What my clients say

"Dear Nelligan Team,

Needless to say how happy and satisfied I am with your services. What I thought was a small and seamless transaction almost ended up in a nightmare. You were all an important ingredient to the overall positive result. I will certainly continue to refer Nelligan Law to all."

I wanted to send you a quick note to thank you for setting us up with Jake and Carole -- they were absolutely fabulous - everything went very smoothly without any gliches and we really appreciated the way they looked after us - its been a while since we have done this.
