You’ve seen the tactics. So have we.

• All the money you had access to suddenly, deliberately gets moved to accounts you can’t see.
• They tell you that if you leave, you will lose the kids, the money and the support of your family and friends.
• They charm the audience but criticize everything you do, especially when it comes to your parenting abilities.
• They claim they are the victim but everything they accuse you of is just a projection of their own behavior.
• Endless Court appearances haven’t resolved any of your actual issues.
• Ready to leave? Suddenly they want to “work things out” on their terms, on their timeline, with none of the accountability.

  I had a wonderful experience working with Jackie and the entire team. Navigating a legal matter can be overwhelming, but Jackie made the process so much easier with her professionalism, compassion, and responsiveness. She was always available to answer my questions, explain things clearly, and provide reassurance when I needed it most. I truly felt supported and cared for every step of the way. I am incredibly grateful for her guidance and dedication, and I highly recommend Jackie and the team at Hart Ginney to anyone seeking knowledgeable, compassionate, and trustworthy legal representation.

  What can be said about a law firm, led by an incredible attorney, that saved my grandchildren?  Without the legal expertise of Robyn Ginney and her team, I shudder to think about where my grandchildren would be.  Robyn was not my son's first attorney.  My son was fighting a malevolent  narcissist-in layman's terms-a self centered bully.  The first attorney advised showing "good faith" by giving in to all demands-nope, you do not give in to bullies.  Changing law firms was the smartest thing my son did.  Robyn immediately recognized the issues involved and the nature of my son's spouse.  Robyn Ginney pursued an aggressive and successful strategy that changed the  game, placing the ex on the defense. Robyn and her team dug deep, uncovering plenty. Robyn and her team are responsive, methodical, detail oriented, and organized.  This was a complicated divorce and custody case, involving two small children, real estate and in the midst of it all- a job transfer out of state albeit with the same organization. In the courtroom, Robyn is a genius, carefully evaluating every nuance of the ever changing situation. Michael Connelly wrote "The Lincoln Lawyer;" I think he should observe Robyn and her team in action.  There definitely is a best seller and a top TV series there-drama, heart and professionalism. Thank you Robyn, and thank you to your marvelous team.

  I had a very positive experience working with this family law firm. I worked specifically with Jackie and AJ, and both were excellent at what they do. They each brought different strengths to the table and worked closely together on my case. What I appreciated most was their collaborative approach — they genuinely listened to my feedback, worked with me as a client, and then provided clear, thoughtful professional guidance in a mediation-focused way. Their teamwork, professionalism, and communication made a difficult process much easier to navigate. Even when I had last-minute questions or needed urgent representation or consultation, they always made time for me and squeezed me in when needed. I felt supported and well-represented throughout and would highly recommend them

  Jackie was very helpful and responsive to me in my custody case. The things that really helped me the most was the fact that I could always get ahold of her during times of uncertainty, and she would go out of her way to check in with me to make sure that things were going alright. I believe that she genuinely cares. Thank you Jackie.

  I enjoyed working with Robyn and her team.  They are very thorough and keep you updated with how your case is progressing.  Robyn was referred to me as I needed a change of attorney. She was more than I could ask for.  I never felt like I had to track them down to inquire about things, as I had to do with the replaced attorney.   I highly recommend Hart Ginney LLP; you won't be disappointed.

  I really can't recommend Jackie enough for helping me get through my challenging divorce process. From the very first meeting I had with her, she was honest, and delivered information even the hard information in a kind and constructive manner. She was always looking out for my best interests, available when I needed her, and provided outstanding legal support. Having her in my court while I navigated all the logistics and emotional pain, was truly a life-safer and I will forever be grateful for her guidance.
