My daughter is in 6th grade and Gina has been helping us in some capacity for three years. I have been a legal secretary/assistant for 31 years (but never in education or family law; always big corporate stuff) but I know lawyers. In my 31 years I have never seen an attorney so truly passionate abou...t what they do. My daughter was adopted at age one from another country, where she had been so severely neglected as an infant that it affected her executive functioning, and as a result, auditory, language and sensory processing disorders affected the way she took in and processed all kinds of information. No school district we lived in (one in Virginia; then two in NY) ever did what they were required to do under law (Individuals with Disabilities Education Act) to give my daughter what she needed. I was out-jargoned at every committee on special education meeting to develop my daughter’s special ed plan (IEP). It was frustrating and humiliating, and meanwhile my daughter was suffering both academically and emotionally. I placed my daughter in a small private speced school and started calling education law attorneys to help me get tuition reimbursement. No one would help – they all told me I didn’t have a case worth their time. Not Gina. She helped me in different capacities – sometimes as an attorney representing us, sometimes as a teacher (to me; coaching me on what to do at CSE meetings and beyond) and with her on our side, so far my daughter’s had three years of tuition paid for by the school districts in which we live, when they refused to comply with the law and give her what she needs. Gina networks with other education attorneys locally and nationally and if she hasn’t personally worked a case in a certain school district, she will become familiar with how they operate. She makes sure she is familiar with what's going on in the world of education and education law. Her dedication to her clients is quite remarkable! Because of Gina, I now know that my daughter is going to have a good life, because she’s getting the foundation she needs.

Gina was recomended to my by another attorney, due to her knowledge and reputation. I had a bad situation with my sons educational rights. I had only 2 days to get someone to help me. I called several attorneys who didnt even want to know my name. I called Gina. She responded within 24hrs, heard me ...and took my sons case. In my eyes she will always be my sons guaridan angel. SHe worked day and night for us, She gave my sons future back to him. Plus introduced us to programs that would also help his future. I am forever grateful to her, anyone who hires this woman will not be disapointed, she is brilliant and she is true and most of all honest and careing. These kids are lucky to have someone like she. Thank u Gina, and may u always have great sucess. She puts her heart into everything she touches.
