Mia Cahill

Mia Cahill is an extremely intelligent, professional, and experienced divorce lawyer. During such a difficult period I felt so comfortable and confident that I was well represented with my divorce needs. She was extremely thorough and patient to explain the details of what was needed and the proces...s of how to handle it. I have recommend Mia to others in need of her service. She is an exceptional lawyer and wonderful person! I will be forever grateful for all she did for me.

I met in person with 5 divorce attorneys before I met with Mia. The other attorneys seemed disinterested and/or uncaring about my situation, which I thought was strange for what is basically a sales meeting for them. Mia was completely different. 1. She acted like she believed me (which is good, b...ecause I was telling the truth). 2. She was proactive; she gave me a to-do list to get started & there were things on that to-do list that made my case cheaper & more successful. I could tell later that my ex's attorney didn't give him a to-list because of the mistakes the other side made that we didn't make. 3. Mia is a nice person who is a joy to work with. 4. She was cost-efficient - my whole litigated divorce with disputed custody, property, & valuation of a family-owned business came in for $8,000 (your situation may vary).

In seeking an attorney to represent us, we strive to find someone who is expert in their field...someone with whom we can place our trust and have confidence in knowing we will be well-represented. Mia Cahill met all of my expectations and more throughout my divorce proceedings. She earned my confide...nce and proved herself worthy of my trust. This was after I had dismissed another attorney for having done nothing more than consume the entirety of the retainer and falsify documents! So, you might imagine that I had some hesitancy with anyone at that point. I tend to be a "hands on" person wanting to understand every aspect of the issues and challenges. Mia never discouraged that. She engaged me in relevant discussions, shared ideas, was open to my suggestions, and had plenty of strategic know-how and finesse that made our "partnership" and the outcome very successful. Just like a marriage, it takes two people to make it work. Mia made it easy for us to have an excellent union throughout my divorce proceedings. Long after the divorce was finalized (June 2010), I have on-again, off-again continued to counsel with her when the need has arisen. My opinion has not changed over the years, and I feel as strongly about Mia's professional capabilities as I did back then. I would never hesitate to call on Mia to represent me should the need arise. I trust her, and that is everything.

I was recommended to Mia from a friend after firing my prior attorney for unethical behaviors. Because of my prior experience, I was very vulnerable and hesitant to trust. Mia gained my trust and my respect. She not only looked out for my interest in my divorce case, but went above and beyond t...o protect me from future liabilities. Her knowledge and advice were invaluable.

Mia and I met to discuss my divorce years before I actually secured her firm's services. We had a 60-minute conversation initially and within 60 seconds of that hour-long consultation, I knew Mia was the attorney I needed. She prioritized my heartbreak and sorrow. She made time to listen to me carry ...on and on about my disappointments and hardships. She was empirical and lucid, as you'd expect an attorney to be, yes. But she was tender and empathetic too, and to be frank, I didn't expect that. I thought attorneys were icy cold machines that advise, bill and move on. Oh how wrong I was - at least as it applied to Mia. She possessed an encyclopedic knowledge of the case law that would impact my circumstances. So first off, she was informed and armed me well. Secondly, she was patient and thoughtful, in that she thought before she spoke. I was at what amounts to the most vulnerable I had ever been in my life, confronting a level of pain and sadness I had never encountered and there was my lawyer: measured, tactical, and yes, just plain gentle with me. And finally, when it was time to craft a strategy to advocate for my rights and propose a plan to the other side that was in keeping with my interests, Mia was unwavering. She leaned forward and commanded the space she was in and asserted my arguments with a grace, style and an aptitude I repeatedly found myself thrilled to have in my corner. I am a smart, well-informed single father who needed a world-class litigator that wouldn't patronize me with empty promises and platitudes. I needed an expert with a heart. Mia is that attorney. She strikes an astonishing balance between delivering brilliant legal representation precisely as you need it supplied, while doing so with the humanity and kindness of a loyal confidant. As it turns out, she is as impressive a human being as she ended up being an attorney. Hire her. Period. You'll be glad you did.
