Poor performance

Gina was not knowledgeable in the area of law that I hired her for (family law). she may be somewhat better now as this was some years ago. she was always late to hearing so not a minutes to talk beforehand. and, she was ineffective in court and did not speak up at times when she could have made ...a difference. she just sat thru the whole process.

Thank you for your comment. I would appreciate your calling my office to identify yourself and speak to me personally about any bad experiences that you may have encountered with me or my office. Since I dedicate 110% to each and every client, I am sure that I will remember the details of your case and can clarify any misunderstandings or misperceptions that you may have. I can accept specific complaints but not a blanket complaint that I was "always" late - because that is not true - and that I "sat through the whole process" which I also have difficulty believing because I am known or being an extremely zealous advocate and almost always outspoken. I also do not know why someone would write a review from "some years ago." Please call me at 510-523-4310. Thank you.

Caring reliable attorney

I hired Gina for a seemingly fast visitation case. The case has dragged on but not due to Gina, due to the courts and the other party. Gina has been very caring and knowledgeable since day one. She has returned every call and email in a timely manner and answered every single question Ive had. She is... friendly yet can be tough when needed which is good when dealing with other lawyers. Although my case is still ongoing, even if it turns out not in my favor I would still highly recommend. She had done nothing but help me and my family through all of this and always calmed me down when I got confused and scared. Respectable, knowledgable, firm but friendly lawyer. Highly highly recommend!

Unreliable

I trusted Gina initially, but when it came time to file a fee arbitration, she totally abandoned me. I called and emailed her repeatedly, and received nothing but excuses from her paralegal. I have since hired a new attorney to represent me for the arbitration.

I am sorry but my area of practice does not include representing clients in fee arbitration hearings. I am glad you found an attorney to help you.

Gina Mariani is awesome!

Gina has been an awesome attorney throughout my child custody case. She has been there for us since summer of 2007 and has made sure that my children's voices have been heard in court. She tells you straight and she knows her stuff.

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.
