Gina Marie Christensen Messamer

Because if I am ever again in need of the services of an attorney I will be calling her and no one else. When you hire private counsel, you are not paying someone to simply talk to a judge, anyone can do that. What your really paying for his confidence, you’re paying for the ability to walk into a co...urt room with your head held high knowing that the outcome is in the best hands possible. That is exactly what Gina delivers. She was able to reach an outcome in my case that didn’t ruin my family’s lives. The state wanted to send me to prison for a legal pistol I had in a locked bag for the crime of not ejecting the magazine. I am not from Iowa and do not have a local CWP, I also didn't realize the mag not being separated made it a crime. I was pulled over on my way to work for a traffic violation and the cop asked if he could verify the gun wasn't stolen. Not thinking there was anything wrong I agreed and was subsequently charged with concealing a firearm without a permit. The state wanted to send me to prison and permanently remove my right on fire arms, Gino was able to get my charge reduced and ultimately sealed I did six months of probation paid my court fees and that was it. Gina did a fantastic job and I would highly recommend her to anyone else who wants to face the judge with confidence.

Gina was highly recommended to me (by lawyer friends) as an aggressive and excellent criminal lawyer who has won some high-profile cases and isn't afraid of going to court. She was terrific in handling my case (drug charges). She was very good at answering my questions, making sure I was clear on the... legal options/ process, and offering good legal advice on the basis of the evidence. Gina got me a better plea deal than what other lawyers I consulted with thought that they could get me (no conviction if I pass probation); she negotiated strongly on my behalf and kept me updated on progress of my case. This was done at a reasonable cost (lower cost than prices cited by other lawyers that I consulted with earlier). I highly recommend Gina to anyone with a criminal charge. She will advocate for you intelligently and aggressively!
