I worked with Mr.Bennett though he was Alan right out of the gate. His friendly demeanor, knowledge, experience, familiarity with the system and people in it, etc. put me at ease. And I was NOT at ease going in. There was great communication throughout. I believe I got the best resolution possible. Very happy with his representation.

Gene was amazing and quick to take care of my daughter when her friend (whom she was allowing to live in her apartment for free) lied to the police and got her in trouble. He took care of everything and was excellent about communicating every step and updating us along the way. I highly recommend him for your legal matter.

Allan Bennett is an amazing lawyer, he never left my side in or out of court. He is very kind, understanding, considerate. He is very helpful in every aspect. I'm very grateful for how he helped me, he's a life changer. He's willing to give his all to defend, and now I can look towards to a better future because of Mr. Allen Bennett. Thank you so much again!

GBA was recommended to me by a friend, and I’m forever thankful for the referral. I was distraught and afraid when I called and was able to speak to someone immediately about the matter. I was also able to get an appointment the next day, time was of the essence. Not only was I treated with respect, GBA was fair, thorough, and reasonable in respect to a retainer for my needs. All through the process, communication was clear and easy. They are responsive with questions, transparent on fees, and always straightforward with my next steps. If you need someone who will go to bat for you and is on the ball with your matter, who you can trust, this is THE firm. I really can’t say enough good things about GBA. I feel I was represented by the best.

I was unable to secure the services of Mr. Bennett. However, that sis t stop him from offering useful advice and sending me recommendations of other attorneys in the area that I might be able to use! He went WAY above and beyond what he probably didn’t have time for in order to try and help me out!

I couldn’t be happier with Gene and his team in the way he help myself and my wife through a 2nd Amendment situation. My faith in the justice system is restored thanks to his hard work and professionalism.

Gene Anthes was hired to assist with four, separate criminal charges that were levied against me by a neighbor who was friends with the police. I committed no crimes. Gene worked efficiently and consistently and cleared my with full dismissals of all four charges. Gene kept his word that my flat fee covered everything, even trial and never asked for another cent. Additionally at the time of the charges, I had to pay him in installments and he was patient and professional the entire time. It was a joy to work with Gene. He is a stand up, honest, hard working and capable attorney. I would highly recommend him. Pete F.

I'm relatively new in town and my lawyer is elsewhere. I started perusing the Internet to find a lawyer here in Austin who could help me get a conviction for a Travis County traffic ticket dismissed from my record. I was attracted to the GBA Firm & The Cohen Firm because of the photos of the lawyers. They were dressed in suits and there was an air of sophistication there; just exactly like my idea of how a lawyer should look. It was important to me to have my ticket dismissed and I wanted the person representing me in the courtroom to be formal and respectful towards the judge. I looked at the bios of the lawyers and their credentials were top notch. So I called and Gene Anthes called me back immediately. I called a lot of firms that day, but Gene Anthes impressed me because - when he called me back - he knew the courts. He knew the systems. He was familiar with the judge who would handle my case and he knew how to handle everything. He didn't mind answering all my questions on that phone call. I hung up with him and looked at my notes. I didn't make a decision then; I waited a day or two. The fee for Gene to handle it was a bit higher than the other lawyers. Did I want to spend that amount on a firm like his? Yes, I did. It would be a temporary setback for me and the ticket, if dismissed, would be dismissed forever. I decided that I would spend the money, get the best lawyer I could find, and that way I could put the matter to rest in my mind. Whatever the verdict, I would always know that I hired the best of the best. And I was able to quit worrying and just give the matter to him. It took a while. He gave me his cell phone number and - when I texted him - he responded. And then I got the beautiful message that the ticket was dismissed! RELIEF! So I congratulate myself for asking Gene Anthes to handle it for me. Thank you Gene and the rest of the staff at GBA Firm & The Cohen Firm! I hope I never need your services again, but if I do, you've won my trust and respect and I would hire you again, without a second thought.
