"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."

"We were confronted with a big book of onerous information security commitments at a very late stage in the sales process for b2b SaaS services. Gene made it a point to understand Google's real issues and to use that to substantially simplify and surgically revise a problematic barrier to something we could both live with, close the deal and move on to a partnership."

"Gene negotiated complex, global content rights with Korea's largest entertainment company while we were a small scrappy startup. He got us what we needed, on time, on budget, and maintained an excellent business relationship throughout some tough negotiations. I would definitely use Gene again for deals where I needed a confident advocate by my side."
