Stop looking and Hire this Man. Value of Epic Proportions

At first, I was skeptical about finding the right lawyer for my case. However, from the moment I met James Hagan, all my doubts vanished. James's profound knowledge, exceptional ability, and unwavering confidence reassured me at every turn. My case was particularly difficult and extremely stressfu...l.

Vastly knowledgeable and generous with his time

James is absolutely the best attorney I have ever met. He has an innate understanding of justice, he cares but doesn’t get emotional, he has a laser sharp understanding of law procedure and process, and he is your best asset to serve your legal needs. The best!

Highly recommended attorney

James is an amazing attorney. He helped me get full custody of my two boys after not being able to see them for over two months. I highly recommend him to anyone going through a divorce or custody battle.

Experienced & Assertive Counsel

I was referred to Mr. James A. Hagan by a friend. He and his staff has been literally godsent to our family by providing discerning logic and sound counsel on a complex family law case. He really listened to me and got the important elements of my case that needed to be brought forward before the ...courts. This may sound typical or normal for attorney client relationship but his manner in conveying back to me what was important and what was not set me at ease and delivered the results I had hoped for. A true client advocate with a measured hand of reasonableness that resulted in a good outcome for me and my family. I would recommend Mr. Hagan and his seasoned staff to anyone facing the challenge of navigating family court.

Caution

While he comes across professionally and knowledgeable when you are hiring him he barely prepares for court, looks extremely disorganized with his paperwork and frankly I could not even tell you what value he provided other then showing up at court and acted like a nasty and harsh person. This was th...e first attorney I ever had to hire for a personal matter and wow did I learn my lesson! My advice to you is don't believe his BS sincerity and tough talk up front, Mr. Hagan will take every penny he can from you with terrible outcomes from he first tells you!
