Background

About Gavin Halligan

When I was growing up in Colorado, my parents had absolutely no doubt I'd be a lawyer. It was not a decision; it was a deduction. Apparently, I exhibited a strong sense of fairness and articulated it, loudly. Often.A continual refrain in the Halligan home:“It’s not fair!”“Save it for when you’re a judge.”I discovered a love of government – or, more accurately, the legislative process - at The Catholic University of America in Washington, D.C. Law school was next – University of Denver – where, as my parents predicted, I loved the law. I realized that, someday at least, I wanted to write laws as well.When I graduated, I made the tough choice between criminal or family law. I loved trial work and both offered the opportunity to regularly be in court and litigate, but I chose family law because it fit perfectly with one of my passions – I had 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 Halligan LLC has helped over the years. Family law offers me the chance to “fix things” and “make them right.”In other words, I'm doing what my parents told me to do, make things fair.
