Client Focused & Talented

Jay Seigel was the perfect lawyer for our family because he's a tough lawyer and a good listener. His legal advice was always based on realistic outcomes, even if it wasn't exactly what we wanted to hear. However, his legal counsel took into consideration the route we wanted to take and he represente...d us in a way that showed just how knowledgeable and capable he is. Jay was always there to give us realistic expectations but at the same time listen to what we had to say. Jay's tenacity and litigation skills in the courtroom were extremely impressive and he was able to get us the outcome we were looking for. Jay is a rare find, a talented and personable lawyer that is easy to work with, and we feel fortunate to have found him.

Divorce hearing

I was privileged to watch Jay Seigel represent my daughter contesting a motion made by her husband. We were both nervous but he told us about possibllities and assured us he would do his best to achieve the best outcome. I was so impressed by how he presented the case and how he fought to get the bes...t results for my daughter. I would highly recommend him. He is compassionate and professional

Genuine, Detailed and Tenacious!!

Hiring Mr. Seigel for our legal counsel was the best decision we could've made. From the very start, he listened intently to our problem, was sympathetic, and then his legal mastermind sprang into action to form a plan of recovery. He's smart, witty and diligent. He never once failed to amaze us w...ith his confidence at getting our justice. Extremely skilled attorney! So glad he's on our side, not the opposing one.

I have watched him prepare for trial, deliver legally succinct, impactful, and effective arguments. I observed him cross examine opposing parties making the squirm on the stand and fumble over their words. I got the privilege to watch ecstatic clients embrace him thanking him for unbelievably favorable outcomes he helped them obtain. Not only is he an extremely effective attorney, he is one of the most highly ethical and scrupulous attorneys I have had the privilege to work with."

"I have had the pleasure of knowing Attorney Seigel for over a year in his practice of family law. Attorney Seigel is consistently well prepared in the representation of his clients for hearings, mediations, and trials. He utilizes critical thinking in his analysis of cases while approaching cases with practicality based upon the facts of the case. He makes reasonable attempts to settle a case before seeking judicial intervention. I endorse Attorney Seigel in the area of family law."
