James J Moloughney

I would highly recommend James Moloughney. He was considerate, caring and was great at guiding me through an emotionally tough relocation case. I trusted his judgment and was able to rely on him throughout the whole process. I will definitely refer him to all my friends and family. Couldn't have fou...nd a better lawyer to represent me.

I interviewed several family law attorneys before I met Mr Moloughney. I knew immediately that he was exceptional, and after more than 15 months of working together I appreciate him even more. Thanks to him, my divorce and custody dispute have been a transition instead of a tragedy. Other attorne...ys told me about typical divorce results and were immediately ready to begin litigation on my behalf. Jim listened to my story and helped me visualize a range of possible outcomes that seemed not merely survivable but truly livable. He was the only attorney who was ready with a whole range of responses and actions, of graduated intensity, carefully considered to minimize conflict and retain every possible option for a fair and reasonable settlement. Jim always worked for a quick and humane settlement of my case -- even when this meant fewer billable hours for him. Jim was never unprepared to seize an advantage but he never inflamed tempers either. He educated me when I was ignorant, calmed me when I was enraged, and eased my fears when I was anxious. Jim has helped me avoid becoming a victim of my own inevitable anger and bitterness. If I had acted on my own impulses I would have damaged my own case many times. Jim was always prompt to share expert advice which was always thoughtful and compassionate while at the same time being ruthlessly practical. I am not an expert in family law but I've worked with geniuses and pretenders alike in many other fields -- I swiftly recognized that Jim's expertise was profound. He has an intimate familiarity with the people and institutions concerned with family law in my county. He knows the way things are supposed to work, and they way they often work in real life. I was always well-informed about matters of law as well as the practical considerations involved in each stage of my divorce. Jim's basic professional talents and values are impeccable: fast, clear communication; reading comprehension skills which I found frankly astonishing; perfect organization; excellent command of a wide range of modern communication technologies. Jim dedicated himself not just to resolving my divorce, but to ensuring that I would have a good life to live on the other side of it. He was a teacher as much as an attorney to me, and I'm absolutely convinced that my life post-divorce will always be much better than it could ever have been without his help.
