Hired Attorney Caitlin Higgins

I am eternally grateful to Ms. Higgins for the work she did on my custody case. She is thorough and knowledgeable, making sure to explain every legal angle so I would have the best information making a decision. She is also a very good communicator, often returning emails or calls outside of normal business hours. Ms. Higgins also helped me on a personal level, easing my fears on the day of the trial. She is a confident, strong and concise speaker; I truly felt I had the best in my corner!

Hired Law Firm

Paul Mickelson was my attorney for a DUI charge in DC. The office was timely, courteous, and responsive, as was Mr. Mickelson. Mr. Mickelson's representation was impeccable. I cannot understate his outstanding professionalism, foresight, legal finesse, and ability to orate. I am happy to have been found not guilty. But had it been another case that resulted in any other verdict, I can honestly say that it would have been the best possible outcome regardless, because I would have been represented by one of the best attorneys I have ever encountered practicing law. Highly Recommend.

They were very willing to customize it to our situation and to explain all options and how it might relate to us.

Divorce

Hired Attorney Caitlin Higgins

Caitlin displayed a balance of compassion and professionalism that made a deeply painful process as smooth as possible. She exceeded expectations in the settlement she negotiated, and kept me informed throughout the process. I would recommend Caitlin to anyone going through a divorce, especially a divorce involving military service members.

Hired Attorney James Tate

Horrible lawyer, will take your money and buy his 70 foot yacht, get a retainer for his PI Michelle, then proceed to do nothing at all. Worthless as a lawyer and worthless as a human being. Be prepared to get thrown on the bus so he can set sail.
