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!

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!!

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!
