“Chris Gunter is a fine family attorney. I had the pleasure of interacting recently with his partner Gene Anthes. Gene was extremely kind, helpful and quick to respond to my needs. Thanks to everyone associated with this firm.”
Lee G.
“Gene was referred to me by a friend and I must say, I couldn’t be happier. Gene was very professional, exceptionally responsive and made me feel at ease with everything. He took the time to explain my options and was communicative every step of the way. He was always available for any questions along the way. Highly recommend.”
Hannan S.

“Gene is the best!!! He was my attorney for a case I had in 2015. He got everything settled, and still to this day assists me with any questions or legal matters regarding that same case. He always responds to emails and phone calls quickly. It truly feels like once you hire Gene he will help you for life. Rough situation that has been much more bearable with Gene and the whole firm at GBA. Thanks!!!”

Zach A.

“I was lost with my case and was told not to worry about it. After speaking with Gene Anthes he explained in detail how everything was going to work. He fought hard for me and won my civil case. I gave full trust to Gene and he delivered. Gene Anthes is an amazing lawyer and highly recommended. He went above and beyond to fight for me and always kept me informed. I never felt lost during the process. His partners even helped and showed true professionalism. Thank you so much Gene.”
