is extremel...y knowledgeable, kept me up to date on events involving my matter and was able to resolve the matter in my favor. I will be forever grateful to Mr. Alkana.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
