Top quality work

Ms McCaig is energetic, on top of complicated legal proceedings and equally capable of aggressive representation, or reasonable and efficient negotiations. She is also very personable and always returned phone calls promptly, met all deadlines, as well as my expectations. Her work, especially researc...h and writing, is very good quality.

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I endorse this lawyer for excellent skills in family law litigation. Attorney McCaig is highly knowledgeable about the finer points of the law but is also a tough negotiator.

Any person with reasonable expectations in need of a family law litigation attorney would do well to hire Attorney McCaig."
