Do Not Go To Court Without an Attorney

After dealing with attorneys, judges and caseworkers as foster parents, we hired Chris Mulligan to be our voice in the courtroom. As a foster parent, you are often ignored or even bullied by attorneys and caseworkers, but Mr. Mulligan always made sure we were heard. He was clear and blunt with us reg...arding our adoption process. He never gave us hope where there was no hope and he was always straight-forward when it came to answering questions. He understands the adoptive and foster parent process, and he does not mince words when it comes to dealing with DCF or YFA or any of the case management services. He waded through the paperwork and made sure that the courts, the caseworkers and the attorneys understood our position. He fought for us and for the little boy we're adopting even when the courts reunified the child. Once the child came back into the "care" of the courts, Mr. Mulligan took every step possible to make sure we were not ignored or pushed around by DCF. When you hire an attorney, you want one who isn't afraid to protect his clients. Christopher Mulligan will and did fight for us every step of the way. Going to court with an attorney changes everything. We are extremely pleased with Mr. Mulligan's services and would never consider fostering or adopting again without him in our corner.

Elite level professional

When trying to find the right lawyer, I spent days researching bios, reviews, and referrals. I decided to find someone who has the same interests I do, and puts their family above everything else. Chris does just that, and it shows in his work. He helped me start my business, helped my wife with a cu...stody case, and pointed me in the right direction when it came to taking on my homeowners insurance. My family will be forever grateful, and I know who to call in the future. Thank you Chris. You have forever changed my idea of what a "lawyer" should be.
