I engaged Gene and his firm twice: for a matter relating to the sale of my property management business in 2012 and then for a lawsuit filed by a former tenant against myself personally and my former business in 2016. In the matter of the sale of my business, Gene was negotiating with the firm t...o whom I had sold, but I was the one to finally get the case settled, with Gene wrapping up the case details. In defending me in the lawsuit filed by the former tenant, Gene was initially responsive and seemed to be working on my behalf, however, that changed after several months when it became difficult to get a response from him on the status of my case. After five months, I was transferred to his partner, David Baumgarten, with no explanation given for the move. David proved to be just as unresponsive and when he actually followed up on my inquiries, his response was usually, "Let me follow up". However, he never did. In fact, I believe I was the only party not to receive a settlement in the case from the offending party, and I attribute this result to Gene and David's lack of communication and follow through.
