A review almost 30 years to late

I hired Michael when he first was starting out in Wilmington working under David Haley and my Aunt Vivian. Michael was energetic, honest, upfront, and eager to assist me in my quest to achieve custody of my 4 sons. I have recommended Michael throughout the years to many of people needing help. I for ...one am not sure if I ever said thank you properly tho. So thank you Michael for helping me get custody of my boys then. You're one heck of a lawyer.

A Lawyer Who Listens!

We wholeheartedly recommend Attorney Michael Corrigan for any legal matter with which you may need help. We were placed in the unfortunate situation of having a Plaintiff who made false claims against us due to her cold-heartedness, immaturity, and complete inability to communicate like a rational ad...ult. Michael was able to see through the false claims and secured the exact outcome we sought at the beginning of this vexatious litigation. He listened to our accounts, collected evidence and was well prepared to go trial. He was professional and well skilled in his craft. We ended up paying nothing to the Plaintiff. Michael's fees were fair and reasonable. He is the first lawyer of which we know, to actually return money to us, as our case did not require the amount of time originally thought necessary. Attorney Michael Corrigan earned our utmost respect and admiration for a job well done and a favorable outcome. We couldn't be more pleased!

Professionalism and Character-- the Best in Representation

When I met with Michael Corrigan for the initial consultation, I was bringing to him a complicated, contentious divorce and custody issue that was only escalating in intensity and cost. I was frustrated by prior representation--after having engaged one attorney who encouraged me to simply share cust...ody jointly, and another who did not represent me adequately and left me to hash out a hasty interim custody agreement with my ex the night before a trial that I regretted. I was in need of someone who could understand why I took the stance I did, and then help me translate those needs into sensible legal actions. From my first meeting with him, Mr. Corrigan communicated with an air of confidence and sensitivity. He truly listened to my story and understood the numerous concerns I had about custody of my child. He explained my options clearly, and helped me better understand how the Family Court operates so that I could make an informed decision. He validated my perspective about my child’s best interests, and offered a clear plan for how to approach my case. This was in the midst of a situation where numerous actions were required; he and his paralegal Jenny stepped in and took up my case swiftly, and got up to speed with all the pending dates and responses that were needed. I left that first meeting feeling more at ease and hopeful than I had in several months. As the case progressed, Mr. Corrigan continued to be quick to respond with insightful, sound legal advice. He answered all my questions thoroughly, and it was clear from his guidance that he had accumulated much wisdom from his years of practice. He offered recommendations that he thought would bring the case closer to closing, and encouraged me to compromise when that was the best course of action. He equally encouraged me to stand my ground when that was needed. I never felt pressured into a decision, nor did I feel that any input was lacking as I had with the other attorneys. Both Mr. Corrigan and Jenny were endlessly supportive, patient, and responsive. I can happily say at this time that Mr. Corrigan’s representation has resulted in a settlement agreement that not only works for me, but exceeds my expectations of what I thought was possible. His efforts have succeeded for me where two other attorneys have failed. I simply cannot recommend his services highly enough; he is knowledgeable, confident, professional, wise, and—in a field where so many others are clearly not—he is ethical. It is apparent that he finds family law rewarding, because he is dedicated, and his practice is thriving. In short: I am indebted to Mike and Jenny for their dedication and skill in my case, and wholeheartedly recommend them as an investment in your success.
