Judy is a rockstar of an attorney!

When it was obvious that my marriage was at an end, I retained Judy’s counsel on the advice of another friend who was going through the process. Judy has been practicing in family law her entire legal career and it shows in her level of expertise and experience. On the first four-way call with my... spouse and her counsel, Judy demonstrated her command of divorce law and basically wiped the floor (in a polite way) with the opposing counsel. Apparently, my spouse felt the same way and promptly hired a new attorney. Fortunately, my spouse was amicable, and we agreed to the terms of the separation. Her new attorney wrote up a first draft of the Agreement and after review, Judy felt the Agreement was too vague and poorly written, so she basically rewrote the whole thing. Judy also took the time to review the Agreement with me line by line and ensured that I was very clear on the more salient terms and legal jargon. The overall process went smoothly, and Judy made sure to inform me of the process and communicated strategy the whole time. She was very accessible and responsive whenever I had a question. My only regret in working with Judy is that I didn’t heed her sage counsel early on hoping that I could somehow save the marriage. Additionally, as a favor to me and because she has a high degree of empathy, Judy agreed to speak with my sister regarding her divorce which is a nightmare. My sister was so impressed with Judy that she tried to retain her, however Judy explained that sometimes it’s best not to make a change when three years into the process with other counsel. Lastly, while Judy is a rockstar, she has a great band working with/for her. Everyone I interacted with at Egan law was highly talented and capable in their roll. The process of divorce is very difficult and painful and I thank God that was able to retain Judy’s representation.

Experience and Care!

Judy and her team are really wonderful. These words come to mind: Experience, Knowledge, Effective, No-Nonsense, and also CARING. I believe Judy truly cared about me and my case. I am very grateful for the service and attention that I received during my divorce which the other side chose to make u...nnecessarily adversarial, aggressive, and prolonged. Having Judy and her team in my corner made a big difference. Thank you!

Ms

Judith Egan is a very competent attorney, well-versed in divorce law. She is totally committed to her clients and seeks reasonable resolutions. Judith is a very sensitive, calming, and caring person. Her support helped me make it through a very difficult time.

Divorce

Judy and her staff were great to work with and helped handle a very difficult and complex divorce case after a previous attorney was not able to handle it. She was honest and compassionate yet still tenacious and worked hard to finally bring a close to a terrible chapter in my life and get the best d...eal possible. I would recommend her to others in similar situations.

A True Professional

I used Egan Law Offices for my divorce many years ago. This was a difficult time in my life and Judy provided the experience I needed to reach a settlement that provided for my son and I. Recently I retained her services again to resolve long standing arrears due to me. Judy, once again, helped me... resolve this matter even with many obstacles in the way. She is a true professional, dedicated to her clients and the only attorney I would recommend to anyone faces these same challenges.
