She is a strong advocate who knows the law in and out (having argued one of the only published pet custody cases in the state) and is a strong advocate for her client. Nonetheless, she works with the utmost professionalism and applies a collaborative approach to resolving matters. It was clear that Gina works to protect the best interests of her client and also the pets involved in a dispute. She is a skilled attorney and wonderful colleague."
"Gina is a tough but fair prosecutor. She knows the Law inside and out and uses it to her best advantage. I have recommended Gina for many matters, some involving the legal issues for pet owners as well as for matrimonial issues. Everyone I have referred to Gina has appreciated her services and called me to thank me for sending them to Gina."
"If I ever need an attorney, I will seek representation from Gina Calogero. Gina Calogero has years of litigation expertise and is one of the most effective attorney's I have ever met. She is extremely articulate and has a brilliant legal mind. She is an ardent fighter in all areas of the law that she practices.
