John Joseph Gilligan

I originally hired John Gilligan as an expert witness in a lawsuit against my family law attorney who messed up my case and bankrupted me while giving my ex a multimillion dollar estate. John not only helped me recoup some of those losses, but he helped me enforce and collect on multiple child suppor...t court orders by filing writs that other "family law specialists" didn't know how to file. After being in the family law system for so long, John Gilligan is the only attorney I would recommend.

I highly recommend John Gilligan as family law attorney from Brandmeyer, Gilligan & Dockstader, LLP. I found through this experience that Mr. Gilligan is definitely someone you can trust! The moment I entered his office to obtain legal representation for my custody case, Mr. Gilligan has been truly... professional, understanding and supportive in such a difficult case in obtaining sole physical and legal custody of my two children ages 12 and 14. Throughout this very difficult ordeal, my children and I experienced a huge amount of emotional distress but having Mr. Gilligan as my attorney made all the difference, I felt confident and assured that the decision would be in our favor. I cannot emphasize how grateful I am to Mr. Gilligan and his staff for all the professional work done in my case. I have a huge sense of relief and peace knowing that my children are now safe under my care.

I was referred to John Gilligan when I wanted to file for divorce in January 2013. Throughout the entire process John was very honest, timely, responsive, and always kept me up to date in the proceedings. All of these things added up to me feeling safe and taken care of as I went through one of the ...hardest times in my life. Beyond even the above factors, John helped me when I felt out of control with the process, directed me on how to handle custody and co-parenting problems that arose, and answered any and all questions that I had. All of this led to me having my children 80% of the time, getting a fair child support and spousal support judgement, and a wage assignment so that I didn't have to worry about financial abuse or how I was going to take care of my children. Although going through a divorce is rarely pleasant, John made the process the very best that it could be. I've recommended him to several acquaintances and I can't speak highly enough about his services and ability. Heidi

John was recommended to me by my ex-coworker in American Honda. I hired him to handle my divorce in 2005 and hired him again in 2014. Recently, he represented me in court and handled my defense when my Ex wanted a reimbursement of his child support. In both cases, my Ex-husband hated him! John is a g...enius. His level of intelligence, talent and knowledge are remarkable! He knows family law inside out while eating peanuts. He will defend you fearlessly and will make sure your case wins. You will be happy with the results. Without John, I probably would not have my kids, child support, and peace of mind. He paved the way for me to have a fresh start in life after a traumatic divorce. Now, after 8 years, I have remarried and happy. I have moved on. Thanks to an excellent lawyer named John Joseph Gilligan!

I had several meetings with John before we filed. Each time I felt more assured and prepared. After being married 19 years, I wanted to exit my marriage with little fighting and haggling. John was so matter of fact and concise, he laid out the strategy and plan and allowed my three kids and myself... to reach the finish line. I would be pleased and I have already recommended him to others.
