If you want the BEST...

Janice Mulligan handled my husband's wrongful death/malpractice case 26 years ago, and did an excellent job. I have referred her many times over the years, and have now unfortunately, had to reach out to her again, with regard to a malpractice case on behalf of my 40 year old daughter who died this ...past November. Jan is not only knowledgeable and professional, but she has a true heart for helping people. Practicing law is her "purpose and passion" and she displays this through her compassion and caring, but her fire and tenacity are as alive now, as they were 26 years ago. Jan fights for her clients and she does not back down. She is honest and direct, which is what is needed at an emotional time, as we grieve the loss or injury of a loved one. I highly recommend Jan to anyone seeking truth and justice.

Posted by anonymous | May 09, 2014 | Birth Injury

I contacted Jan Mulligan on behalf of a family member to review a potential birth injury case.

I contacted Jan Mulligan on behalf of a family member to review a potential birth injury case. She responded very quickly. She and her colleagues then reviewed the documentary evidence, and she promptly provided a response. Although she did not accept the case, Jan took the time to explain in cons...iderable detail the weaknesses of the case and the reasons why they were not able to accept the case. No other lawyer has taken as much time to explain why they would not accept the case. Although Jan did not accept the case, I feel that if the case had been stronger, and, if Jan had accepted the case, she would have communicated promptly and very well with my family member throughout the case.

Outstanding

Kudos and heartfelt thanks are due Jan Mulligan for her work in recovering damages from the insurance company of a man who ran into my 88-year-old Dad in a crosswalk. Jan patiently explained our options and helped us make decisions that worked for US. We were able to get a reasonable recovery - even... after the defendant disappeared - without spending an uncomfortable amount of time and energy when time is so precious. Jan clearly understands people as well as the law.

Nothing short of amazing

Nobody will represent you like this firm. Jan and Betsy did an amazing job handling our case. Right from the beginning they exuded a sense of caring and concern that can only be described as motherly. During our immensely emotional battle with the hospital this legal team fought for my daughter to...oth and nail and was instrumental in providing a lifetime benefit that will actually last her lifetime. Jan and Betsy work together like peanut butter and jelly. Both are extremely competent as well as sensitive and personable. They took on our case and made us feel like family. There where times when reviewing our case when Jan would get goosebumps or just shed a tear and I knew instantly that her emotions where so very connected to ours and so genuine that I just knew we where in great hands. Mulligan and Banham did a fantastic job. I would recommend this firm to anyone who is in need of justice, anyone who has been medically wronged..... Mulligan and Banham do the work and they do it with heart and soul.

Excellent +

This firm did an amazing job representing me in an unfortunately overly-complicated malpractice case. I'm not sure if any other firm would have been able to win the case, let alone present my case as strongly as they did. They were an absolute pleasure to work with. Everyone in their small office was... very friendly and supportive and made me feel like we were all one big team. We spent a lot of time together through the process and they were wonderful people who cared about me as a person as well as genuinely caring about seeking justice in my case. Jan and her partner Betsy are a fantastic team whose strengths complement each other perfectly. Betsy excelled in writing exceptional motions and responses throughout the case as well as keeping track of every minute detail of the case. And Jan was nothing short of amazing in her verbal dominance of the other side in depositions and trial arguments. Let’s just say I’m very glad she was on my side of the table. At the conclusion of my case the judge looked at me and said, “I hope you appreciate the Herculean effort that your lawyers gave in this case.” Believe me I did! And as impressive a comment as that was coming from a neutral observer of the case I was not surprised because that is the type of effort they had given from Day 1. That’s just how they roll.
