George went above and beyond for my daughter and I to protect us for my ex and protect my daughter from him. I could not say more great things about this man. He is truly an amazing lawyer. He has an amazing staff.

Will never trust anyone else!

I hired George in 2014 for my Divorce and it was smooth and finalized in 7 months. I hired him again in 2017 for a grandparent visitation case, and he is so knowledgeable and never gives you false hope. He is always straight forward and will never steer you wrong. I trust him with all of my family la...w cases and will never trust anyone else. He is very intimidating in the courtroom And comforting to know he is very respected. He is very knowledgeable about all the laws and does his homework. I trust all of his staff and they are very prompt in answering the phones and emails. They are very busy but George looks you in the eyes and gives you time to ask all the questions you may have. I have retained him again for an upcoming child custody case and I know he will do amazing things and always does the right things. I will never trust another attorney, he is truly the BEST!

Great Lawyer

I retained George Horrigan in September 2016, from the start he was very up front about what was realistic for the outcome of my case (grandparent visitation case) He never gave me false hope, and read all the facts, did his research before advising anything.. I 100% trusted him and two years of goin...g to court I got the ruling in my favor. So appreciative of all all the hard work from his & his paralegal! Money well spent!!

The Best!!!!

Mr. Horrigan is straight forward, tells it like it is, and doesn’t beat around the bush. If you want an attorney that everyone respects and knows he means business then Mr. Horrigan is your man. When I first met with him it was in the hallway of the courthouse and he sat with me and explained to me w...hat I need to do. I went in asked the judge for a Continuance, the judge granted it and I retained Mr. Horrigan and it was all uphill from there. If I could give Mr. Horrigan a higher rating I would I can not thank him and his paralegal enough they make a fantastic team!!!

  • 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.
