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!

My Hero!

Gina was my attorney for my dissolution and assisted in a child custody matter that happened later. She was amazing throughout the entire process. She was quick to respond, clear in her instructions to me and she even offered a shoulder to cry on when everything we were hoping for happened and I wa...s finally able to let go of all of the stress! She's the exact right mix of aggressive and compassionate. She looks out for her clients and the families as a whole. She's my hero!

If you want great advice go to Gina Bissell

I used Gina as my attorney. I went to her because I heard that she stands up for her clients and what they want. My ex was making several over the top allegations regarding inappropriate touching of our children and domestic violence. My children were taken from me, until I hired Gina. Gina was a...ble to figure out what kind of tests I needed to take to clear my name and get my time back with my children. She was also able to get this testing done quickly because of the several professional contacts she has in the community. Because of Gina, I was able to get divorced and keep the stress of the divorce down so that my children were not affected too much. I as a father, have 1/2 time with my children and I have been able to move on with little complication. The other thing is that after talking to several friends, I am finding out that Gina's attorney fees were substantially lower than the attorneys they hired and she got me more time with my children. I appreciate everything that Gina and her assistant did for me.

"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."
