This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Excellent!

I retained Tina as my divorce lawyer in April 2016. She was very thorough and handled my case extremely well. Tina was very quick to respond to any questions I had and I felt very confident that she had my and my son's best interests in mind. I would very highly recommend Tina!

She knew what she was doing and she actually cared!

I have never had a better experience with a lawyer, and unfortunately I've had more than my fair share. Tina didn't just talk like she knew what she was doing but she got my case dismissed! But what made me want to write this review more than getting a favorable outcome, I felt she was truly concer...ned with me and my situation, and though I know it isn't true, she made me feel like I was her only client. That is the biggest difference to me. She always knew everything about my case, and even reminded me of things I had forgotten. Tina, if you are reading this, you are the best, I can't thank you enough. Though I hope there isn't a next time, you will be my first and only call!

Great lawyer! I will be hiring her again when I get another ticket.

She made a deal with the state attorney before we went up to see the judge and I couldn't have been happier with the results. I ended up paying more in court costs than I did for fines! I would recommend her to anyone.

Couldn't have asked for better representation

Tina represented me in a child custody and child support case that lasted over 3 years. I was seeking full custody of my two children from a relationship where I was not married. After 3 long years and multiple court dates, we proceeded to a lengthy trial. Throughout the years, she continued to gi...ve me my options and possible outcomes for every option, including letting me know if a certain option would be more costly. She always returned every phone call and email, and she appeared at every court date - she never had a fill in. When I made the decision to proceed to a full blown trial, Tina knew my case better than I did! Her knowledge, professionalism, honesty, and her unbelievable ability to keep years of facts organized was amazing. I could not have asked for better representation throughout the entire process.

"I endorse this lawyer. I give Ms. Gagliano my highest recommendation. I have been a trial attorney for 17 years and have worked with and against literally hundreds of attorneys. Ms. Gagliano is one of the best. I recently conducted a hearing with her where the judge stated that Ms. Gagliano had given one of the best closing arguments that she (the Judge) had seen in years. The judge perceived correctly. Ms. Gagliano is sharp, witty, organized and no matter what court room she is in, and no matter what type of case, you can be assured that Ms. Gagliano is the most prepared person in the room."
