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.

Gina and her staff are amazing

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.

Excellent results

My son, wife, and I were clients of Gina's involved in a child custody case for my grandson and granddaughter. At the start Gina told us we would need to trust her and follow her legal advice in order to have the best results and outcome. My son, being younger and having little understanding of the l...egal system as well as being very worried for the welfare of his 2 children, was sometimes oppositional towards that advice. But Gina was able to get him, with our input as well, to stay the course and ultimately we prevailed and won the case. Had we veered from our attorney's advice and plan I believe we would have lost the case. We can never thank Gina and her team enough for the excellent outcome. We won full custody of both children and this exceeded our expectations. Thanks again Gina.

Excellant Legal Representation

I left an abusive marriage about five years ago. My ex-husband was able to get a restraining order against me and take our four children by claiming I was homeless and on drugs. A friend suggested that I contact Gina Costello. After consulting with Gina I hired her. She and her staff were a godsend. ...I was in such a vulnerable state. Gina not only represented me exceptionally well in court but also gave me invaluable advice to keep me safe, help my children to heal and protected me emotionally in court. If I had paid double her fees, it would have been worth every penny and then some. Another thing that I really respect about Gina is the way she brings her values into her business and into the courtroom. Gina is fighting the good fight. I can't say enough good things. I am just so grateful that I found Gina Costello.

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.
