Gina Maria Costello

Thank you for giving me the best possible care as a lawyer you could. I appreciate your expert advice. I wanted the impossible done at times and you graciously knew how to handle me. I am sorry that I upset you at times. I don't know the law as well as you and like I said wanted the impossible done a...t times. I highly, highly recommend you. Thank you for helping me get through treatment at Adept Intensive Outpatient. I graduated April 6, 2015 from treatment and am now going to Frontier Behavioral Health. I used to think I was too good for all the help. Now I wish I would have done it sooner. Spokane needs your experience and expertise. Thank you for representing the law so well. There are certain things I will NEVER look back on, or do. I learned lots of valuable lessons. Thank you for being gracious.

Awful experience with These people. At the beginning they said one thing and the next thing I know my retainer was gone on research about how to get my parenting plan switch to Washington. Something they said they could do quickly and inexpensively. They would not have timely responses. I would have... to leave message after message and email before eventually I would hear something. This turned out to be almost a year long process!!! They even sent me other peoples paperwork twice.!! To which they called right back and ask me to shred it!

I had two cases at the same time. One divorce and one criminal case. I was married to a difficult man at whose hands I suffered emotional and physical abuse for years. My husband had an affair with my (ex) best criend and had me arrested claiming assault and was intent on the worst punishment I could... get. Gina took both of my cases and worked on them in unison for until the final resolution. At a dark period in my life, she encouraged me and talked me "off the ledge" many times. She encouraged me to get domestic violence counseling and truly cared about my emotional well-being. It saved my life. When I went to court on the criminal charge, both the prosecutor and the judge told me what an awesome job my attorney did for me. It was a better outcome than I could have imagined. I signed my divorce papers today and again, the outcome was in my favor and nothing short of a miracle. I will always consider Gina my angel. Its a rare find in the legal business. Thank you, Gina, for working tirelessly on my behalf. You truly saved my life and I will be forever grateful.

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!!!!!!!

My experience with Ms. Costello was lukewarm, at best. She was very difficult to get on the telephone, and seldom would return your calls. She treated us very poorly at first, and even dropped our case. The day she let us know she was dropping us, was 2 weeks before a court hearing. Ms. Costello was ...abrasive, and difficult over the phone, yelling unsubstantiated reasons for dropping our case. She refused to listen to what I had to say, stating she was uncomfortable talking to me any longer. The whole experience was awful! She later (several days) rang me up, and after a very intense conversation (I was very upset), gave a lacking apology for poor communication, and not fully understanding what was going on. At that time she asked us to reconsider her quitting, and put her back on the case. We reluctantly did, mostly due to financial reasons. I never really trusted Ms. Costello after that. She did improve on communication, and she did see the case through. The emotional and financial cost was weighty. It was a TERRIBLE experience, and I'm certainly glad that I no longer have a need for Ms. Costello's services. My opinion is, look elsewhere.
