Unprofessional and short tempered
After retaining his service he was rarely available to take or return phone calls. His legal assistant works from home, so no one is present at this office full time. I felt like I was his least important client. He didn't show up at my court date and when I called to ask about why he didn't come, ...

Not very good lawyer - not nice, either
Representation was bad. Does not clearly provide full details including consequences of options/plea. Not there to represent at follow-up hearings. Not very responsive. Not good at communicating and providing status. Makes derogatory remarks if you follow-up and ask for status.

"Over a decade ago when I was a prosecutor, Mr. Piculell and I squared off in trial. I thought the case was a slam dunk conviction. I didn't know then what I know now- If Mr. Piculell is your lawyer you stand to drastically improve your chances of NOT GUILTY at trial. He is an exceptional trial lawyer."
"Gene Piculell is a warrior in the courtroom. To this day he is my go to colleague anytime I need the advice of a seasoned pro. You will not find a criminal defense lawyer who is as experienced and fearless in trial as Gene Piculell. His compassion and confidence set him apart from other attorneys. If you're facing serious criminal charges you need to call Gene."
"I am a criminal defense attorney in Portland, Oregon. I am licensed in both Washington and Oregon and have over 25 years of experience in serious felony cases including Rape and Aggravated Murder. Having known Gene professionally for over 20 years–I have on a number of occasions referred cases to Gene with consistent, successful, and impressive results. From all that I have referred, there has been consistent feedback of the cases either being dismissed, or having a successful and substantial reduction of the charges. Without question, Gene is a most aggressive, fearless, and successful criminal defense attorney. His Trial skills are mesmerizing. He’s simply the best at what he does. If you are looking for a genuine, experienced, trusted attorney that gets the job done, give Gene a call – he’s the go-to guy in Washington."
"I have worked with Mr. Piculell extensively over the years on many cases. I first met Gene when I was a prosecutor and have tried cases against him and he has also appeared before me in criminal cases when I served as a Judge, Pro Tempore. He is a professional through and through. On each case he demonstrates absolute commitment to each client. I have seen Mr. Piculell work successfully on numerous high profile cases, with national and local media attention and scrutiny, and just as importantly on countless defense cases that don’t get any media attention at all- but are just as important to him and his clients-DV Assaults, DWI/DUI., Theft, VUCSA/Drug cases, to name a few. To all, to each, he dedicates himself to bringing about the best result for his client. Gene has tried more cases to jury trial than probably any licensed attorney I know. That is where he makes his reputation-in the courtroom, persuading juries."
"Mr. Piculell is incredibly kind, compassionate, and yet tough on prosecutors. He works hard for his clients, and I recommend and endorse Mr. Piculell 100%. Do not hesitate to entrust your case with him!"
"I have referred several complicated criminal law matters to Eugene with the confidence that my clients will be treated with the utmost respect and professionalism. Eugene is an extremely competent attorney who has learned to balance the rigors of a fast paced trial practice with the realization that each client's case is the most important matter in that person's world at a time of turmoil and anxiety. I highly recommend Attorney Piculell for both his litigation skills and his ability to resolve matters that are in the best interest of his client. Eugene is that rare lawyer who can balance the intricacies of black letter law with a common sense approach to his client's individual needs."
