Gavin went above and beyond in helping me through my divorce. Gavin always had my best interest in mind and made the process very easy given the circumstances. What stood out one day 1 was how she helped me through the options in our consultation. This is why I hired her and it proved to be the best choice.

Gavin and Allison were wonderful to work with. They have tons of knowledge and they were amazing! They helped me immensely!

Gavin was always available and had a complete grasp of the process. She was thorough and understood the finer points of the law such that she stayed one step ahead of opposing counsel.

Divorce and custody battles are exhausting and unfamiliar territory for first time divorcees! After having fired 2 other attorneys who I felt were not representing my interests, I found Gavin Halligan. Gavin has been a game changer for me. Gavin Halligan listens, offers sound advice, always returns my calls/emails, and most importantly, represents ME. Gavin has fought hard for my custody rights and has helped me gain the custody I so desperately desired. As a father, you already start in the negative for child custody during a divorce. You must have a strong attorney who knows the law and the system to gain the custody you desire for the relationship you deserve as a parent. Gavin Halligan will help you through this troubling time and make sure your rights are not lost in unnecessary compromises. Gavin’s expertise, professionalism, and strong representation of my interests gave me hope that I would achieve my parenting rights as a father. She continues to help me gain valuable time with my child and I can’t thank her enough for that! I highly recommend Gavin Halligan if you are looking for representation during a divorce or child custody battle.

Ms. Halligan and her team did an outstanding job representing me during my divorce. I give them my highest possible recommendation. My divorce had some complicating factors including children, a variety of assets types, and partial ownership of a business which needed to be addressed. Gavin and her team were always knowledgeable and prepared for every step in the process. They were also personable and empathetic which made me feel like they really understood my concerns and priorities while professionally steering me to make decisions that were in my long term best interest.

Simply put, Gavin made my ex-wife's lawyer look like a guy who got his degree from a mail order catalog! Though he supposedly had been in practice for 30 years, Gavin mopped the floor with him! She countered every demand that my ex and her lawyer made with law that backed my position and she gave me awesome advice on how to respond to their attempts at extortion. In the end, my ex ended up with less than she had before she got greedy.

Gavin is VERY detailed. She crosses her T's and dots her I's. We gained a lot out of mediation and never ended up needing to go to court.

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 and 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.

I had been trapped in an abusive marriage for many years and finally got the courage to leave. As one one figure as soon as I did drop the divorce on him all hell broke lose. Desperate, broke, and and in tears I called many lawyers to see if anyone would be willing to help me. I was relieved when Gavin and the Burnham law firm were very sympathetic to my situation and took me and my case on. Initially I was feeling frustrated at the fact they were so calm in the situation when I was so upset at some of the things I felt he got away with, but soon I saw they had a much bigger picture in mind then I could comprehend at the time. Gavin is very calm, collected, and calculated in her decisions and ultimately won in her strategy unlike the many other impulsive lawyers out there. She is not going to deceive you into thinking you can win something which the judge would not ultimately grant in court, as many lawyers will in order to profit off of peoples emotions in such a situation. Thank you Gavin!
