Gisela M. Acevedo

Gisela and her team were fantastic throughout my family law matter. She took the time to explain all of my options clearly and guided me through every step of the process. I always felt supported, informed, and confident that my case was being handled with care and professionalism. I truly appreciate...d her responsiveness, knowledge, and compassionate approach during a very stressful time. Highly recommend.

I retained Gisela Acevedo for a family law/divorce matter after finding her through TikTok. While her videos were engaging, my experience did not match the marketing. She was responsive, but the work product lacked substance. I had to correct multiple mistakes in paperwork and documents, and at ti...mes it appeared she did not have a strong command of the facts of the case. Some of the drafting also felt generic and not carefully tailored. I later noticed her Avvo rating was 6.4, which I wish I had considered more carefully before retaining her. I ultimately chose to move forward with a different attorney. Based on my experience, I would not recommend her and suggest others do their due diligence before hiring.

I had an extremely disappointing experience with Gisela. Throughout my case, I felt that communication was severely lacking—emails and calls often were responsive but lacked substance, leaving me feeling uninformed about the status of my case and I had to ask questions constantly. Also I never receiv...ed all of the communications from the other side as Gisela acted and responded unilaterally at times, which made the case more high conflict than it needed to be. Additionally, the attorney seemed unprepared during court appearances and failed to provide the level of advocacy I expected for such an important matter. I also felt the billing practices were unclear and excessive. I was charged for time spent correcting mistakes the attorney made, which added unnecessary stress to an already difficult process. She works long hours apparently (nights and weekends), but you’ll be charged for every single email no matter how unproductive or inefficient it is.
