James Hagney Esq. is not the Attorney for you unless you have big $$$$$$$$$

Mr Hagney represented me in a Court. After giving a sizeable Retainer, Mr. Hagney was calling for more money. He entered into things without me knowing and kept billing me. I had noticed my balance was never decreasing even though I paid. Mr Hagney'. Be careful because your case can be pushed off ...to an inexperienced Associate, while you pay $450.00 an hour for an experienced Attorney..Sorry but for that fee I want a knowledgable Attorney that communicates with their Client.

Professional and confident

James currently represents me in my separation/Divorce and custody matter. He is professional, compassionate, straight forward, smart, and confident. I've worked with other attorneys and was left in debt with little to no results. His assistant Jennifer is wonderful and insightful when James is no...t available. She is prompt in returning my calls, and puts my mind at ease with her ability to answer questions or update me. His fees are fair. I highly recommend James Hagney.

James Hagney

James handled my divorce with expediency and professionalism. It did not take him long to reach a settlement with my ex husband and I was very satisfied. I am using him again without hesitation.

Nasty Little Man

Absolutely heinous. Did nothing in 2 years but take $18,000. Then he quit--he just didn't tell me. He simply did not answer any calls or do any more work. It is not easy for them to fire you so he made me fire him. Left me with no choice. No conscience, no morals. Go somewhere else or do it yo...urself. I did better in 6 months on my own than I did in years with a lawyer.

  • 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.
