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.

Made a nightmare bearable and painless!

Eugene Alkana is thorough, detailed, and knowledgeable. He has a unique ability to effectively relate to people from different backgrounds in order to get the job done quickly and efficiently. We met with Eugene Alkana regarding a real estate matter that seemed overwhelming and insurmountable. His c...ounsel left no doubt on what steps we needed to take before proceeding with a recent real estate transaction. We are confident that we made a wise business decision based on Eugene’s advice and recommendations. At our initial consultation, we were immediately struck by his professionalism, knowledge, breadth of experience, but most of all his integrity. He was extremely honest and forthright and patiently explained what options were available to us. His compassion and generosity were disarming. We were surprised when he advised that we take a more conservative route initially, rather than retaining his legal services immediately. His professional relationship with the legal representatives of the other parties was also a huge plus due to his constant correspondence and his refusal to allow distractions that could have prolonged negotiations. It was then that we knew that Eugene was committed to serving the client’s best interest first. We trust Gene implicitly to provide us with the best legal representation possible, and as a result have returned to seek his expert counsel on several business matters and referred several clients. He made a nightmare bearable and painless

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.
