Acevedo Family Law

This is long overdue, I want to thank Gisela for her hard work, dedication and guidance during a very difficult time in my life. Her expertise and attention to detail were evident in assisting me in my case. Gisela was always available to answer my questions and responded promptly. My son and I are both thankful for your professional and knowledge.

It’s not often that someone’s kindness, knowledge, and support leave a lasting impact, but Ms. Acevedo truly did. Navigating legal challenges can be overwhelming, and her calm demeanor, willingness to work with me financially, and genuine care made all the difference. I am deeply grateful for her guidance and compassion—qualities that aren’t always easy to find. I hope her spirit and dedication continue to touch the lives of many, both as an attorney and as a remarkable woman, mom, wife, and advocate for parents striving for the best for their children. If you're looking for someone who truly cares, I highly recommend her.

I had an extremely disappointing experience with Gisela. Throughout my case, I felt that communication was severely lacking—emails and calls often were responsive but lacked substance, leaving me feeling uninformed about the status of my case and I had to ask questions constantly. Also I never received all of the communications from the other side as Gisela acted and responded unilaterally at times, which made the case more high conflict than it needed to be. Additionally, the attorney seemed unprepared during court appearances and failed to provide the level of advocacy I expected for such an important matter. I also felt the billing practices were unclear and excessive. I was charged for time spent correcting mistakes the attorney made, which added unnecessary stress to an already difficult process. She works long hours apparently (nights and weekends), but you’ll be charged for every single email no matter how unproductive or inefficient it is.

We retained Gisela and her team for our surrogacy case. We get that the process is complicated by nature, but it was not as smooth as we hoped it to be. There were more hiccups than we liked. However, to keep a long story short, Gisela made up for the issues from her team while maintaining her professionalism.

Words cannot explain how happy I am with Gisela’s work, and the outcome of my case! I got EVERYTHING I asked for. My case was a complex DV and custody case. Not once did Gisela doubt my truth. I always felt heard and cared for. Many times she would email me at 9PM to answer any questions I had. Gisela and her team have passion for family law and their dedication speaks for itself. Thank you Gisela for helping me keep my baby safe! I will forever be grateful for you!
