| Gene Killian handled a complex business insurance matter for us and was able to negotiate an excellent settlement of a difficult claim without having to go to trial. He is smart, practical and easy to work with. I recommend him without hesitation.

Gene Killian handled an environmental matter for me. His advice has been good and his service prompt and efficient. I recommend him without hesitation.

Gene Killian has represented me for years in some of my more complicated and sensitive matters. In each and every case, he has been both pragmatic and yet aggressive on my behalf. He negotiates hard, but also knows how to resolve a problem in a way that is satisfactory to all of the parties. I continue to use him and his firm as a result.

My previous employer laid me off on 1 Apr 09, when I was in Baghdad, Iraq in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom. I was faced with coming home to no job and having no income. My best efforts to settle with them went nowhere. They basically told me don't bother us and offered me no compensation. The State Bar Association and Gene Killian stepped up to help me for free. I ended up settling for [a confidential sum]. [The company] got punished for what they did to me and I received compensation, and I now have closure. What means the most to me, is that both the NJSBA and Gene offered their support to me. Many people and organizations don't support soldiers and some are outright hostile. While I am very proud of what I did, it was very hard on me and my family, but all is good because I had the honor and privilege to defend our great country and the rest of my days will be gravy.

Litigation. n. A machine which you go into as a pig and come out of as a sausage. -- Ambrose Bierce, “The Devil’s Dictionary” (1911) Litigation is the pursuit of practical ends, not a game of chess. --Felix Frankfurter, Indianapolis v. Chase National Bank, 314 U.S. 63, 69 (1941) The fact is that while counsel can be measured by objective means, few companies do so effectively. As a result, the selection of counsel is based on the principles of risk aversion and career protection…A deeper analysis reveals that this strategy is average at best. More likely, it wastes millions of dollars with no real accountability for the results. --D. DiCicco, "Litigation Management," Claims Magazine, March 2010 Woe unto you lawyers! for ye have taken away the key of knowledge: ye entered not in yourselves, and them that were entering in ye hindered. --Luke 11:52 (KJV)
