GINA AND HER STAFF ARE THE BEST!!

1 year ago I had almost given up hope of seeing my two kids more than 1 week a month.My kids were in Spokane and I was fighting my case from Boise Idaho.Every other attorney that I had talked to, had told me that there was no way that I would get them.I was told that the only way I would have a chanc...e of getting them more, is if I moved to Spokane.I contacted Gina and explained to her my situation and asked her for her help.Gina told me that she would take me on and help me get my kids back from my ex wife.12 months later, here I am I have full custody of my kids and still reside in Boise Idaho.After everyone else said it could not be done, she said it could and we WON!!!

Can't ask for more she is the BEST

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!

Committed to what's right.

I am completely satisfied with Gina and her teams help, support and commitment to my son's and my case. We are not done but I see it turning out great with the backing on Gina Costello

Horrible Experiece

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.

You paid me $2,000 after temporary orders where you lost custody of your child to the other side (prior to my involvement). On the day I entered my Notice of Appearance discovery requests made by the other side were already past due. I charged you 2k to review the volumes of court files in your case to get you in compliance with their written demands served on previous counsel and to appear at your procedural check in-s with the court - status conference. All the while I have returned you calls and your e mails including the questions your wife posed. You have often complimented me and thanked me for getting back to you right away. Your account with me has been past due for some months, the experts have now all recently weighed in and without payment I do not understand what you would like me to do. I wish you nothing but the best in your search for just the right attorney to tell you what you want to hear. Clearly, I am not that person never have been never could be. I thought that was why you appreciated me and I am sorry you clearly do not. GMC

Child Custody

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.
