Gina Maria Costello

I hired Gina to redo a parenting plan. She told me should could get it done quick and it turned into several months. The service was poor and her employees called back after weeks of emails and left voicemails. They were not professional, talking to me about their other clients after they left the of...fice. When it was time to sign the final documents, I made corrections to it 4 times before the mistakes were corrected, they couldn't seem to spell my kids names right. And I was charged the entire time she made corrections to the document. The final bill included several charges that were not accurate. I highly suggest that you take your money elsewhere. I wish I had.

By far the worst customer service experience from Gina and her employees. I interviewed Gina to be my divorce lawyer and hired her. Why? Because both her and her Web site gave me the false indication that she was compassionate and on my side. Saying I could call anytime. Well everytime I called it... was handed to the paralegal who wasn't real friendly. Swearing on the phone, being extremely rude. I had to rewrite my parenting plan numerous times after I had already done it. Why? I have no clue. And why I was charged for their mistakes? No clue. I started calling after a few months asking for a statement because I had given her 3000$. I ended up getting my first month statement, they never mailed or provided me with anything else. I had numerous rude phone calls from Gina. I walked in with a friend to fire Gina and she begged me back. BIG MISTAKE! mediation comes and I bring my dad. Gina was not prepared for mediation. Every part of mediation was a ridiculous waste of time. She had offers she never showed me. Why? I have no clue but my guess is the longer the divorce the more money for her. I was in tears for weeks because she told me lies. I was told my child support for 2 kids wd be less the 300 a month. When I went to talk with my ex I was told that was a lie he offered 1300. That's a 1000$ difference. It makes me sick that she wd pull that on a single mother. I called her out on it and she had no excuse. She ended up quitting on me after doing nothing for my case and now I owe her an extra 1500 on top of the 3000 I paid and I now have to represent myself because she failed. She swore at me and said harsh mean things. When I went to pick up my files I stood there for 20 minutes listening to them swear and talk crap about people in the back room. I'm disgusted by how she and her staff do business. They made an easy divorce a living hell. Her excuse was always a bigger case. How am I less important then the rest of your customers. . My only guess is she only cares about the cases that r making her big bucks, easy cases like mine who cares right? Wrong! She's awful horrible attitude, horrible person, horrible values, horrible ethics. A waste of money and time. Go somewhere else. A place that maybe won't charge for initial consult. I'm not paying someone that I'm interviewing!!! No one should have to deal with her crazy drama during a rough time in their life. A lawyer should have stability and she's just straight up Crazy!!!

This is by far the worst experience I have had in dealing with a lawyer, someone with whom I have paid to work for me!! She is the worst person with communicating along with many other things. There were times when the opposing party knew about papers that I supposedly submitted before I even did. He...r paralegal even told me that they can sign per my behalf even when I don't agree with what they had written up. Multiple times I was given misinformation. I would have been much better off representing myself. I have paid/owe this woman close to $6000 for filing paperwork. The worst decision of my life!!!!!!!

Gina was an amazing person to work with. When you are going through a difficult time, she not only hears you out and gets you what you want but is very compassionate as well. She will fight for you every step of the way and not stop until you are satisfied with the results. Gina is very organized and... knows her stuff. She also has an amazing staff that will help in any way they can. I would recommend Gina for any of your family law needs. She helped me in every detail and I got what I wanted, I know she will do the same for you!

The best way I can describe her is being a b!tch on a power trip. She does NOT care about your case, you are just a paycheck to her. Neither her nor her staff return emails, phone calls or any other attempt at contact. She does not keep you up to date on your case, at all. The only way I EVER knew w...hat was happening in my case was searching the Spokane Country Court website and finding out what had been filed and when. During my first custody hearing she called my ex by MY last name instead of by theirs, and could not remember my child's name throughout the entire divorce. She showed up almost two hours late to my mediation but still charged me for the time, even though she wasn't there. She also tolld me that if I didn’t give her a ridiculous amount of money that she would not take my case to trial. She made it clear that she just wanted money. I received bills for every email that she read and DIDNT reply to. When I finally got frustrated at her lack of response I said something about it and she yelled at me and threatened to drop me as a client. I'm sorry but I thought your job as an attorney is to represent the person paying you?!?! Not get mad when they call you out on your BS. I spent thousands of dollars on her and have nothing to show for it. I got the same outcome I could have if I had just represented myself. I did not get any justice in my divorce, in fact she didn't even manage to get my back MY OWN belongings that I had proof I paid for. She somehow let it "slip through the cracks" She is so bad, that when a friend of mine went through a divorce and asked who my attorney was I recommended the attorney that MY EX USED instead of her! Thats how awful she is. Any positive feedback on here was 99.9% written by herself or her staff because it is an absolute joke for people to say that she is caring, and excellent with communication. She is not. She is a joke and shouldn't be an attorney. Don't waste your money. Find someone who is gonna care about you and your case and not just how much money you can give to them in the end.
