This review is strictly from my own personal experience with this law firm and Gabriella Giovinazzo…read moreas my attorney representing me. I paid this firm in total $8,306 for child support modification and possibly retaining them for an enforcement/modification of my visitation court order pending how the firm does in child support. And it was horrible, if I could give 0 stars I would. If you're the noncustodial father looking for a firm to fight for you this isn't the firm for you. I have a court order regarding my visitation and rights, even though it's clear as day my child's mother was violating the order, Gabriella Giovinazzo stance was because the mother has full custody and all final decision making there was nothing I could do. Firstly I highly recommend going over every invoice they send you. Secondly, they bill you 2.5 hours when there's a court appearance even if it last less than an hour, which I feel is ridiculous given the fact child support is through zoom and never that long, but that was my fault since I forgot it usually never lasted that long and overread that part when reading the agreement paperwork. My zoom conference for child support lasted about 40,50 minutes. They charge you for every email even when it's a simple ask, for example, I emailed my lawyer, Gabriella Giovinazzo, when court was a couple days away just to ask if there was anything I needed since I haven't heard from her and got charged for that. Before going into the zoom conference Gabriella Giovinazzo called stating they would like to settle and not go to trial. She said this would be better and easier since my child support would go up and I won't be paying her more, not remembering that I'm already paying her up to 2.5 hours when we go into court even if we settle. I asked some questions and finally agreed to settling. During the zoom conference to finalize the settlement, I found out Gabriella Giovinazzo didn't submit evidence regarding a letter from my employment about my healthcare being secondary and not blocking the other parents medical coverage but because of that my secondary coverage dropped. I asked to speak to my attorney since we came to an agreement before we went on zoom but something came up where I had questions but my attorney just stood on zoom looking at the camera and didn't call me, so basically I was asking and representing myself to the magistrate who was answering all my questions as my attorney just stood looking on and not saying anything or defending my stance. After the zoom conference I didn't get a call to follow up or if I had any questions or concerns or if I was satisfied about the outcome but I sure did get another bill. I paid and lost $8,306 to a firm to basically look pretty on a zoom call conference where I could have represented myself and gotten the same outcome. I paid more in emails in concerns for my child's mother breaking the court order on my visitation weekends which didn't even matter. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND ANY FATHERS TRYING TO FIGHT THE SYSTEM, ESPECIALLY WHEN THERE'S A COURT ORDER AND OTHER PARENT IS VIOLATING IT AND DO RIGHT BY THEIR CHILD(REN) GO TO ANOTHER LAW FIRM.

I've hired this firm recently, and my attorney was Gabriella Giovinazzo, in principle supervised by…read moreErin Colgan. It's a revision of child custody case. Six months after taking my $5,000 retainer and filing a petition in court, which I honestly still don't know if it was a good idea, I still haven't gotten from her a clear advice on what the best course of action is and why. First, she told me that there were reasons for concern, then, a few months later, without further justification, she told me to settle. Second, she negotiated the summer vacations with the attorney of the other party. Naively, I had believed that, knowing what I wanted, she would use this opportunity to set a precedent in the future negotiations with the other party. No, after exchanging several emails with me, each of which at the price of $100, she just gave them everything they wanted. Detail: when she concluded the negotiation, she forgot to tell me, so I had to send her another email, which I suspect she charged $100 to reply to. She charged me for every single piece of communication with me, even those indirectly complaining about what she was doing and, yet, my feeling that I was not being well informed by her. Honestly, I had the impression that my attorney was not paying attention. I suppose this firm has too many cases. The firm doesn't relate to the pain that clients must be going through when they choose to put a substantial amount of time and money to hire an attorney. An attorney who doesn't understand the social role they play, of informing and promoting social peace, and instead choose to just do the robotic easy thing to make money, is not a good attorney.

Yes even charged for the consult. My ex and I had used a mediator, so we had no disputes, everything was agreeable, which annoyed Ms Aplin, meaning her billable hours would be limited. Well somehow she was able to "create" enough billable hours that she charged me over $7,000 for the most simple divorce. I should have hired an attorney to investigate her billing pratice, because I know for a fact there was no way she put in XXXX hours to finalize my documents and divorce. If that was not enough, She was a 1 woman show. you couldn't get her on the phone even you tried. her receptionist was too busy (changing her baby diapers in the office) to be helpful, and even when the divorce was final, I called needing a copy of the divorce decree, they told me to go to City Hall to get it, that they don't send copies! This was the most rude "team" 2 woman show I ever met in my life.. STAY AWAY!
