Gene’s work fighting for clients has been recognized by Chambers and other legal publications for years. Chambers has described Gene as a “strong, zealous advocate” with a “sophisticated criminal defense practice.” Clients appreciate Gene’s personal attention and commented to Chambers that Gene “is able to distill complex legal issues into relevant and bite-sized pieces for the [client] to digest. He is a wonderful counsellor.”
