This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Highly recommend, excellent Attorney, very knowledgeable, responsive

I was referred to Ms. Stillwell. I had a significant amount of questions for Ms. Stillwell regarding my severance and peripheral implications. After my first meeting, I felt very relieved and fortunate that I had found someone who listened intensely to my questions and concerns, and it was clear tha...t I had found a lawyer who was thoroughly knowledgeable in this area of law. I did need several impromptu discussions and meetings with Ms. Stillwell and she was always there for me when I would call and email, and she would reply quickly to my questions. During my discussions, I was always provided with key insights, issues to consider, options, and alternatives, and I felt that I was in great hands. I highly recommend Ms. Stillwell for any litigation related to severance and the work environment, as her council / advice / guidance to me was exceptional and my issues were resolved very satisfactorily.

Highly recommend attorney Geniene - knowledgeable, sharp and skillful lawyer

The need for a lawyer arose for me while I was in extreme distress situation at work - and my interaction with Geniene caught me by surprise. She was able to cut through the noise around various issues in the case - she clearly, quickly and accurately understood various aspects and complexities in it... - and provided excellent guidance. I feel she has a rare skill-set of being a strong, focused and a compassionate lawyer. Highly recommend her to anyone seeking counsel for work-related litigation cases.

She was thorough in her understanding of the complexities on both sides and focused on resolution with a fair and reasonable approach. She provided a realistic preview each step of the way, always listening int...ently while formulating her position and approach. She was very responsive and I appreciated her balanced perspective. I would definitely recommended her to others.

Highly Recommend

I feel I was truly blessed to have met Geniene Stillwell and have her representation for my case. The case took well over a year and I feel I was taken through this journey, one careful step at a time with her skillful knowledge and kind support. She and her staff were always available for questions ...and responded very promptly to any emails or calls. They handled every aspect of the case with professionalism and expertise. Geniene provided great advice and her excellent negotiation skills led to an outcome that was beyond what I had expected. I learned so much through all of this and I cannot really say enough about how much I appreciate all that she did for me. You could not ask for a better lawyer.

Geniene Stillwell, great Lawyer

Geniene Stillwell worked on my case for over a year, successfully negotiating a resolution that exceeded my expectations. She guided me every step of the way and was patient and kind, listening carefully and responding to my concerns. She returned calls and emails promptly and was always available ...to answer my questions thoughtfully. Ms. Stillwell is very knowledgeable about how to use strategies that will produce the best results for her clients. She worked closely with me, laying out multiple options for courses of action but always leaving the final decision up to me. She is an excellent negotiator and she will reliably produce the best possible outcome for her clients. The choice to use Geniene as my advocate was a very happy one; during the time we worked together we never had a misunderstanding or a contentious moment. I consider myself extremely fortunate to have found her. As a result of my experience with Ms. Stillwell I recommend her highly and without reservation.
