Amazing Lawyer

When faced with my first DUI charge, Ginny helped not only to explain each the charges against me, but also the seriousness of each charge and chances of getting it dismissed in court. I chose to go for a plea bargain, and she managed to get the charge dropped down to a mere reckless driving. If you'...re looking for legal help, Ginny is worth every cent and more.

Passionate and empathetic

Being a third time DWI offender I was overwhelmed with emotions about the possible outcome. Contacting Ginny after I was release was one of the best decisions of made. She provided clairity with regards to the law and guidence to what I needed to do get my license back. I had no issues communicati...ng via phone, text or email. She did not promise me anything but I felt at ease knowing that she was handling my case.

Blessed with the best

This review for Virginia took me about two years to post simply because there aren't words that can describe the superb work this woman has put into my case. Virginia handled my first firearm charge in 2013 and together we fought the case until early 2015 when the prosecuter finally dropped the charg...es. The way she listened and took everything I had to say into consideration was unbelievable because she was an appointed attorney who worked like she was being paid . She picked up almost every phone call and if she didnt she always returned them as soon as she can. Having her handle my case was a blessing she treated me like a human being and assured me that whether we win or lose she will put up a fight . She believed in my innocence and that's a critical part of having someone as your lawyer . She's a beast in the court rooms and if you ever need a dependable lawyer who's got your back all the way without hesitation then she's your girl. A fair fight where justice is really served. Can't thank you enough Virginia.

Strongly Recommend

I found myself in need of 2 attorneys for felony offenses. Ginny was recommended to me from an attorney in another state. After our initial consultation, I knew that I had found the best. She proved this many times throughout the months that she worked for me. Ginny followed through on her promise ...to keep me informed promptly and the lines of communication with her were flawless. I saw Ginny at her Best on the day of our final hearing. I still had some concerns regarding a provision in the plea agreement. Ginny had listened to me regarding this and prepared well. On our day in court, Ginny was already there arranging a meeting with The Judge, D.A., and our 2nd attorney who had Not listened and had resigned to the plea agreement. I will never forget the smile on her face as she was finally able to round them all up and led them back to the Judges chambers for her battle. Ginny came out with the outcome I had hoped for even against a very stubborn District Attorney. I can't emphasize enough how highly I think of her and her abilities! Ginny's knowledge, advice and work ethic are immeasurable and she always treated me with respect. If you need an attorney that will Focus on your needs, Call Ginny!

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
