Great Attorney

Jane Michalakes was my attorney for my divorce process. Although I had my doubts in the beginning as I thought she was being "too nice" responding to my ex she came through very professionally in the end and put the ex in their place when she needed to. Jane and her team of paralegals/staff at Hall...igan LLC did a wonderful job at handling all the required documents, mediation, research, being the middle person with the ex, and etc... I would highly recommend them. Thanks again for all your hard work.
