Best Divorce Attorney Ever!
Sarina was most helpful in my divorce. She kept me in the loop at all times, and answered all of my many questions. She is very caring, and I would recommend her to anyone in my situation. Thanks Sarina!

Thank you Sarina ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Sarina and Gloria were an absolute pleasure to work. From beginning to end. Explained everything to me, made me aware of my options and most importantly offering their guidance to my ex husband with anything he had questions or concerns about. They went above and beyond. It’s not easy even if things are amicable and Sarina gave me options and guidance towards what she believed would be the best thing for myself and best outcome for my/our situation. I took her advice and am absolutely satisfied and would work with you again 100%. Sarina and Gloria THANK YOU!

Very happy client
I contacted Sarina as well as a few other lawyers initially for a consultation. What I liked about Sarina, besides the fact that she was extremely knowledgeable and professional, was how she explained my situation to me as well as her questioning me to fully understand what I was going through. She was honest and explained the law and not just what I wanted to hear. I felt that she had my best interest and was willing to do everything she could to help me. She responded in an efficient timely matter to calls and emails. I was going through an extremely stressful time and she helped me navigate this whole process and earned my trust that she had my side in a professional matter.

Absolutely awesome
I retained Ms Sarina Gianna to clear up a case that was 23 years old. I had no records except the county the case occurred. Ms Gianna was absolutely amazing. She was able to quickly recover the records and proceed to resolve the matter that ended up in a court hearing. Ms Gianna clearly knew the law and over matched our adversary. She delivered our court arguments with poise, confidence, knowledge and tenacity. She was very impressive and you should look no further if you need her assistance. Highly recommended. Great work and thank you Sarina

Best Lawyer in NJ:
Where do I begin, Sarina Gianna is the most upfront & honest attorney in New Jersey. Her legal firm represented me in the past and helped pull me out of a complex child custody case, and now years later - she’s done so again… Sarina WILL take the time to hear you out and won’t rush you to make an impulse decision. She’s helpful, intelligent, loyal, courteous, responsive and extremely straightforward about what your expectations and options are with your case… She takes the time to know & understand her clients and their situation. She doesn’t see your matter as “just another case” - she will actually listen to you and remember minute details about it. She saved me months of back-and -forth headaches and quickly resolved my case matter issues in just a few short weeks. She will also take clients’ calls/emails way past normal business hours and work with you on her time off - even during the holidays. I’m forever grateful to Sarina for her help, advice and direction. I cannot recommend Ms. Gianna and her legal team enough!

You won't be disappointed with Sarina
I hired Sarina to take care of an alimony case. The level of professionalism was a pleasant surprise. Sarina always got back to me in a timely manner. Everything was explained to me step by step throughout the entire process. My case was settled quickly and without a problem. I've recently gone back for advice on a separate matter. I will definitely be retaining Sarina for a future case. If you need a family lawyer i highly recommend Sarina. You will not be disappointed.

Excellent lawyer and team, highly recommend
It goes without saying that filing for a divorce is one of the most stressful situations one can ever experience. When I sat down for my initial consultation with Sarina, my mind was filled with worry, and so many questions. Sarina took the time to answer all my questions and concerns in the most pragmatic and honest manner possible. She listened and immediately made me feel at ease, she helped me understand what the law is, and what to expect with the divorce process. After the consultation, I knew that hiring her would be the best choice to represent me through this difficult process. Between Sarina and Gloria, no questions have gone unanswered and no concern were ignored. I had nothing but positive experiences with Sarina and her staff. If you retain Sarina, you will not be disappointed. I'm so grateful to have her had her on my side through this difficult time! I HIGHLY recommend her to anyone who needs the BEST.

Professional, Competent, Honest, Fearless
I needed an attorney who could change the ruling of a QDRO that was part of my divorce more than 20 years ago. This had to do with the pension plans for myself and my ex-wife. This was ruled as being 50 / 50, but this was not as equitable as it might seem. There was a huge imbalance of employment years, thus creating a major deficit in my pension payments. I only wanted what was fairly due me and I was willing to relinquish my share of my ex-wife's pension. My ex-wife agreed to this change, but did not want to initiate the undertaking. I called a short list of attorneys I deemed capable and chose Sarina Gianna because she knew that this should be able to be done, even though she had never heard of it being done before. Other attorneys were not sure how to even start the proceedings. She was completely honest with me right from the beginning and followed her game plan to a successful completion. She even followed up with the courts continually when she knew that paperwork was in their possession, paperwork that should have been signed by a judge and returned to her, but never was. The courts looked into this and found an error. Finally, the process was completed. Sarina was totally professional and never tried to pad the billing. She proved herself to be completely honest and I trusted her completely. It is a good feeling to have.

Excellent Lawyer
Sarina Gianna, Esq. is a very knowledgeable, strong, honest, straightforward and compassionate lawyer. During our first consultation, I knew right away that Sarina was the perfect lawyer for me. She takes the time to learn about your situation and guides you throughout your legal issue. Sarina stands up and fights for what is right and fair for you. I always had her full support and caring touch. She was powerful and strong when dealing with the other lawyer yet handled herself with grace and respect. Sarina’s paralegal, Gloria, is a strong, honest and compassionate person. She builds you up and encourages you to be strong and to stand up for yourself for what is right. Gloria was like a cheerleader for me – building me up when I was down and guiding me through a very difficult time in my life. My phone calls and emails were always returned in a timely manner. Sarina and Gloria make an awesome team. They guide and encourage you to be strong and confident to get you through your situation. With Sarina’s and Gloria’s help and support, you are set forth on a good path of life with grace and dignity. Make this team your support system for a positive outcome of a new chapter in your life!

11/10 for Sarina Gianna
Sarina and Gloria (her paralegal) were absolutely amazing. I've hired lawyers for silly things (like traffic court) in the past where the "lawyer" you pay a few hundred dollars to shows up, doesn't know a thing about your case until that morning and then does the absolute bare minimum for the 15 minutes he feels you've paid him for and then he moves along to the next. This is NOT what this law firm was about. Sarina and I worked closely together throughout my year-long plus custody trial. She was engaged and informed throughout the entire process. Most importantly, she listened to me and we worked through this very hard time of my life together. She never told me what I wanted to hear and she worked till the bitter end to help me win my case. If I had to do it again, I don't know what I would do without her. If you have a family legal issue in your life (I don't envy you), whether divorce, child support or custody there is no one I could possibly suggest you hire other than Ms. Gianna. Sarina wasn't just my legal representative, she was my friend. Through what was one of the most trying and yet most private time of my life she did it with professionalism and expertise. 11/10!

Positive Matrimony Resolution
From my 1st meeting with Sarina we discussed my case and what actions need to be taken, I discovered a skilled professional that not only understood marital laws, but also has a strong believe that based on today’s laws, past settlements can be modified to benefit her client Sarina always took a firm stand when it came to my best interest she spoke about the pros and cons on all issues and clearly defined possible outcomes; both she and her paralegal Gloria were always available to answer questions and worked to achieve a very favorable outcome I highly recommend their knowledge and professionalism

A thorough professional
Sarina handled my divorce smoothly, professionally, and quickly. And when it finally went to court, she was kind and supportive. She saved me so much - financially and emotionally. Before engaging her, I nearly went it alone, and also considered a divorce center. Both would've huge mistakes.

I highly recommend Sarina
We all know that going through a divorce can be one of the most overwhelming and stressful times in a person’s life. Having my original attorney, who didn’t have my best interest at hand made it even more difficult. That’s when I decided to switch attorneys. During my initial consultation with Sarina, I could immediately tell she was genuine and sincere. She made me feel so comfortable. She took the time to listen and address all of my concerns which made the process less stressful. Sarina and Gloria continually kept me updated throughout my entire divorce process. I truly believe that Sarina cares about her clients and will do her best to represent them. I would highly recommend her to anyone who is going through a divorce.

Honest, Straightforward and Compassionate Representation
I had no doubt in my mind after speaking to Sarina on the phone before our first consultation two years ago that she was the one to represent my family in a very emotional, difficult and contentious custody/removal from state situation. She is extremely honest, straightforward, compassionate and very knowledgeable in how she approaches your unique situation. Sarina will tell you from the get-go what you are going up against and what your best options are and always with the best interest of the child in mind, which should always remain in focus in such cases. I could go on and on with accolades about Sarina and what she has accomplished for our family. But behind every great lawyer is a great staff, and I cannot say enough about Sarina’s paralegal, Gloria for all the support and information she has also provided to us. Gloria is always right on top of things and keeps everyone informed with any developments and is always there to answer a question, give advice or talk you off the ledge if you are feeling overwhelmed. There is nobody else we’d want by our side with dealing with custody issues than Sarina and Gloria. And there is no doubt in our minds that they are fully committed to doing right by their clients with their excellent legal representation in family court matters and fighting for what is in the best interest of the child(ren) involved as it should be.
