Gina Nicole Policastri
Lonich Patton Ehrlich Policastri PC
Gina Policastri is a Family Law Specialist as certified by The State Bar of California Board of Legal Specialization, and partner at Lonich Patton Ehrlich Policastri, where she has worked since graduating from Santa Clara University School of Law. Gina was one of the firm’s first associates and, during her 21-year tenure, has been instrumental in growing the firm into one of the largest family law firms in California.
Gina obtained a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Santa Clara University in 2000 and her Juris Doctorate from Santa Clara University School of Law in 2003, where she earned a place as an editor of the Santa Clara Law Review by writing a legal comment on the Barry Bonds divorce case and the prenuptial agreement legislation it subsequently sparked.
Gina handles all areas of family law including high conflict custody and domestic violence cases, complex business valuation and asset division issues and complicated child and spousal support matters. Gina also draws from her extensive network of family law professionals including forensic accountants, appraisers, vocational and child custody evaluators, parent coordinators, and mental health professionals to assist her in efficiently moving each case to resolution
As Gina’s reviews reflect, she handles all of her cases with care, compassion and attention to detail. She uses her persuasive writing skills, familiarity with the Santa Clara County family court system and psychology background to effectively litigate what are often emotionally driven matters, but is also cognizant of the financial burden of litigation and assists clients in making the best cost-effective decisions along the way. Gina finds that her psychology background is particularly useful in understanding the underlying dynamics in a family law case, as well as in effectively analyzing the other side’s litigation tactics.
