Gina DeVito is a force of nature—equal parts sharp-witted attorney, relentless advocate, and truth-telling author. Born and raised in Brooklyn, New York, she brings an unmistakable grit and straight-talk sensibility to everything she does. Her (soon to be) bestselling memoir, Brooklyn Grit, chronicles her journey from the streets of Brooklyn to the courtroom trenches of California, offering a raw, poignant, and often hilarious look at what it means to fight—for justice, for family, and for yourself.

Known for her no-nonsense approach and unwavering commitment to her clients, Gina has built a reputation for taking on tough cases with unmatched tenacity. As one former client put it, “She’d fight the Devil in a phone booth.” That same fire led her to establish her own law firm in 1992, grounded in the principles of creative problem-solving, fairness, and fierce advocacy.

Gina’s discipline and drive extend beyond the courtroom. A competitive runner and bodybuilder, she holds herself to the highest standards—and expects the same from those around her. That mindset infuses every aspect of her legal practice and client relationships.

In addition to running her firm, Gina previously served as a judge pro tem and taught legal research and writing at the University of San Francisco School of Law, where she earned her JD after graduating from Princeton University.

Whether in court or on the page, Gina DeVito brings fierce intelligence, deep compassion, and unapologetic truth to everything she touches. Brooklyn Grit is just the beginning.
