Gina Maria Costello

I have worked with many other local Spokane family law attorney's and I can tell you Gina and her staff are the BEST of Spokane. I have had too many law offices to name that do not ever return a phone call or email, I would receive lack of communication, but not at Gina's office. If I emailed Gina or... her staff they return that email in a timely manor with answers. I had a child support modification with a tough argument of why my child's father should have to pay something toward her drivers education, WE GOT IT! If you want an attorney that actually cares about your needs and most important your children's needs call Gina, Hire Gina she is worth every dime and more!

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.

My ex decided to serve me with paperwork on a Friday at close of business to go back on a verbal agreement we had over custody of our three children. Me living out of town made it rather interesting and since I only had a couple days to get things together I did some quick research and found Gina Cos...tello and decided to hire her. I'm glad I did because we had to attend an emergency hearing by the following Wednesday and Gina came to the rescue. We have another hearing since that one and it turned out in my favor again. My ex and her lawyer are using every avenue to continue this case and Gina will be representing me yet again in October 2016.

She is a rude and unethical person. She took 3500 dollars and i had her less than a month. She would have her paralegals email me paperwork i had already given them and charge me for it!!! Then when it came to giving my ex a depo she had a date that wasnt even a correct one. She had put a date that w...as a sunday and wrote monday. Then at the last minute she cancelled. Then when i went in to with draw she yelled at me and told me how stupid i was and continued to yell at me til i signed a parenting plan she had drew up. And the parenting plan was completely different than what i had wanted because my ex and i had settled on one and she didnt like it. Then she went on to say that id be lucky if id even see a penny back when she had done absolutely nothing besides draw up paperwork!!! How is that 3500 dollars worth of time in less than a month of having her!!! I would not reccomend this woman. She is aweful!!!
