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.

Excellent Laywer

Mrs. Gionta and her staff were excellent with my questions and returning my calls. Mrs. Gionta was there for me emotional through my process and always their in court on time for me. She gave me a price to retain her and I made her aware I could not afford to pay her in one sum. Mrs. Gionta worked a ...pay plan for me, she believed in me and in the end cleared my name. Her Sectary is as kind as her boss. I will highly recommend this wonderful attorney and staff to anyone. You are treated with compassion from the moment you go into her office. God blesss Laywers like her that trust in their clients.

One of the best

I am the mother of two children and I fought several years against the father of my two daughters. I couldn't have found a better attorney than Barbara. She fought side by side with me against the worse accusations from the other party. She never gave up on my case. I've had three other attorney befo...re Barbara and they all realized how hard and difficult this case would be. They also realized how manipulative the father and his attorney was. Once they realized those difficulties, they gave up on me.  Barbara is a fighter and made sure that justice was well served. I received custody after multiple court trials. I thank Barbara everyday that I have with my daughters. I would recommend Barbara Gionta to anyone who needs support, reliability and a strong helping hand.
