Extremely Helpful

Gene was extremely helpful during a difficult time. He went above and beyond a simple consultation. I was overwhelmed with my situation, but he took the time to absorb the whole picture and gave me excellent guidance on moving forward. He was thorough and patient. The only reason I did not hire G...ene was because it turned out that I needed representation in a different state. I wish it could've been Gene though.

He took care my case very well

Mr. Gene has a small law firm. But just because his law firm is small, he takes care of his customer's case very well. He spent lots of time on my case, I know he couldn't earn a lot on my case, but he still treats my case very seriously. When you wanna choose a lawyer for your case, think about him.... The price is very fair. Service is much better than lots of big law firm. Small business deserve our support.

Great Job!

Gene did a wonderful job helping my wife and I set up our will. We have never done one before and he made the process very easy and enjoyable.

Smooth Process

Excellent service, always prompt in replying to my questions and explaining to me the step by step process of my case. I would highly recommend them.

Car Accident claim

Gene did an amazing job on my case! He communicated and negotiated well on my behalf. He explained the process thoroughly to me and I completely trusted him! He made this bad experience less stressful for me and protected my interests. I would recommend Gene because he listened to my needs and is ver...y knowledgeable!

He always went above and beyond to ensure the best results for the client while maintaining the integrity of a high volume civil practice. I have also worked with Gene on personal injury cases and he was always willing to take the time to explain the case in layman's terms showing patience and care for the clients who were in difficult situations. He was available all the time and worked diligently to get the best outcome. In summary, Gene is an impeccable attorney who truly cares about his clients and helping them in the best possible way.

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.
