Professional

Gina is efficient and professional. She always explained the options so me so that I could make an informed decision. I have extreme confidence in her and her work. She is a trusted resource that I would highly recommend.

Posted by John C | November 30, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Child Support

The ONE you have been looking for

This attorney is very sharp, informed, and prompt on replying via email or phone. I hired Gina for issues regarding child support and custody issues as well as defending against false allegations against me. I am a firm believer that the truth always comes out in the end and Gina does nothing to stan...d in the way. She will fight for your rights and what is JUST not only for you but for your child as well. Provide her the best info and she will go to work for you. I highly recommend her if you are seeking a very professional attorney.

Highly Recommended

I hired Gina to help me through and amicable divorce. She was able to quickly and cost effectively guide us through the process. Gina represented me. My ex-husband felt comfortable enough with Gina's communication style and approach that he didn't hire his own attorney in order for us to save on leg...al fees and to expedite the process. I would highly recommend Gina to anyone in a similar situation.

Awesome Lawyer

Gina helped me to get through a difficult divorce. She is extremely knowledgeable about the laws and statutes which helped ease my fears as we went through this process. She kept in touch with me, always keeping me abreast of the latest status of my case. She was readily available, always returnin...g phone calls and emails promptly. Going through divorce is a very stressful and emotional process, but Gina helped ease the stress and calm my nerves. I really appreciated all that she did for me, and would highly recommend her to others.

Posted by OSCAR | July 03, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Child Custody

A lawyer with a heart

After having hired a previous lawyer to handle my case regarding parenting time and a dispute with child support, having felt taken advantage of by said lawyer, I desperately was in need of a honest and competent lawyer to finalize this ordeal. I was lucky to find Attorney Gina Colaluca who was able ...to help me in a time of actual despair, very efficiently, much more reasonable in the way she was charging me and very importantly with the human touch, she actually called me a few times to ask about my well being concerning the situation in the court battle, with the ending results I'm happy to say I finally got joint custody for my child. Thank you Gina for your hard work, I'm very grateful for your service.
