Gino did an incredible thorough job of looking into my case and tackled it swiftly, obtaining an acquittal for me in less than four months. He was empathetic and gave me hope in what was one of the darkest periods of my life. I couldn’t be more thankful.
Mr Gino looked into every minute details of the case and gave me his honest opinions and eventual scenarios that could happen. He was confident throughout the representation and constantly comforting me down. He was straight forward and upfront with his vast experience. A very genuine individual and is very quick with his actions.
Thank you Mr Gino.
I was being investigated by police for causing voluntary hurt and possession of offensive weapon. Depressed and at a lost about what to do, I contacted Gino. He wasted no time to call me and fix an appointment. He laid out clearly the situation I am in, what I can do at the point and his fees. I followed his directions and he helped sent a representation to the AGC. Within 2 months I received a reply that they will issue a stern warning instead of pressing charges. I would like to thank Mr Gino for his professional legal help. I am happy with the outcome and I can finally move on with my life after this horrific ordeal.
