About Gina

Biography

I have been practicing Elder Law exclusively for over 12 years. I can guide clients through all aspects of aging including estate planning, family caregivers, moving into to a senior community, Medicare, Medicaid and Veteran's Aid & Attendance Benefits.

I make estate planning stress-free and easy to understand. Whether you have a basic estate planning need or complicated case, I can help.

My goal is to maximize the comfort and security of my clients. I handle all aspects of planning and applying for long term care Medicaid for people in nursing homes, Supportive (Assisted) Living Facilities and those receiving services at home.

A Trust can provide peace of mind knowing that you have taken the steps to protect and guide your loved ones after you have passed away. I focus on providing Trust based estate plans to everyday people with a sub-focus on helping families with disabled children.

I Am Passionate About Serving Seniors & Provide A Family Centered, Personalized Approach.

Super Helpful and Informed

Gina was helpful, patient, and informative during our Zoom call, and I would not hesitate to hire her, if need be, or refer her to others.

Estate Planning

Gina worked with us to set up our estate planning portfolio. She was very thorough and organized. She counseled us on the best way to set up our portfolio for the benefit of our heirs. She made a process that can be difficult and overwhelming seem less complicated. The final result of our Estate ...Planning Portfolio exceeded our expectations. She was very professional, easy to work with and a truly pleasant person! Would highly recommend her.

Ms Gina Jo Salamone

My name is Aurora Rodriguez I was married for 40 years . My husband was in charge of our finances and I never imagined that he would one day not be capable of handling our affairs. Last year I found my self feeling helpless and in need of all kinds of legal assistance. I was so lucky to be referred t...o Ms Gina ., She immediately visited us at the nursing home and took care of my case. Peace of mind was restored for my family. Her secretary Ms Bonnie had also all the necessary tools for solutions to an non ending maze of questions that elderly women can encounter when our partner is disabled. Thanks Gina and Bonnie.

Executive Assistant

Gina did the Estate Planning for my late husband and me. After he passed away, she was extremely helpful and understanding whenever I contacted her. She would walk me thru the process in order to complete what needed to be done. I greatly appreciate all her help and know that I can contact her at ...any time.

Outstanding Attorney

Gina has been a Godsend to our family. She guided us through some difficult and complicated matters to protect my elderly Mother and provided me with all the information I needed to act effectively as Trustee for our family trust. She is an excellent communicator, responding very quickly to my numero...us emails, and she knows the law inside and out. She is very easy to talk to, warm and caring. Outstanding in every way.

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.
