About
As Gavin Halligan grew up in Colorado there was never any question she would be a lawyer one day. Her parents just knew. Early in life, Gavin showed a strong sense of fairness and the seemingly innate ability to articulate it. Often.A continual refrain in the Halligan home: “It’s not fair!” “Save it for when you’re a judge.”Gavin attended The Catholic University of America in Washington, D.C., then the University of Denver Sturm College of Law – where, as predicted, she loved the law while discovering an affinity for litigation. She chose family law because it offered her the chance to “fix things” and “make them right.”In other words, to finally do what her parents told her to do, make things fair for her clients.Gavin loves the complexities of family law, especially when it involves business interests of any kind and complex assets. She has been a student of business for most of her adult life and that shows in the great many successes the firm has had in cases involving businesses, professional practices, and entrepreneurs.Halligan LLC handles family law matters such as divorce, maintenance/spousal support, high-asset divorce, divorce with business interests, child support, appeals, multistate family law, child custody, and post-decree issues. Gavin is a Super Lawyers "Rising Star" for 2019. Ms. Halligan is a member of the Metro Denver Interdisciplinary Committee, the Denver Bar Association and the Colorado Bar Association's Family Law Section. She has been a Victim’s Advocate for the Federal Heights Police Department since law school.

I am so thankful to have had Gavin, Laura, and the rest of Halligan LLC in my corner during a very difficult process. At the end of the day, I can honestly say that I got almost everything I desired including a great parenting plan that will allow me to have as much time with my son as possible. When it comes to divorce matters, I’m not sure how anyone could choose an attorney not named Gavin Halligan.
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.
I am really glad that I chose to work with Halligan for my divorce. Ben F. and the whole team there did an excellent job. Was continuously impressed with their professionalism throughout the process.
Jane Michalakes was my attorney for my divorce process. Although I had my doubts in the beginning as I thought she was being "too nice" responding to my ex she came through very professionally in the end and put the ex in their place when she needed to. Jane and her team of paralegals/staff at Halligan LLC did a wonderful job at handling all the required documents, mediation, research, being the middle person with the ex, and etc... I would highly recommend them. Thanks again for all your hard work.
I've used 2 other Denver attorneys over the past 5 years for my divorce and both left me wondering how the attorneys actually passed the Bar exam. Gavin has restored my faith that there actually are attorneys who actually know what they are doing. She handled my matter (dispute about travel with my kids) in a professional and fast manner. I can not say enough good things about her and her firm. I will use them in the future if I have any issues with my Ex.....god I hope not.
Gavin Halligan is a superb family law attorney, truly one of a kind! She helped me navigate my extremely high conflict divorce starting in 2017, and continues to assist me 4 years later in ongoing post-decree issues without missing a beat; she’ll make you feel like her only client. The legal separation/divorce process is unique to each person, and Gavin gives her valuable, expert advice and genuinely supports you throughout the entire process. Gavin and her team are highly responsive and extremely professional. While you move through what can be a difficult process at times, you can do so with confidence, knowing you have hired the best!
Gavin and her team took on my divorce and custody jurisdiction case at the last minute right before Christmas. They were attentive, helpful, and responded to every email and concern I had being that I was out of state. And when I tell you I was losing my mind, I was losing it. They were patient with me and calmed me down while helping me get my paperwork in order to ensure I was doing things the right way. Their diligence and dedication to learning my case allowed them to understand my situation from every angle. Ben (the lawyer assigned to my case) was professional and very hands on. He was invested in helping me and his tenacity to ensure the court understood my situation showed throughout the entire process. Their honesty and transparency allowed for me to consider all possible outcomes, but still gave me hope because they worked as hard as they could for my children and I. In the end, they were able to win my case in Colorado and jurisdiction remained in my home state. I recommend Halligan LLC to anyone that wants to feel like more than just a client. Gavin and her team make me feel like I am now part of their family. Thank you!!! A million times!
Gavin and Laura were nothing but exceptional over the past four months and we were able to come to a MOU with opposing counsel without having to go to mediation or court. It's a given that Gavin is intelligent when you first meet her, but she's easy to work with and always has your best interest in mind. Moreover, with my case, she always appeared to be a step ahead of opposing counsel and was nothing but confident and composed. Her paralegal and staff are wonderful to work with and were always available. To this, Gavin was very easy to reach by phone which isn't always the case with larger firms. If you are researching divorce lawyers, I would highly recommend consulting Gavin Halligan - she'll represent you well and make it happen!
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!
