Knowledgeable, Personalized Service

I was referred to Jay Haggerty by a co-worker. She said he was very knowledgeable, helpful, and an all around great guy. She was right! I was able to complete my business over the phone directly with Jay for a very reasonable charge. He walked me through my options and answered all my questions i...n a way that a lay person could understand. I highly recommend.

Very helpful

He was very helpful in handling the estate of my estranged father. Kept in touch by phone and email and advised my brother and myself with decisions we had to make.

Attorney

Jay Haggerty drew up our Last Will and Testsments, Power of Attorney for Financial and Health and our Living Wills. He answered all of our questions and was very down to Earth and took his time with us.

Great Lawyer

Jay had a consultation with me and I new that he was the lawyer I wanted and needed. Jay and his complete staff went way above and beyond to help us. I could not have found anyone better. Jay gave me his legal opinion and recommendations and was absolutely correct every time. Once decisions were mad...e he handled everything for that point plus some.

OK

Jay has done a wonderful job. I wish I did not need an attorney, but I am glad I did hire Jay. You leave a message, he gets back to you in a timely fashion. Jay is very good at what he does. He listens to your concerns and acts on them. He makes sure your needs are met and goes beyond. I would recomm...end him very highly.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
