Great Experience with Gina!

Gina has been my lawyer for the past couple of years and has represented me in quite a few instances involving my ex-wife and our child. She has helped in mediation, parenting plan revision, child support modification, contempt charges, relocation issues, etc. My situation has not been a walk in the ...park. There have been several times throughout the last couple of years where I will admit that I questioned the direction that Gina wanted to take things, but each time I trusted her and I am so glad I did. When I first came to Gina I only had my daughter every other weekend and alternating holidays. With Gina's guidance, I eventually gained 50% custody of my daughter and I am now the custodial parent, having my daughter the majority of the time. Obviously the actions of my ex played into how everything worked out but Gina was spot on each and every time that she gave me advice. It is intimidating trying to find a good lawyer but Gina and her team have worked exceptionally hard for me and things would not be where they are today without their efforts. I cannot say thank you enough! I would definitely recommend Gina to anyone who is in need of a good Family Law Lawyer.

Amazing advocate

Gina is a wonderful attorney. She was my advocate through an incredibly difficult and ongoing child custody case. Gina fought for me, she has helped keep my child safe and made the process much less difficult than anyone else could have. She listened to me, and I felt like I was a valued client at al...l times. I am so glad that Gina has been my counsel throughout this process, and recommend her to anyone that is in need of an attorney that has your family's best interests at heart. She is amazing, and I'm incredibly grateful of her skill and knowledge.

Amazing woman

Gina has drawn me to her since the day I saw her in the court room working on other cases not mine. At that time I wanted to talk to her about my situation but didn't because IBM super shy person. The day I figured out I needed a lawyer Gina was my first call. Walking into her office I was so surpri...se to see her as this was truly meant to be myb lawyer. Since that day Gina as offered on so much guidance on how to finally finish this awful parenting plan and also help win full custody of my kids as this is a very hurtful case being my ex is a substance abuser. She has helped guided me and protect my kids. Thank you Gina for always being by my side your the best.

GINA AND HER STAFF ARE THE BEST!!

1 year ago I had almost given up hope of seeing my two kids more than 1 week a month.My kids were in Spokane and I was fighting my case from Boise Idaho.Every other attorney that I had talked to, had told me that there was no way that I would get them.I was told that the only way I would have a chanc...e of getting them more, is if I moved to Spokane.I contacted Gina and explained to her my situation and asked her for her help.Gina told me that she would take me on and help me get my kids back from my ex wife.12 months later, here I am I have full custody of my kids and still reside in Boise Idaho.After everyone else said it could not be done, she said it could and we WON!!!
