Jack is the MAN!

I'll start off by repeating the title that Jack Is The Man! I couldn't have asked for better representation for finally being able to spend meaningful time with my son! Jack is a father himself, so he's exactly who you want as a father representing you if you feel unsure of what to do or where to tur...n. I had to wait far too long before Jack to get quality time with my child, but as soon as I hired Jack, things started to change rapidly for the better. Jack kept me informed of what to expect going into court, answered all questions I had, and I was never left in the dark or like my case didn't matter. Any issues or disagreements I had with the other party were handled quickly and fairly. Jack is also very transparent with payments and how all that works too, and will make sure you're informed so you don't feel like you're being overcharged or like he's just trying to make money off of you. I felt that everything was done fairly and I knew what to expect. Jack also has a very calm temperament about him, which is really good to have in court when you may feel stressed. I would not hesitate for a second to rehire him again if I needed him! Thank you so much Jack, I really appreciate all the help you and your team did for my family!

Transparency

I hired Jack & his team to help me divorce from someone who I hadn't spoken to in over a year & lived in another state. It was a process, but they were with me every step of the way & helped me get the results I wanted. I would definitely recommend working with Jack & wouldn't hesitate to hire him ag...ain should I ever require family law services in the future.

Excellent attorney to work with

I hired Jack Taggart, work with my primary attorney, Ashley Prince, on one portion of my custody case, and he immediately brought a sense of steadiness and reassurance. What stood out to me most was his calming, grounded presence, which created a sense of safety and allowed us to build rapport quick...ly. He got caught up to speed very quickly about my case. I also appreciated his swift communication, often replying within minutes, and even a couple times during after hours — this speaks volumes to me about his genuine care for his clients. He helped negotiate skillfully with the opposing party to secure the most favorable outcome possible. Though I currently work with my primary attorney for the remainder of my case, Jack has still been generous in answering my questions and guiding me from time to time. I wholeheartedly recommend him.

Jack Taggart’s help has been invaluable!

I contacted McIlveen at the start of a very sensitive and difficult family law matter and had my initial consultation with Jack Taggart, Senior Associate in the firm. From the beginning he was very attentive, listening carefully and taking detailed notes. His knowledge of family law is impressive and... his council wise and well grounded. He prepared meticulously for the hearing and when the day came he put on an absolute master-class in the courtroom, outmaneuvering the opposing counsel at every turn! His skill and expertise was integral in the favorable outcome I achieved and beyond that he was able to prevent the need for testimony from any other members of the family, which was beyond any of my expectations. I give God the glory for the outcome and Jack was the conduit through which He worked and I couldn’t be happier with the assistance Jack provided. If you are in need of assistance in family law matters you would be well served to retain Jack for your needs

"I have had the unique opportunity to work with Jack both as opposing counsel and now as co-counsel at our firm, which gives me a rare and well-rounded perspective on his practice. In both roles, Jack has consistently demonstrated integrity, honesty, and professionalism. As opposing counsel, Jack was always prepared, thoughtful, and solutions-oriented. He advocated zealously for his clients while maintaining a level of respect and professionalism that is not always common in high-conflict matters. Now, working alongside him, I see that same dedication from a different vantage point—he is collaborative, strategic, and deeply committed to achieving the best possible outcomes for his clients. Jack has a natural ability to strike the right balance between being warm and approachable while remaining firm and effective in his advocacy. Clients trust him because he is not only knowledgeable and skilled, but also genuinely cares about their well-being. I would highly recommend Jack!"
