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 pra...gmatic 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 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!

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 minu...tes 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 fir...m 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
