About
- When Gavin was growing up in Colorado, her parents had absolutely no doubt she would be a lawyer
- It was not a decision
- it was a deduction
- Early on 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.” At The Catholic University of America in Washington, D.C., Gavin discovered a love of government – or, more accurately, the legislative process
- Law school was next – University of Denver – where, as predicted, she loved the law
- Studying law was fascinating, somewhere in the early days she realized that, someday at least, she wanted to write laws as well
- When Gavin graduated, she had a choice to make – practice criminal or family law
- She loved trial work and both offered the opportunity to regularly be in court and litigate
- She chose family law because it fit perfectly with one of her passions – she has been a Victim’s Advocate for the Federal Heights Police Department since law school
- Family law was the right choice for the many, many clients Gavin and Halligan LLC have helped over the years and for Gavin herself
- Family law offers 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
- Gavin loves the complexities of family law
- Especially when a case involves business interests of any kind
- 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 high assets
- The one thing to really know about Gavin?
- She “cares about every outcome and knows that it rests on our shoulders to get it right.” Halligan LLC embraces that philosophy
- Gavin ran for State Representative in 2016 but has shelved her political ambitions for the foreseeable future
- Instead of dealing with the myriad of issues swirling around anything political right now, Gavin spends her spare time traveling with her husband, Mike, and playing with their Maltipoo, Puppin
