A calming hand during a tumultuous time

I was referred to Mrs Egan through a childhood friend. I could not thank him enough. The Egan Law Firm became an extended family during a very difficult time. My marriage was over, my children and I thrust into emotional upheaval leading to economic uncertainty and custody concerns. Throughout ...the lengthy process, Judy was there. She provided more than consultation but compassion and understanding as my situation was difficult. She asked me what my goals were and she achieved everyone. She understood my constraints and worked within them to be the force my family needed so that we could begin our new life. Judy fought for me, she stood up for me and my children and when the ambulance chasing opposing counsel went low, Judy fought harder. The Egan Law Firm, Judy and her staff were amazing. They enabled me to remain confident, secured my financial picture and kept my children where they belong and on the right schedule. They understand the difficulties of divorce and trauma that ensues. I am grateful for the referral and I hope you will be too. BTW: The Egan Law Firm is also establishing my family trust as I move into the next chapter of life. Their integrity and commitment to their clients is commendable.

Excellent prep, to even off the playing field,

Face it, Divorce is not easy or fun, what should be easy, sometimes does not happen, but when chips are down, it is comforting to know Judy and her staff will equal off the playing field, she knew every aspect for the courts, what they needed, what I needed to know, how are we going to get the best o...utcome for her client (me), and try to resolve on easy to understand language. Divorce, there are no winners, and sometimes you might have to pay, but like I said above, its nice to have a level playing field when it may go south, Also Judy now is a mediator to resolve simple agreements and resolve on a amicable divorce, which should always be tried before going to court for trial, I am happy I was steered in Judiths direction. Thank you Judy, and your excellent staff for all the time and effort place upon my Divorce. all your hard work was a positive , on a somewhat negative situation.

Smart, Experienced and a Good Problem Solver

Judy is smart and experienced with a direct and straight forward style that kept me calm during a very emotional process. She is patient and always took the time to explain the complexities of the divorce process and the law. Judy listened to me, and understood this was my divorce--that what was the... usual one size fits all solution would not work for me and my children. And because she listened- and is smart and very experienced--she crafted a settlement offer that was clever and creative and that gave me what I most wanted, while protecting all my interests. I was very well represented by Judy Egan and I am very happy with the result.

Divorce Modification

Judy was wonderful. She explained everything and was very knowledgeable. Her office is very helpful and worked with me in a very timely manor. My case took longer than I had expected but not due to Judy but the other party was very difficult to get information from. Her assistant was very sweet and a...lso very helpful. I would recommend Judy's office and associates to work with anytime. I could not have done what I needed to be done alone and I was very happy with the outcome. I would recommend Judy because of her vast experience, professionalism and knowledge.

Judy Egan

Judith has been helping me with the horrors of a high conflict post divorce battle for 3 years now. She is kind, tough, loving, honest, sensible, and practical. She has an excellent reputation in the courts and I couldn't do this without her.
