Timothy J. Colgan

I never wanted a divorce but did many things to bring it about. From my first meeting with Tim, at a time of hopelessness and despair, I felt a sense of confidence that I was and would be well represented. He explained the entire system to me in that first meeting, and everything he told me proved ...to be accurate. I had few equities in my favor, but that never deterred Tim from providing faithful and, when necessary, spirited representation in response to my wife's attorney, who is herself known for her aggressiveness in representing wives. He counseled me to fight over what was worth fighting over and to concede what was unwinnable, but even then not without a concession from the other side. He trusted me on financial matters and did his best not to run up the bill. He expressed empathy for me even when my position was not sympathetic. In our meetings and phone calls, he got down to business and didn't waste time, but he never failed to spend time when necessary to get things right. I am an attorney myself, but a modestly paid government attorney. I understand the law and the system, and Tim Colgan did the very best job possible in my case, given the facts he had to work with and the system he had to work in. As a result, I came through a late-in-life divorce with a sense of dignity and the knowledge that I (and my ex-wife as well) will have enough to live on. He observed the very highest traditions of ethical legal representation, and that is the highest praise I can give him.

Working with Tim through one of the toughest times in my life was one of the best decisions I could have made. He made me feel very comfortable from the very first meeting and every step of the way. He truly seemed to support my thoughts and concerns during my divorce/custody case. He was extremely e...asy to talk to and understand. Thoroughly explained all parts of the process and made it easy to follow. He was overly prepared during the face to face meetings with myself and the other side/mediators. I am so thankful to have had Tim on my side. I would highly recommend him to anyone with any family challenges in life. Thank you Tim!!

Where do you start when faced with divorce? After the first consultation, I knew that Tim was the right lawyer to see me through the unknown. After meeting for the first time, I felt like a life long friend was helping me through this difficult time. Tim took the time to explain everything in deta...il, sometimes more than once. Tim was always more prepared than the opposing counsel. I would definitely recommend Colgan & Associates!

I found Tim Colgan by chance. My ex-wife moved with our three children from South PA/Maryland line 80 miles away into central PA. I needed a PA lawyer quickly. I saw a well designed looking website for Colgan and Associates so I called and was directed to Tim Colgan. Tim explained the process of PA l...aw and the steps we needed to do for our case. This was the beginning of a very long journey thru custody battles, child support hearings, and general legal matters. Tim throughout was extremely helpful in guiding me thru the legal riggers and a person who could talk me down when the emotions of a broken family would run high. Tim would listen to what I wanted to do, then he would take that and respond with why or why not it could work within the legal process. Tim will give you his suggestions (incorporating my wishes) and discuss the most likely ruling from the court. Tim would form a plan that would give us the best chance for a favorable ruling. Almost always the outcome was what we expected. I have found Tim Colgan and his staff to be very professional. Tim is also honest he will tell it to you straight even if it stings and for me that is all I can ask for straight up and honest. I would recommend Tim Colgan to my family and friends for all legal advice. Tim Colgan is my PA lawyer.

I hired Tim to help me deal with a custody hearing that never made it to trial mostly because of Tim's expertise. He was so great, I can't say it enough. I was so nervous about the uncertainty of the situation but he calmed those nerves almost immediately. He achieved the exact outcome I wanted. I... would highly recommend hiring Tim for anything dealing with children. Compassionate and knowledgeable. His competitive spirit will shine through and he will fight for you. You're the man Tim!
