Gina Costello saved my life.

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.

My opinion and experience

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.

I Found a Great Attorney - Gina M. Costello

I hired Gina Costello to handle my extremely complicated family law case. From the very beginning of our interactions concerning this case, she was professional, had a very high degree of legal knowledge, and was also very compassionate. When my case went to hearing in front of the Judge, Gina Cost...ello was prepared and ready to respond to any of the issues which were being stated by the other side. She handled my complicated case professionally and with ease. When the hearing was over, I could not have been more satisfied/impressed with her knowledge and conduct in the courtroom. I would recommend Gina Costello to anyone who wants an extremely competent attorney to represent them in a Family Court Hearing. She will be my attorney for as long as I need one and she can represent me.

Great, trustworthy, dedicated lawyer who fights for you!

Gina was an amazing person to work with. When you are going through a difficult time, she not only hears you out and gets you what you want but is very compassionate as well. She will fight for you every step of the way and not stop until you are satisfied with the results. Gina is very organized and... knows her stuff. She also has an amazing staff that will help in any way they can. I would recommend Gina for any of your family law needs. She helped me in every detail and I got what I wanted, I know she will do the same for you!

One woman's battle..

To those of you who complained about Gina Costello. You made the choice to hire Gina! Do your homework! Stay in contact with her paralegals! They are awesome! Tell the truth! Always! They have been through what you currently are going through! Gina went to bat for me and my daughter. Gina has passio...n for what she believes in. She stands in the gap for woman dealing with Domestic Abuse! Don't judge! Have some compassion for her! All of us make mistakes on our own journey in this messed up world! I have respect for a woman who stands up for the legal rights of a woman.. especially protecting the emotional harm of a child who is caught in the middle of Divorce. Go Gina! Thank you!
