Happy Clients We’ve Helped
Protection From Abuse Order As A Weapon
"I hired Attorney Mulligan in connection with a Protection From Abuse Petition filed against me. It was clear that my ex-girlfriend was just using the PFA to obtain custody of our child. Attorney Mulligan really did a deep dive into the facts of my case and recognized a pattern in my ex girlfriend’s actions and behaviors. She tried reporting me to Children and Youth Services as well as the police. When nothing worked, she filed a PFA. During the PFA hearing, Attorney Mulligan exposed my ex-girlfriend’s pattern of behavior as well as her lies. The PFA was dismissed and I was granted immediate custody of my child. Attorney Mulligan truly cared about my case and did the research necessary to achieve a favorable outcome. I would strongly recommend Attorney Mulligan for any family law matter you may be facing. I was extremely satisfied with his representation."

Happy Clients We’ve Helped
"I recently relocated to Texas, but never notified the Father of our children properly. Needless to say, I was concerned when I received legal custody documents from the Court. I contacted Attorney Jim Mulligan who explained the process and the probable outcomes. Attorney Mulligan prepared for the relocation hearing tirelessly until the day of hearing. Fortunately, we were able to negotiate a deal prior to taking testimony. As a part of the agreement, I was allowed to relocate to Texas with our children and the Father received a very fair custody schedule. Experience in family law truly matters. I strongly recommend Attorney Mulligan for a custody or family law matter."
