Client Reviews
"Gene was great to work with - very knowledgeable and helpful throughout the process, offering great advise to make sure I was protected and that everything was in order."
"Gene is fantastic to work with. He takes issues to heart and shows great stewardship through the legal process. It's refreshing as a small business owner to have a legal professional that understands the business side and is willing to tackle problems creatively. I can't recommend him enough!"
"Helpful, and informative. Was a pleasure discussing planโs forward in securing a patent."
"Gene has been fantastic!! He helped me navigate a complicated contractual disagreement for a difficult client. He also reviewed our contracts (which were drafted by a very expensive business attorney) and flagged potential loopholes and vagueness regarding possible client rejection of deliverables, termination, and other scenarios wherein a client might claim dissatisfaction with our performance. These issues were not clearly addressed in our previous contracts, but unfortunately they have come up. With his counsel we now have the knowledge and support going forward. We have revised our agreements to address the issues Gene flagged. He has potentially saved my company hundreds of thousands in future losses. I highly recommend him for any help with business contracts and IP issues. Iโve been so happy with him that I recommended him to a friend needing counsel for their tech start up. Worth his weight in gold!! Alexandra R."
"Gene was incredibly helpful. He was able to turn this project around on a very tight timeline with short notice. His insights and suggestions were thoughtful and very valuable. Will definitely work with Gene again in the future!"
"Had a great experience working with Gene and will work together again!"
