What motivates Gina the most is "being on the side of right". Attorney Kuhlman, formerly a partner at a large regional law firm, is devoted to representing clients, whether employees or employers, or defendants in criminal cases, as if each case were her own. Justice demands fairness. All employees should be treated fairly, and all employers must demand equal and fair employment practices. Gina has extensive experience guiding employers in fulfilling their responsibilities, and in representing employees whose employers were misguided. In criminal defense, all defendants truly deserve the right to counsel and to be innocent until proven guilty. Attorney Kuhlman defends against the trend to presume all defendants guilty until proven innocent.
