Michaela Cathleen Curran

Michaela and especially Kelli Blackburn did a great job with my initial family case. I dont know what happened after that. My narcissistic ex wife pathologically lied for 8 years eventually leading to me being incarcerated for violating numerous false restraining orders trying to protect my child...ren .I was a highly respected special education teacher for over 24 years with a Masters degree in Early childhood special education. My ex wife made false allegations of abuse. I was eventually jailed for 8 months and lost my teaching Credential after 24 years of helping children. Michaela charged me twice what her initial retainer was She never came to see me once to discuss my case, never gave me my discovery even though I requested it multiple times, and never set up a private line to discuss my case that she said she would do multiple times. I ended up spending 8 months in Vista county jail. She had me plead guilty to a charge I never committed even though I gave her ample evidence to contest the ridiculous charge. She lost valuable evidence I gave her and never even looked at my discovery to prepare any kind of defense. The notebook of evidence I gave her took months to put together and she didnt use it and then she lost it. I finally got my discovery and was in shock. My case was so easy to defend and she did absolutely nothing except encpirahe me to plead to a horrible deal offered by the DA. She charged me $10,000 to do absolutely nothing and letting me spend more time in jail when I should have never been there in the first place. After I got out she said she would file a motion to see my children in 6 months. The. she changed it to after I finished the court ordered classes and conditions. I completed everything thing she asked and she still didnt file a motion for family court. She finally filed a motion for family court. One day before my court date she obtained a 2 month continuance without my permission. I was devastated. She said she needed to prepare better for my case. That never happened. She sent me into family court with a claw clerk that couldn't even represent me. Right before my case was called another attorney came. The lawyer knew nothing about my complex case and just sat there. Now I have to wait another 8 months to request visitation with the kids I have not seen in 2 years. Kids that love their dad more than anything. I have made numerous requests for her to return my notebook of vital and crucial evidence but she lost it I highly recommend you find another attorney.

I don’t even know where to begin. I will start off by saying that I am eternally grateful for the Curran Law Firm and what they have done for my family. Kelli Blackburn and Ashley Dudley took on this case as if it were their own. During a very difficult time for our family, they came in with experien...ce, knowledge, and confidence. They guided us every step of the way and were quick to respond to every text, call, and email. They took their time to review every little detail to ensure that they would win this case and reunite our family back together. They were calm, warm, and friendly outside of the courtroom with the utmost patience for our family and all of our questions and concerns during this difficult time. But during the trial, they were fierce, confident, and ran the courtroom as if it were a one man show, leaving the judge to see the petitioners false accusations and discredit him and his testimony all together. Kelli and Ashley are a power team and well oiled machine. They know exactly what they are doing. What started out as a professional relationship turned into a life long friendship and knowing these girls will forever be on our family’s side for the remainder of what we may walk through, is the most comforting feeling to have. If you aren’t using the Curran Law Firm you’re doing it wrong. Do yourself a favor and use these bad ass b****es for any roadblock you may run into in life. I can’t thank you ladies enough for all you have done for my family.

First and foremost if you are reading this you are already headed in the right direction I made the mistake of going cheap and you know what they say "go big or go home". So with that said Miss. Curran and her staff at Curran law firm are heavy hitters. Nobody wants to end up in a legal matter but if... you do please trust me when I say you are in the best hands possible. I have nothing but rep act for my attorney and her staff know lagal reliable and strong communication was never an issue and everything was handled in a professional manner no sugar coating I truly felt like I had a team backing me in the courtroom and I am not lying when I say Michaella straight shark in the court room she gets her point across go with her no regrets. Thank you God bless you Curran office.
