She can help to make things right if you have bene injured or treated unfairly. She cares about her clients and will do her best to make sure your interests are protected. Gina is experienced with criminal defense (both state and federal), appeals, postconviction relief, and personal injury cases.. Examples of Gina's results:. • Civil rights lawsuit settlement: Gina settled a civil rights lawsuit for $75,000 on behalf of two African-American men who were wrongfully stopped by Des Moines Police. • Dismissed case: A Polk County judge dismissed a criminal charge against an African American man represented by Gina. The judge agreed with Gina that the man should never have been approached by police to begin with, and so the police had violated the man’s constitutional rights. • Not guilty verdict: A Polk County jury deliberated for only 15 minutes before finding Gina’s client Keilon Hill NOT GUILTY of harassment of a public official. Mr. Hill was canvassing for a political candidate in West Des Moines when a local resident reported him as a “suspicious person.” Mr. Hill repeatedly asked the responding officer if he had broken any laws and received no answer. The officer arrested Mr. Hill after Mr. Hill asked the officer to leave him alone and walked away. The jury agreed with Gina that asserting your right to be left alone is not a crime. • Murder conviction overturned: Gina represented a young woman who was convicted of killing her toddler and was serving a life sentence. Gina convinced the judge to overturn the 1st degree murder conviction and order a new trial for the client. The judge granted a new trial because Gina was able to establish that the client’s trial attorney made several serious errors at the client’s first trial.

He graduated from high school in Edinburg, Texas. The southern border of Gary’s home county in Texas is the Rio Grande River. Hidalgo County is the poorest county in Texas. One of his proudest accomplishments is securing a full-time summer job at age 15 and working every year since then.. Gary attended the University of Texas where he secured a bachelor’s degree in business administration, and he majored in accounting and the business honors program. Gary worked in the kitchen at his dorm in college. He worked full time in the summer months delivering appliances. During his undergraduate years in Austin, Gary was hired by the prestigious law firm of Vinson & Elkins as an office assistant and law clerk.. Upon graduating from the University of Texas, Gary was admitted to law school at the University of Houston. He worked at Sisters of Charity of the Incarnate Ward as a network engineer and paid his way through law school (with help from his parents). Gary was licensed by the state of Texas in 1984, and he immediately made a name for himself trying jury cases to verdict. He specialized in workers’ compensation and catastrophic loss cases. Gary made partner at a litigation boutique by 1999 and was Board Certified in Personal Injury Trial Law that same year.. During his time in law school, Gary met his future wife who graduated from the University of Iowa in 1980. Julie Coates lived in the small town of Cromwell (Gary likes to call this a suburb of Creston). They were married in Cromwell in 1985. After many trips to Iowa to spend holidays and summer days with Julie’s extended family, Julie and Gary moved their family, now consisting of two children, to Iowa. Julie formally worked at Simpson College. Their children attended college in Iowa and live in Warren County. Their family now includes three dogs, a cat, and they live in the beautiful state that is Iowa. Gary loves the outdoors and enjoys watching his neighbors plant and harvest their corn, soybeans, and hay fields.. After moving his family to Iowa, Gary worked at Iowa Legal Aid as a senior staff attorney. He created a family law unit and supervised all family law intakes for the central Iowa region.
