Sharp as whip, highly recommended!

I feel very fortunate that Attorney Makayla Caliri accepted my case after I chose to switch legal representation. She immediately impressed me with her sharp intellect and ability to quickly absorb and analyze the complexities of my situation, which involved a challenging financial picture and intern...ational assets. Attorney Caliri was consistently professional, responsive, and solution-oriented. She maintained a positive, can-do attitude throughout the legal proceedings, which helped bring about a fair and satisfactory outcome. Her strategic thinking and attention to detail were clear at every step. I also want to commend her office staff, particularly the paralegal team, for their high-quality work in preparing court documents. The billing process was transparent, which I greatly appreciated. If you are looking for a highly capable and trustworthy attorney, I strongly recommend Makayla Caliri. You will be in excellent hands.

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.

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!
