Excellence!

I am so grateful to have had Gloria as my attorney. I walked into her office worried & baffled and walked out of her office confident & completely satisfied. She and her assistant were always knowledgable, polite and professional. I couldn't have asked for better. I highly recommend Gloria to anyone ...who has a family law case ahead of them.

Detailed, Compassionate, and Brilliant!

I could never thank Gloria enough for her help in my case! I called her after a discrimination issue, and I can honestly say that I wouldn't be back to being myself if it hadn't been for Gloria. She did extensive research on cases similar to my own, stood by me in meetings with community groups, comm...unicated with me consistently, and became my biggest supporter and even life coach as I developed depression within the long, difficult months. I was always impressed with her ability to be strong and steadfast when the topic became stressful for me, and I was amazed at her ability to see the case from ALL points of view. Her communication is exquisite with all parties involved. My case also included quite a bit of connection with the media, and Gloria made sure I was supported throughout the frenzy. She was ALWAYS there for me. She acted immediately when I needed something right away, and her work was always thoughtful and based on impeccable research. I've told everyone that Gloria is the smartest person I've ever met. Whenever I didn't have the words, she was able to communicate exactly what I wanted to say in an eloquent and direct fashion. She is brilliant. I'm fortunate to be able to say that I admire my lawyer as a professional AND as a person. She truly had my best interests at heart, and I trust her with my life. My case ended in a long, exhausting settlement- a day that Gloria had successfully prepared me for, thanks to her forward-thinking abilities. It was grueling, but she was alert and prepared at every moment. I felt supported every step of the way. I would recommend Gloria to every person who is in need of a lawyer. She is detailed and compassionate, and she truly thinks of everything. "Outside of the box" doesn't even come close to explaining how many avenues she explored and how much research she did for me over the course of my case. You are in the best hands when you hire Gloria! I am so grateful to have worked with her.

Solid, professional, got it done, quick and below the cost estimate

A solid, smart, professional lawyer whom I would visit again. My legal situation was simple (a no-contest divorce), but my professional situation was difficult, and she learned what needed to be done to accommodate my circumstances and met my requirements (moving out of state in two weeks!) Just rec...eived refund as cost was well below the reasonable estimate. There was one typo on one page of the legal documents, but I am sure the clerk can be smacked with a wooden spoon so it never happens again! :-)

Effecient - Personable - Professional

Gloria Trainor handled my divorce. She was not only extremely professional and knowledgeable about the entire matter but had the demeanor to make this difficult process as comfortable for me as possible. I truly appreciated her understanding of the emotional aspects. Everything, from the discovery me...eting through signing of the petition, was dealt with kindness and at the same time very efficiently. And her staff offered the same, consistently. There were no additional meetings or communications than were absolutely necessary and I always felt she had my best interests, and my wallet, in mind through the process. I will continue to use Gloria for other legal matters going forward as a result.

Top Notch Family Law Representation

Gloria helped me navigate through family law for my first time with counsel. She is genuine in her opinions and always kept my family's best interests at heart. She listened to me and shared her professional experience, but also laid out my options- so that I felt I could make the best decisions in ...our matter. She is very witty with a good sense of humor too. I would highly recommend her to anyone needing competent, compassionate and efficient legal representation.
