Excellent Choice

My case was just resolved. My case is unique in that I filed a modification to my divorce from 6+ years ago, but my ex-husband is extremely difficult. Something that should have only taken a month or two ended up being 16 months! Makayla with me every step of the way! She made sure I understood ev...erything and was prepared. Makayla was great with communication! She was very responsive and attentive - I knew she really cared! Sladen and Costigan is a great law firm to use and treat you so well you feel like your are their only client! The entire team was so wonderful and helpful. I highly recommend Attorney Makayla Caliri! She will put in the work to get you what you DESERVE!

So grateful for Makayla!

I cannot recommend Makayla enough! Thankfully my divorce case has been settled, but throughout the entire process (even though she was not my main attorney), she was extremely responsive, knowledgeable, and kind. I could call the office needing advice - or even a legal document drafted at the last mi...nute - and she always stepped up. I am so appreciative of her seeing my case through to the end and always responding to me in a timely manner. After the amount of money you have to spend during a divorce, it feels better knowing someone like Makayla is there for you and actually cares. Thank you, thank you, Makayla!

Custody Case

I was battling my ex-husband for years in court and my attorney at the time was not even responding to me. My ex had been repeatedly harassing me and taking me to court over ridiculous things to get more custody and not to pay child support. We had been through 5 judges and it seemed never-ending. M...akayla was recommended to me by a co-worker. Makayla and her office were supportive and kept in touch with me regularly and got an almost 6-year battle settled in less than 8 months. She showed strength when dealing with a very difficult male attorney and did not back down. My ex did not get any additional custody and he now has to pay me the retro child support he had not been paying the entire time. I was impressed with her strength and knowledge at her age and can only assume she will continue to grow as a successful attorney who gets results.

A Saving Grace

Divorce can be one of the worst storms in life that you ever have to face. It could be crushing not just emotionally but financially and full of lifestyle changes that can be extremely hard to understand. Through mine I was very lucky to have Makayla Kalari from Sladen and Costigan as a guiding light...house to get me through. She was extremely professional in all aspects of being a divorce attorney, she was always able to communicate whenever it was needed, she was wonderful and explaining all the legal terms of conditions that I would be facing, and she fought for me with tenacity and teamwork for me to get the best possible outcome in the divorce proceedings. I would recommend her wholeheartedly for anyone going through a horrible storm of divorce to have her help to get you back into a safe harbor and start a new life again with worries behind you, head held high and a bright future ahead, Thank You Makayla
