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 w...as 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

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 yea...rs, 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 sta...nds 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!

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 Sarin...a, 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.
