Gene Chastain was a tremendous help with our wills and business documents!

My wife and I were looking for help with our wills and powers of attorney, and Gene was a great fit for helping us through the process! Once we started working on everything, we realized he could help us with a few other things as well including an operating agreement and quit claim deeds for our bu...siness. Gene made the whole experience very easy to understand and seamless so we are much appreciative of his efforts on that front. If we ever need additional help, we will definitely reach out to him!!

Relationship: Co-worker

"I worked with Gene in my previous law firm where he mentored younger attorneys and managed the civil litigation for the firm. 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. I really enjoyed working with him."

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.
