With a background in social work and the influence of a grandfather and uncle who were passionate lawyers, Gina Arquilla DeBoni naturally gravitated towards a career in law where she could put her strong people skills to good use.

Instead of choosing family law however, she chose plaintiff’s personal injury work.

“I practiced insurance defense work for a while, but it didn’t resonate with me,” she states. “I wanted a career where I could help the gravely injured have at least some restitution for the grave injustice they had suffered.”

After law school, Gina established a personal injury law firm with another partner. She left the practice after six years to join Romanucci & Blandin in June 2010 as a managing attorney.

Gina is experienced in the litigation of personal injury cases, including medical malpractice, products liability, nursing–home negligence, premises liability and construction injury. She is also extremely active in her profession.
