Egan Law equals Great Attorneys

Judy Egan and Egan Law Offices have attorneys that I would highly recommend. I worked with Attorney Judy Egan. In my experience, Judy took the time to review my case, listen to all of my questions, and help me to understand what we could and could not ask for in court. Judy did an excellent job ...representing my interests and helped me achieve every outcome I was seeking. Throughout the entire process she quickly responded to all of my emails, phone calls, and setup meetings to make sure I understood every step of the process. Judy is an extremely thorough attorney and I am so pleased and honored to have had her represent me.

Legal Guardian Angel

Judy is the woman you want by your side. She is tenacious, empathetic, knowledgeable, and fights like hell for her clients. I hired Judy for a modification and felt instantly relieved to know I had someone I could count on for strong and sound legal guidance and support in what oftentimes seemed like... uncharted or challenging territory. Judy knows the law inside and out and uses her skills, intelligence, and insight to protect her clients. She was incredibly prepared for my case and made sure I understood all the elements and possible outcomes--good or bad--of my modification. This empowered to make informed decisions about how I wanted to proceed. Judy is a force. She is the only lawyer I recommend to people.

Couldn't have asked for a better attorney...

My divorce has been a circus, and it isn't even over yet, but Judy has been nothing short of an angel for me. I found her on this site and fate handed me a miracle when I needed one desperately. Her experience and knowledge are amazing and her integrity above reproach. Everyone in her office has b...een fantastic, and I can't say enough good things about Judith, her associates, and staff. She has fought for me as though she is fighting for herself and no one can ask more than that. She has listened to me scream and cry and every emotion a person can go through with empathy and patience. I honestly feel like I have found a friend, not just an outstanding attorney. If you find yourself in the situation of needing a divorce attorney, I am sorry for what you are going through, but you cannot do better than Judith Ann Egan.

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.
