Testimonials

"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."

- David Brand, President, Spray-Tek, Inc.


"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."

- George Jacobs, President, Jacobs Enterprises, Inc.


"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."

-Captain Michael Panzera, New Jersey National Guard

"We have all heard a lot of lawyer jokes…the lawyers at the bottom of the ocean being a good start, etc.  But it is no joke when you find a colleague that you would actually hire to represent yourself.  Someone whose intellect and integrity you respect, who upholds the standards of the profession that actually drew you to the law in the first place.  This is what I have found in Gene Killian.  He is a great resource for my firm and for my clients."
