This man is about his clients, not the paycheck

Mr. Eger was an amazing lawyer. He is not a yes man, he doesnt tell you what you want to hear but what you need to hear. He gets straight to the point with no bs to confuse the issues. I went through a nearly year long custody issue with my ex and her terrible excuse of lawyer. From the beginning he ...was professional and honest. He refused to allow the other attorney walk all over me, despite the others attempts to bleed me dry of money in order to win the case. He always put the needs of the client first, saving me time, money, and my ability to spend time with my children. Even after the case was settled, he still checks to make sure things are going well and that the orders are being followed. Would definitely recommend him to anyone and can't wait to put another retainer on him for the inevitable future.

you want him in your corner!

Any time you need legal guidance the level of stress and emotional toll are going to run high. I hold Jeff in high regard and truly appreciate how he helped me with my family court case. I can’t say he always told me what I wanted to hear , but what I can say is that he was reasonably priced, profess...ional, and extremely attentive and honest throughout the process. In the end , with his help I ended up getting results in a matter of weeks that I had Previously worked years to achieve without stepping foot into a court room. I would definitely recommend you reach out to him if you are in need of any legal help and he will give you his experienced opinion without sugar coating anything.

Skilled, honest, and enthusiastic lawyer! Diligent in fighting for his clients. Highly recommended!

I want to thank this man so much for helping my best friend and goddaughter. He was informative, patient, and kind. He would answer questions at any hour. Offered guidance, advice, and tough love when needed. Custody battles are emotional and difficult for everyone involved. He quickly developed a st...rategy for the situation and utilized everything necessary to acquire the best outcome. Can I just mention too how funny this man is and how much it helps when you’re going through something you cannot find humor in. I cannot imagine my friend finding anyone better suited for helping her. He is a gem and I am eternally grateful and recommend him. Thank you Jeff.

I trust Jeff with all my legal needs.

I can only say positive things about my experience working with Jeff. From the moment I met him, he put me at ease with his disarming sense of humor and calming demeanor. He is understanding, kind, caring, and extremely thorough in his approach. Jeff represented me in a very ugly divorce/custody ca...se. Jeff filed an emergency motion and got back ALL the money my husband had stole in our divorce. I was rewarded placement of the children and child support. Jeff also made it that I was NOT responsible for any of the debts my husband had created during our marriage. Honestly Jeff was a godsend. He was with me every step of the way. Jeff stepped in and stepped up without any hesitation and gave me courage, strength and hope when I had none left. I felt defeated and lost and Jeff gave me the confidence to stand up and defend myself. It was a very difficult time for me, yet somehow, he managed to make it less painful and got me and my children what we deserved. I will always be thankful for what Jeff did for me and my family. Jeff is my attorney for life!

Thank you! Your situation, involving the safety of your young children and money taken by your spouse, called for an emergency motion since irreparable harm could have resulted from not acting quickly. Another good reason for hiring a lawyer. I am so happy that you are onto your new life!
