Washington, DC Business Attorney Gene Policastri 

When entrepreneurs and executives in large and small businesses have legal questions, Gene Policastri has answers.  As the firm’s founder, Gene draws on more than three decades of unique legal experience to help clients get to the root cause of legal disputes and craft a solution with an eye toward what’s next. 

Gene is a problem solver first. That means regularly crafting a solution to the specific legal dispute or issue at hand. Often, however, it also involves probing below the surface to understand the larger problem and resolve it in a way that is cognizant of potential future litigation. He has built a solid reputation with clients for taking the time to personally understand their circumstances and needs. Gene also prides himself on giving the people and entities that he represents an honest assessment of the situation. 

At Policastri Law Firm, LLC, Gene and our team of Washington, DC Metropolitan Area business attorneys are committed to building strong relationships with the clients that we represent. We draw on those relationships to develop solutions that are tailored to your needs.
