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.

Efficient and caring attorney

Attorney Egan handled my divorce with care, compassion, and efficiency. I never had to worry about something I might have missed or misunderstood, because Attorney Egan was right on top of everything all the way. In addition, she really cared about me and made sure that my case was resolved with th...e best possible result for me. Her team was excellent too. Divorce is a difficult process, but Attorney Egan is the best choice to make it as smooth as possible.

An attorney that gets the job done effectively and with compassion.

Judy was the best choice for an attorney that I could have ever made. She came highly recommended and lived up completely to that reputation. Judy is very knowledgeable and has the experience to help guide her clients through a very painful process. Her patience with all my questions and helping m...e to understand the ramifications of decisions was remarkable. She would walk me through the pros and cons and ensure that I was comfortable with the steps were were taking. She is very well known and respected by her peers and in my case, by the Court System in Cambridge. In my opinion, that made a big difference in my outcome. Equally as important is her staff. Lauren was outstanding in her own right and was very responsive and always helpful. The same is true for her office Manager, Rosemary. My divorce was especially difficult, but Judy and her team did their best and I was very pleased with the results. I would recommend Judy without hesitation.
