Excellent- Highly Recommend

Gian is very sharp and professional. She explained things clearly and patiently, and advocated my case very strongly. If you need someone who can get things done where others struggle, then Gian is who you need on your side!

The shark

Before I met Gian I had been struggling to get my grandpa’s estate done for over a year the way he wanted it. It’s a super long story that I can’t say hear. But when I met Gian and told her my story she immediately felt for me and my family. For over a year I had been fighting for what was right and ...nothing happened. She was the shining star I needed and also that strong shark on my side. The minute she started to to help me through this everything changed for the better. I wasn’t loosing sleep anymore etc. she fought inside court and outside for me and my late gpa. I spoke the truth she saw it and fought so hard for me. At the end we won due to her not giving up and fought/ argued the truth till it was seen. I will forever be grateful for her. Til this day I am so grateful for her. If you need a shark as I called her. She is the GREAT WHITE. Pick her and you’ll rest easy at night

Intelligent, creative, tenacious, detailed, and listens… You don’t need anyone else.

I hired Gian through Chokkar Law Group to take over a case that had been lingering for 2-3 years. It was an extremely difficult situation emotionally, financially, and physically for me. I had already been through a few other lawyers prior to Gian who had gotten me nowhere on our case. I can’t tell y...ou how relieved I was to find a person who not only had a clear plan of action, but also listened and empathized with my plight. I felt like, for the first time, I had an attorney that was actually fighting FOR me. Legal stuff is expensive, but you also get what you pay for… don’t waste your time and money on anyone else. And don’t get me started on her litigative performance! Holy cow… she blew everyone else I saw out of the water! I’d hate to be on the other side of it!

The best Trust Attorney in the Country

I hired Gian four years ago, in July 2020. She saved my home, which was left to me in my family's Trust, but a family member was trying to sell it out from under me. She fought like a lion, and won the case for us. She was always available; while kind and thoughtful, elegant and so well educated and ...amazingly brilliant, she could fight like a warrior for us, and did. Our judge in the last part of the case, told me, "You have an amazing lawyer here". We can never thank her enough.

Quiet title / ownership dispute

I can’t say enough good things about Gian. She was very professional , aggressive when needed and very diligently looked out for my interests. Our case was resolved through mitigation and Gian was a staunch advocate on my behalf. Gian’s patience , knowledge and humor got me through a very emotiona...l case .There were many times I wanted to throw in the towel but she kept me on task and moving forward. Gians response time for my needs and questions was very prompt.Weekends, after hours etc. I am very pleased with Gian’s results on my behalf. I would hire Gian again in a heartbeat and I would recommend Gian to anyone I know. Sincerely, Julia Wiggins/Ensminger
