Posted by Ray | April 04, 2012 | Child Support

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.

Separation Agreement - Final Review

When my husband and I finally finished our Separation Agreement with our Mediator, Gina was available immediately to go over the final review of it. She spent a lengthy amount of time with me; explaining the finer "legal" issues in a way that I was able to understand. Gina made sure that my financ...ial situation was secure, and that the Agreement itself represented the best interests of me and my son. She is easy to talk to, very knowledgeable, and has a very friendly, down to earth disposition. It was never a hassle or inconvenience to call her, as she always made me feel that my call was important to her. I would recommend Gina Marie DePrima to anyone who is looking for a compassionate and caring attorney.

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!!

Highly Recommend - Wonderful Attorney

I would highly recommend Gina as your attorney for any need you might have. I hired her in May 2011 for a couple issues and she continued to show me the upmost professionalism and caring attitude all the way till my case ended a few weeks ago, January 2012. Gina gives you her time and her knowledge... of the law and what rights you have. She listens to your wants and gives you her honest and professional opinion, never leaving you feeling she is looking down on you. Gina really honestly cares about her clients, her job doesn’t end at 5 pm, she will work late hours to get the job done and provide you with the representation you need/deserve. It was great to have an attorney that was in constant communication with you and when she said she would do something, she did it; she always went the extra mile. I couldn’t be happier to have had Gina represent me. Thank you Gina for caring and doing such a wonderful job, it’s obvious you view being an attorney as more than a just a job.
