Gloria J Trainor

Gloria and her paralegal, Eva, helped my family through a terribly painful divorce and change in custody. Everything was communicated clearly and quickly, at every step of the way. I appreciated how they each communicated with the partner I was divorcing, as well — always extremely professional and t...o the point. The last thing I wanted was to hire a lawyer, but I can’t express how grateful I am to have found Gloria. I would recommend Trainor Law to anyone, especially queer families.

Gloria is an incredibly competent and caring attorney. I had a very challenging custody case that was sure to be an uphill battle. The other party, and their attorney, were uncooperative and used tactics that distracted myself, the custody evaluator, and the court from the matter at hand. In spite of... this, Gloria was always level-headed and well prepared. She presented my case to the court by carefully addressing the issues that the court was interested to hear for making their evaluation. Gloria explained the challenges and potential risks every step of the way. She was also cognizant of my pocketbook and informed me of what the potential costs that were associated with each decision. I would absoloutly recommend Gloria to anyone who is looking for an effective and compassionate legal representative.

I could not have found a better attorney than Gloria. We faced a well-funded and aggressive petitioner demanding sole legal custody, increased parenting time, and child support. And, petitioner was supported by the findings of an indifferent custody evaluator. After a grueling and emotionally drai...ning multi-day trial, the evaluator’s findings were overturned, I was awarded sole legal custody, increased parenting time and child support, and petitioner had to pay a significant fraction of my attorney fees. These results were not fated. It was through Gloria’s leadership, dedication, and legal acumen that were we able to prevail. Gloria built a theme for our case based on a thorough understanding of my relationship with my children and the imperative to provide them with a stable, socially-rich childhood. Doing so allowed us to focus on the important matters of the case, thereby avoid being swept up in irrelevant details and opposing council’s divisive antics. Our judge noted this theme in her closing remarks, recognizing we had demonstrated my ability to serve as the sole legal custodian for my daughters. Gloria has an exceptional attention for detail while also exhibiting high levels of executive and emotional intelligence. She can construct and execute a long-term strategy based on myriad aspects of a complex case that accounts for the intricate emotive context of divorce. And, she has a quick wit, which was a pleasure to witness in court on numerous occasions. Gloria is professional, levelheaded and ethical. She never made promises about outcomes, but rather maintained a rational approach based on facts and experience. She then built a case that gave us the best opportunity to achieve my objectives. She was always honest and grounded during our conversations, giving me the assurance I needed to place my faith in her abilities. Gloria is supported by an excellent paralegal, Evan, who was a pleasure to work with. Both he and Gloria are very responsive and respectful. They put their clients first and make every effort to smooth a very rough path. Gloria and Evan have my full recommendation. They have made a huge impact on my life and my relationships with my daughters.

Gloria was instrumental in successfully guiding me through a tough divorce. She worked with me to make sure my parental and property rights were secured and protected. Her court room demeanor and preparedness were well above expectation. I owe the positive outcome of my divorce to her and her abili...ties of negotiation and persuasion. I would dread facing her as an opposing attorney in court. Please don't hesitate to speak with her on any family law matter: her experience and expertise will no doubt help you in your case no matter how difficult.
