Reviews for Mandy Gina
Have you consulted or hired this lawyer?
Leave a review about your experience with this lawyer.Mandy is excellent & experienced! I'm very picky -- not the easiest client to work with. She negotiated 2 settlements with my child's school. Each time, I was uncomfortable with a lot of the wording of the school district's proposed agreement. I wanted things added/deleted to my own satisfaction & was able to reason with Mandy to help her see my point of view. She worked within my budget to allow me a settlement I could live with, yet was clearly willing to go to trial. Great communication.
