My hero...she saved my relationship with my children.

Gavin and I just finished temporary orders for my divorce. We were up against a very high-priced partner with a big firm downtown. I was astounded by the level of detail and preparation on Gavin's part in preparation for our proceedings. We were only allotted 90 Minutes for the entire proceeding a...nd Gavin's ability to appropriately shift and balance that time strategically was brilliant. Her cross examination of the petitioner was methodical and she was able to get the witness to perjure herself on at least three separate occasions through her skillful approach. At the conclusion of our proceeding, our judge crucified the petitioner and awarded ZERO temporary maintenance! Gavin is a cool customer and an assassin in the courtroom when you need her most. I am deeply indebted to her for such savvy and skillful representation.

Gavin Marie Halligan is excellent in every possible way

Gavin saved me! I was in a very scary place with a little girl and she assisted me in a Permanent Protection Order Hearing. I was terrified of the trial, but with Gavin by my side it was smooth and fearless. She is someone I would trust with my life. The order was issued, and if I ever needed a law...yer again, she would be my gal! Gavin is compassionate and smart. She had everything prepared within very short amount of time. She is organized beyond belief and actually cares about her clients. If you live near Boulder or the surrounding areas, I could not refer you to a better person. He collogue Todd Burnham was just as fantastic! This is a group of people I will forever be thankful for finding and most importantly keeping us safe.

Horrible Experience

Gavin Halligan talked to me in the interview to hire them, Halligan LLC, for a custody case. She promised a lot in the interview. I spent about $40K and lost in three hearings back to back with strong cases in which the other legal evaluators were saying I have more than 95% chance to win. I had to h...ire another law firm to appeal them. They charged me thousands of dollars for hearing preparations in which they failed in all of them. Then, out of a sudden, they withdrew from the case and said the attorney went to her vacation, completely unresponsive, left some unfinished tasks undone to my disadvantage which hurt my case more. The whole experience with Halligan law firm was horrible and a nightmare. This is my recommendation: Stay as far as possible away from Halligan law firm. I am happy with the new attorney I hired for my case now. For more information, I can be contacted directly.

We would like to clarify that Gavin Halligan was not your attorney of record, nor did you have a consultation with her. Gavin Halligan never spoke with you via phone nor while your case was active with the firm and therefore Gavin Halligan did not state anything you allege she said to you. Your consultation and representation were handled by different members of the firm. When a client retains an attorney with no pending motions or hearings, it is often impossible to predict how many court filings and hearings will be necessary in the future. Some cases unexpectedly require an unusually high number of hearings and emergency motions within a short period of time. We understand the stress that such proceedings can bring, especially when a case involves a litigious party. We encourage clients with billing or service concerns to reach out to us directly so we can address the same promptly and thoroughly. We strive to provide the best possible service and support to all our clients and will use your feedback to enhance our future efforts.
