About
I provide plain-spoken and hands-on drafting, advising, review and negotiation of business, commercial, licensing and IP transactions and matters - basically anything under the sun that companies I represent are likely to encounter. I work with entrepreneurs, small… read more business owners, senior executives and c-suite management, and have been in the trenches as a general counsel.
I actively manage and communicate time and cost. And so we can quickly start diving in, I take away any worries about budget busting, with my "satisfaction" never pay more than you think fair, period.

Client Reviews
"Gene was very helpful and knowledgeable. I appreciated how he was available on short notice!"
"Gene was really lovely to work with! He dug deep into the contract I was reviewing and fought for me to know what I was agreeing to."
"Gene is a highly competent and efficient attorney. He listened to and understood our needs well before getting started and was able to provide very well-researched, multifaceted legal guidance that has shaped the foundation of our newest startup. We also found him to be very fair and honest is his billing. We highly recommend Gene."
"Quick and quality work"
"Gene is fantastic. He makes a commitment to clients that he will charge X amount of billable hours on a job and then puts in the work required to satisfy the client. Unlike any other lawyer I've ever worked with, he charged me LESS money than he could have and didn't stop until the job was done. I will be using Gene again and again. I couldn't be more pleased with the experience."
"Gene is an amazing human being! I had the pleasure to work with him on a document that needed a deep understanding of a tricky investor relationship. With his guidance, I was confident I was making the best choice to address the issue."
