Professional, Well-organized, Empathetic

Tim Colgan was incredibly professional, well-organized, and empathetic. This was my first time hiring a lawyer and after our initial consultation, I knew immediately that he was the lawyer I wanted to hire. Like another reviewer said, he is empowering to clients and he listens empathetically to their... concerns. (I talked to other lawyers who were telling me what to do, rather than listening.) He explained legal jargon clearly and thoroughly. Even though the process was delayed in court, he gave me regular updates. My divorce is finalized and I could not be happier with Tim Colgan and the team at Colgan and Associates.

Expert and empowering

I have made it through most of my life not needing to hire a lawyer. So when it came time for me to file for divorce, I had no experience with choosing the best fit for legal representation I shopped around and was led through referrals at the Second Saturday divorce seminar to Tim Colgan of Colgan ...and Associates. By the end of our 30 minute phone consultation I knew this was the person I wanted to retain to represent me. Throughout the entire process, I found Tim Colgan to be exactly what I needed in an attorney: expert, insightful, clear- speaking, efficient, empowering, and fair.. I am now all the way through my legal process and have reached the goal of a finalized divorce. Tim navigated me through it all, even during the pandemic when the court system was slowed to almost a dead stop. I recommend Tim Colgan to anyone who needs the qualities which I have described. I am grateful as well to the team at Colgan and Associates who were clear and helpful throughout the process.

Fully Recommended

I consulted and hired an attorney at Colgan & Associates regarding a citation that I had received. When the original attorney that I was working with moved on from the field, Tim stepped in and took over my case with no problem. I am extremely grateful for Tim’s help and guidance. He responded quickl...y to all calls and emails. He gave a realistic expectation for the court hearing, and answered every single question I had, making me feel much more at ease about the situation. The day of the hearing, he represented me in a professional and successful manor. I could not be more pleased with Tim’s work, and would full recommend him!

Excellent!!!!

From day one until the last day of my legal emotional situation, Tim showed efficiency, communication, understanding, knowledge and professionalism. I felt at ease and knew my case was being handled with complete confidence with him and his staff. I would most highly recommend him in divorce/suppor...t situations.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • 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.
