Knows what he is doing.
Chris Musulin listened to my concerns. He knows Divorce is not a celebration, no matter the reason to proceed. He listens and doesn't waste time due to his knowledge and experience. I knew I was in good hands when he told me exact answers before settling. I would hire him if you are interested ...

Relief!
My ex filed a motion that I knew was too complicated for me to attempt to deal with. Thomas Belitza at Musulin Law Firm jumped right in with the right knowledge and questions, and the motion never went anywhere. As I was saying to my friend the other day, it was worth every penny!

Highly Recommend
I cannot say enough about Musulin Law Firm, specifically about my lawyer Christina Fulton Groves. I was in a very difficult situation: coming out of a short-lived marriage where I had moved out of the country with a man who had dual citizenship. I had just escaped the marriage and returned to the USA...
