Attorney Makayla Caliri

Attorney Makayla Caliri had a deep understanding of the legal issues of our guardianship case. She kept us informed every step of the way and was able to answer our questions thoroughly. Makayla listened to all our concerns and prioritized our case throughout the process. Thanks to her representation..., we achieved a favorable outcome for what was a difficult case. Makayla was always respectful, composed, and presented our case with the utmost confidence. We certainly highly recommend her as a family attorney.

Child custody

I have been working with Makayla for around a year. She has represented me through the entirety of my child custody battle with my son’s father. She has made this awful, stressful, scary experience so easy and calming. Makayla is so professional, personable, and really cares about the people she repr...esents, not just their money. Her ability to work well with opposing counsel has made our time in court fast and easy! I could not be more grateful to have been able to work with her. She has seriously saved me so much stress over this last year. She has been able to get me almost everything I have asked for in court for my son. I will 100% be calling her back if I ever need to get back into court! I would for sure recommend her to anyone in need of a child custody lawyer. She is the best!!

Dedicated and impressive lawyer

I have had the pleasure of working with Makayla Caliri for 2 years on my custody and child support case. It was an extremely complicated case with a long history and background. It was sensitive and traumatic. Somehow Makayla made this case less burdensome and stressful. She did everything in her pow...er to make sure we achieved what was not only needed but wanted in our family case. My child is free of the agony he endured during the long years I struggled in the court system. Makayla is compassionate, intelligent and so dedicated to the work she is committed to. My family is truly blessed to have been able to get her on our side of the fight.

Parent

I couldn't be happier with services provided by Attorney Caliri. She is detail-oriented, responds very quickly, proivides concise documents and instructions/advice, is realistic and above all, she understands the emotional load on a parent and child that accompanies divorce and custody complaints. Sh...e humanizes the process and provides empathy, in addition to being precise with the law. I worked with her for over two years. I felt that she was my partner and advocate for me and my child, and that not a penny was wasted. Her legal work allowed me to focus on being a mother and not feeling like I was in a battle. I highly recommend Attorney Caliri for family law.

Amazing Attorney

I was going through a hard time with my sons mother keeping him from me. I was referred to by a few friends to reach out to Sladen and Costigan family law attorneys. The best decision I could have made. I had the pleasure of working with attorney Makayla Caliri. I couldn’t have asked for a better att...orney. She went above and beyond to help me with my child custody case. She was always available and kept me informed on everything and made this whole process so effortless for me. She was able to get me everything I wanted and more. There are no words to describe how grateful and thankful I am to have her as my attorney. I would hire her again and again with any family matter and I would recommend anyone looking for a family attorney to choose and hire Makayla Caliri. She will go above and beyond and will not disappoint. Thank you Makayla for everything you did for me.
