Amazing Attorney

--What a difference and refreshing experience we had with Barbara Gionta. Being referred to her and hiring her was the best decision we made regarding our custody/visitation case. Barbara was forthcoming about what we could expect and listened to our needs, concerns and frustrations we've encounter...ed before. Because we are grandparents, our case was complicated, but we felt confident in her ability to guide us through our situation. Working with her was a blessing and we are thankful for her constant communication throughout the process. Barbara's knowledge of the law was reassuring and comforting. We would recommend her to anyone who's looking for not just an attorney but one who truly cares for her clients. She is AMAZING!! Thank you, thank you, thank you Barbara!!

Experience Counts!

We hired Barbara twice for family court matters, and both times we were very impressed with her professionalism, knowledge, and dedication. Her prior experience as a county judge and assistant district attorney is evident in the way she handles cases — she is confident, well prepared, and has a deep ...understanding of family law. She explained everything clearly, kept us informed throughout the process, and made a difficult situation much easier on us. We would not have hired her a second time if we didn’t have complete trust in her abilities. Barbara Gionta is highly recommended to anyone needing experienced family court representation.

Barbara Gionta is an amazing attorney !

If I could give Barbara Gionta 10 stars, I would. Facing false allegations was the most terrifying experience of my life, however Barbara was my rock. She was calm, strategic, and professional, immediately putting me at ease. She didn’t treat me like a case number, she treated me like a person, wi...th dignity and respect . Thanks to her aggressive advocacy and deep knowledge of the law, my case was dismissed . Barbara Gionta is worth every penny—don't hesitate to hire her!

The best!

Mrs.Gionta is nothing short than an excellent lawyer. She walks by your side the whole process while maintaining professionalism and guiding you to excellence. She will answer any questions you have and doesn’t treat you like just another job. She was with me during the worst time of my life that I w...asn’t sure I was going to be able to get through. She pushed me through to win and on pure honesty. She is never short on details when other lawyers did not want to take the time to even listen. She gave her heart to my case and made me feel seen. I can’t say that other lawyers have passion like she does. I would recommend her to absolutely anyone who is in legal need. Mrs.Gionta will always hold high respect to me due to everything she did to help me during the hard time. THANK YOU MRS.GIONTA!!!!!

Ethical, compassionate Lawyer!

Barbara tells it like it is. You may not want to hear it, but she always tells you the truth. She is highly ethical and knows her way around the Rockland County Court house. I wish I had hired her first. I would have had a much more favorable intial outcome. You can count on Barbara when it count...s most.
