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!

Knowledgeable helpful caring

Jeff Eger helped me immensely while I was going through a difficult and contested divorce in 2013. He helped me organize my thoughts, make lists of important information that was crucial in my battle, helped me to stay calm in order to get the results I was seeking. He was able to solidify special re...quirements I was making for uneasy visitations with my children’s father. He made suggestions that I fight for (acceptable accommodations, required communications while my kids were with him, and much more.) He wouldn’t take anything less and was a master at negotiating my case. I would highly recommend him!

Divorce is tough when people cannot agree on division of property and kids. It's a big change for everyone and Family Court is not always fun. I was very happy to help and see you get to a better place for you and the kids! Thank you for your kind review!

Informative, Trustworthy and Dependable Attorney

I hired Attorney Eger to handle various custody issues for me. He was attentive and focused to my child's needs. He went the extra mile to obtain the results for my child. He was very sensitive to the emotional and financial toll this took on me and went above and beyond to ensure the best results.... EXCELLENT ATTORNEY! I would highly recommend to everyone.

Dependable, Knowledgeable and Effective

Attorney Eger was very dependable and effective in my divorce that involved my 3 children, the house, alimony and child support. His knowledge and experience was instrumental in settling what I thought was going to be a very contested divorce.

  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
