Gina Maria Costello

PLEASE DO YOURSELF A FAVOR DONT HIRE GINA.Tells a good story to get a $5000 retainer.then when you ask or call about your case you are giving nothing but excuses,yelled at,lied to.she not there to help you as she blame you for all of problems.i thought attorneys were to help you.gina it good at one t...hing taking your money.worst attorney in Spokane,I don’t have any more money to retain another attorney,so I am going to lose case as Gina withdrew from my case.because I called and told her it been 4 1/2 months and nothing as been done.she yells and said to bad it your fault.it my fault for trusting Gina Costello she Crook and needs to sued,but attorney won’t sue one another.

A lot of attorneys don’t bother getting to know their client or really try to build a good attorney/client relationship but this is not the case for Gina. She genuinely cares about your story and well being. She will recommend you get into a domestic violence support group and seek therapy to heal fr...om the harrowing experience of an abusive relationship because she has your best interests at heart and wants your emotional health to be a priority. She is blunt and straight forward but that’s a good thing, you don’t want an attorney who just tells you what you want to hear. At my first meeting with Gina, she told me exactly what her plan was and had a draft of the declaration written up by the end already. Her communication is great and she leaves you feeling informed instead of in the dark and unaware of what she plans to do. She understands what abusers do and seems to know how to counter it. So far after hiring Gina I am very happy and confident that she will represent me to the very best of her ability and help keep myself and my child as safe as possible under the circumstances.

Gina worked with me to get as close to my goal as possible in an extended custody dispute. My ex-wife refuses to acknowledge reality, and constantly pushes to take time away from me. Gina helped me to set my expectations at a realistic level, and then made sure we submitted testimony in the proper wa...y to get the job done. She's also not afraid to tell you when you need some help outside court. Had she not advised me to seek help for my own issues, I likely would have lost time with my kids and continued a very dangerous spiral. I have residential custody of my children, and am very confident in that position now, while also moving forward in my life personally and professionally. I would have preferred communication with me from her firm to be a little bit more prompt when in the midst of the case, but I'll take some uncertainty in that moment if it leads to results in the end. She's worth it.

I hired Gina to help with my child custody case. She and her staff have done an amazing job with helping with my case. They are always on top of keeping me updated with what is going on and if I have a question or concern they get back to me fast with an answer. I couldn't have asked for a better law...yer. Gina and her staff truly care about their clients and what they are going through. They try their best to make their clients lives easier and less stressful. I would highly recommend Gina to anyone who is going through any kind of child custody. She will not only care about you but most importantly she will care about your children as she has done for mine.

I hired Gina in January to finish up on a child custody case. 9 months and $5000 later there has been little or no work done on the case. Not a single request sent to the opposing part for any information. One deposition scheduled then cancelled 1/2 an hour before it was supposed to happen, never res...cheduled. Then 60 days before we are supposed to be in trial, she files an notice to withdraw from the case. I found her to be rude and abusive when talking with her, she has cussed out my wife and I over the phone and despite her promises to knowing exactly how to bring this whole thing to a resolution has put us further behind and in a deeper hole than we ever could have imagined. Now even a simple request like did mediation get scheduled and if so when is it scheduled is completely ignored. I finally had to call the attorney I think is being used for mediation and ask their staff if there's an appointment because my attorney can't even respond to that. Hiring Gina was by far the worst mistake we made in this entire process.
