"Michaela is the best child custody attorney you will ever have. She is so experienced, knows how to navigate every situation and understands every nuance of the court system. She is super skilled and intelligent. I have been working with her for 8 years and she has never failed me. She is straight forward, thinks quickly, is amazing at pivoting and evolving as your case evolves to ensure to help you protect your children as much as she can. If she doesn't think something will work, she will tell you, she is very very wise and honest. She is kind, caring, understanding, and responsive. She is reliable, prompt and communicative. Her team is amazing too and they also have worked so hard on the case and I am beyond grateful. You get what you pay for and she is worth every penny of the investment because she is so good at what she does. The outcome of my case has gone well so far. Thank you Mrs. Curran and the Curran Law Team."
