HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

I used Gina for my divorce attorney. She definitely got the job done, unlike the first one I was using. Although a little pricey, you get what you pay for. I'm glad I decided to go with her and commend her for everything she helped me with. She worked in a timely manner and was able to take on my cas...e no problem as it was a little crazy. She's easy to talk to and responds to you pretty promptly. I would recommend her to anyone.

The best decision I made!

Gina is the best Attorney I could ever ask for. She is highly knowledgeable, returns phone calls and e-mails promptly, knows the court system inside and out. She also gives great advice when you are unsure handling this new stressful situation. Going to court can be a very nerve-racking experience, b...ut Gina Deprima, Esq. eases the stress of that, with her you can have the confidence she is going to fight for you. She is persistent and won my case. She handled my child custody case and divorce. I am very happy with the outcome and recommend you chose her as your attorney!

Great Lawyer

Very attentive to my situation. She was extremely understanding and informative with my custody case. Answered any question i had in a reasonable time frame. She made my case very easy for me and resolved it quickly. Would definately recommend and will definately use her services again with any other... issues with custody.

Just fantastic!!!

When I first went to Gina about my child support case she was very upfront, very knowledgeable and it seemed that she knew what exactly was going to happen or not happen. As I presented my case to Gina she recommended certain avenues that I would benefit most from. From that she explained her fees wh...ich were very acceptable and simple to understand. My case was a child support issue with one child involved and she was getting ready to turn 18. I hadn’t paid child support for just about 5 years because I had raised my other 2 children and among other circumstances, now my ex-wife wanted child support again. In the end Gina had negotiated an agreement that would and is most beneficial to and to me and the child and I DO NOT PAY CHILD SUPPORT. The most important thing is that, I believe, is that Gina handles your case and paralegals or legal secretaries.

Ms.Colon

I have had the pleasure of working with Mrs. De Prima for several years now and highly recommend her services. Mrs. De Prima has handled my divorce, visitation and relocation case. She is committed to her clients and their well being. She will never settle and ensure you are comfortable with each ste...p of the court process. She truly brought me peace and comfort during a very difficult time in my life. Thanks Gina!!
