Attorney Gina is the best!

Gina is an exceptionally skilled and highly experienced attorney. A graduate of Gonzaga University School of Law with 33 years of practice, she has an in-depth understanding of the legal system and court procedures. Her expertise is truly outstanding,she has impeccable logic, sharp judgment, and a...n incredible memory for case details. Every time I asked her a question, she answered instantly and accurately, without even needing to check any documents. She handled my case with the highest level of professionalism, ensuring the best outcome for me and my child. She is honest, reliable, and absolutely trustworthy. Her fees are transparent and reasonable, with no hidden costs. She and her assistant stood by me through my most difficult times, providing unwavering support and reassurance. If you need a truly professional, strong, and dependable attorney, Gina is the best choice. I highly recommend her!

I Highly recommend Gina

Gina was always on top of what was going on with my divorce. I was in a very bad place when I met her and she was able to guide me through while protecting me from being railroaded by my ex. She is professional through and through and does not stoop to low blows as my ex's attorney did. Nothing mad...e her loose her barring and kept me from loosing mine. She is worth every cent!

Excellent Attorney

Gina helped me to establish a parenting plan when the other parent wouldn't co-operative. She is effective, thorough, and professional in all aspects, and most importantly produces results. I would highly recommend her as an attorney for all family law related cases.

Thorough, expedient, knowlegable, fair

I worked with Gina on my dissolution, including a parenting plan. She was always quick to respond to my emails and thorough in her explanations. She set realistic expectations for timelines and outcomes. She is an experienced professional, and it shows.

"Gina and I have been co-workers for the last year or so, but prior to that, I had the pleasure of handling numerous family law cases with her over the years, and I always found her to be reasonable, straightforward, and easy to work with - though at the same time always a strong advocate for her clients. I had the opportunity to observe her preparing for a tough dissolution trial recently, and I was impressed by her hard work and commitment to the client."
