Great lawyer and great person

I have been dealing with Mr. Alkana for almost 10 years. He is an amazing attorney. He has helped us with all our corporate contracts and all of our legal needs.

Posted by Maureen | December 04, 2014 | Contracts & Agreements

Real Estate Transaction

I used Mr. Alkana to help me when I sold my home, and the Buyers refused to close escrow. I had moved across country believing that my home had sold and monies would be wire transferred into my account. After several extensions of time to close escrow, and escrow did not close, Mr. Alkana was succe...ssful in cancelling escrow, helping me find a new buyer, and get the liquidation funds that were due me. I am extremely satisfied with the work he did for me and would recommend him to anyone for many legal services.

Excellent experience

When I first began working with Eugene, I had just moved to Pasadena after living and working in northern California for 7-8 years. The office practice I had failed, and I faced what in my opinion was a very difficult situation that involved settling various lease agreements with four different part...ies that included my former landlord, and three banks. Dealing with these parties by myself was one of the most stressful experiences I have been through, and it consumed most of the business day to such an extent, that it interfered with my ability to carry out my normal career responsibilities. As soon as Eugene took over, it felt like I could breathe again. He was very professional and pragmatic focusing on the issues. He specifically did not give me any high hopes or try to predict an outcome. Instead, he dealt with all issues one by one until everything was settled in a way that far exceeded my expectations. His fees are very reasonable, and his office staff is very available and competent.

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.
