About

Since my admission to the Bar in 1986, I have dedicated my practice at the Law Office of Gina-Marie Reitano in Staten Island to protecting individuals, couples, families, seniors, veterans, adult children with elderly parents and parents with disabled children. I am committed to ensuring that when you come to me for help, you are able to choose from all options available to you and get an advocate who will ensure your needs are met. I have chosen not to employ other attorneys in my practice so every case is given one-on-one attention from me. With a background in social work and many years’ experience dealing with people in severely stressful circumstances, I am able to counsel my clients in a way that will allow them to improve their situation and understand the process. You can trust me to be with you every step of the way and involved with every aspect of your case ― from start to finish.I have a steadfast commitment to helping my clients in times when they need protection the most – in estate and guardianship proceedings, elder abuse cases, and the creation of effective estate plans. Helping my clients in and out of court is what has motivated me since I finished law school at age 22, a time when my peers were just finishing college. Let me use my extensive experience and expertise to your benefit.I work hard earning the respect of my clients and my peers, and I never take it for granted. I am a certified fiduciary by the Office of Court Administration and have served as a Court Examiner in Richmond County of New York.

As a Guardian with pending complex litigation ahead of me, I needed someone in my corner with the experience and the compassion to represent me. Gina knew the law well, was very prepared at trial and gave me the assurance that I needed throughout this matter. She is truly a gem and she has the uncanny ability to get to the heart of a problem very quickly. I would not hesitate to recommend her and I often do. It's nice to have someone advocating for you that is more than knowledgable but also kind and ready to go that extra step for a client.

I have worked with Gina for going on three years and there aren't enough ways for me to properly express my gratitude that she has come into my life. Gina is the appointed guardian to a loved one who needs 24 hour supervision, and not only has she facilitated his expert care, but her concern for his health and well being are next to none. Her expertise, caring demeanor and professionalism are exhibited daily, making Gina like family as well.

Gina Reitano has handled the financial and personal affairs of my older sister for many years. At the request of my sister I contacted Gina to see if I could be of some assistance. My sister, to say the least, is a difficult person to deal with. She can be very unreasonable and down right nasty. In my opinion Gina handled my sister as well as anyone could ask for. Gina and I dealt with many problems in my sisters life. She was always patient and cooperative beyond my expectations. It has been a pleasure to know and work with her and I wish her all the success in her life that she deserves.

Our family reached to Gina for help with a complex and difficult elder abuse situation. She responded quickly and was able to obtain a temporary solution while our petition made its way to the court. She is a strong and aggressive advocate. Gina is in command in the courtroom and masterfully presented a clear, compelling case which resulted in a court order that fully met our families expectations. Her deep knowledge of the complexities of the law in this area, combined with a familiarity with the various judges and staff in the NYC area, make her services quite valuable.
