				Mr. Michael Sarris is an exceptional lawyer who demonstrates outstanding professionalism, efficiency, and a thoughtful approach in every aspect of his work. He provides insightful advice, thoroughly considers all sides of an issue, and consistently goes above and beyond to support his clients. Mike’s guidance helped me navigate a challenging family court matter, offering the stability and expertise that anyone would hope to find in a legal professional. I couldn’t have asked for better representation. Highly recommended!

				This review is long overdue. Kristin Trutanich and her team worked diligently to help me secure joint custody and overnights with my little girl. By doing that she helped me become a daddy instead of just a visitor in my child’s life so for that I am forever grateful… and we’re not finished yet.



I highly recommend this firm and if I could give them 10 stars, I would.

				Absolutely fantastic work.  Been a client for 7 years and I've found going elsewhere was a big mistake.

				To say I am grateful for John Gilligan representing me would be an understatement. The minute he took my case. My worries and fares fell off my shoulders. He and his Herm were always there for me. John and Anna answered all of my questions every time I had a concern. I felt respected and cared for. I feel he represented me above and beyond. And continues to show his expertise compassion and knowledge. John was and continues to be upfront honest, and tells me exactly where I am and what we were going to achieve and how we were going to do it. He got my case handled and beautiful timing. The day I went to Court and had John. Gilligan sitting with me, and representing me I knew the outcome would be the best outcome possible.



Thank you for protecting me saving me and being the best attorney I could ever find. I would recommend this law firm to anyone and everyone.
