MESSAGE FROM EUGEINA: Although litigation is one of my passions, I often encourage clients to also consider alternative avenues to bring a more satisfying and cost effective resolution to a dispute. This quality has resulted in timely settlement of numerous disputes to the satisfaction of the client.

 

Apart from my legal career, I highly value time spent with family. When I am not spending time with family, I enjoy pouring my energy into the lives of young people. I am a newly appointed Director of the INSPIRE Group Limited; a program geared toward youth and adolescent mentoring and development.
