Gina Maria Costello

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 had to hire an attorney in WA when I was residing in California. Gina was quick in responding to my initial inquiry and the case ran as smooth as possible considering I was in CA, my ex in Italy & our attorneys in WA. Gina and her staff were so helpful and honest about what I was and was not enti...tled to. I was happy to have Gina Costello as my attorney.

I was looking for a feisty lawyer to represent me in a divorce settlement modification. I had interviewed several other lawyers who basically said "suck it up and pay the original alimony" or "in Washington you are rolling the dice on how the judge will interpret the law". Gina listened to my story,... asked relevant questions and finally said "I'll take your case". It wasn't easy, but Gina found a mediator who helped us reach a new settlement that neither side liked -- in other words, a fair settlement. As with any lawyer money was a concern, but dealing with the case came first and money second.
