An AMAZING MAN and the BEST ATTORNEY in Kern County

George has fought for us to keep our family together he has been with us since the birth of our baby and continues to fight for us George makes sure that we understand what is going on with our case and stays connected with us so we have no worries or doubts. George knows his clients and his cases be...fore he goes before the judge and truly fights for the best interest of his clients and their families while making you feel like you're apart of his family. April his paralegal has become a very close friend of ours as she too truly cares about her clients.

BEST LAWYER IN THE BUSINESS!!!

I retained George Horrigan in 2005, This was the best decision in the world. EVERY TIME I had a question he was quick to call me back. George and his staff are true professionals!! In 2005 I thought I was hiring a lawyer to help me in a TOUGH time, turns out I did, what I didn't know at the time was... I also hired a friend, someone who truly cares about my family!! Mr Horrigan went from a stranger on the streets to my family's hero. A true Hero. I was never alone in this long process, Mr Horrigan was with me every step of the way. Even when my case went to the appeals court Mr Horrigan was always a phone call away. If you are reading this in hopes of finding an attorney you can trust, Give Mr Horrigan a call. I promise you will not find a better lawyer.

Extremley pleased!

George Horrigan came highly recommended to me and I am glad I decided to retain him. My case went to trial and I felt very comfortable and at ease knowing Mr. Horrigan was representing me. The Judge ended up ruling in my favor and I could not have been happier with the results. I would definitely ...recommend Mr. Horrigan to anyone looking for an experienced family law attorney.

UNPROFESSIONAL, UNPROFESSIONAL, UNPROFESSIONAL - Less than 1 Star

From the first phone consultation to the separation from Mr. Horrigan as a client, he and his entire staff have been nothing but unprofessional. He presents himself as bully - which is entirely true - sadly he isn't picky about who he chooses to bully. Clients included. His staff is unhelpful, UN-kno...wledgeable and they do not return phone calls. His paralegal failed to properly submit my paperwork, which she claimed was due to my not having provided proper information, however a secondary paralegal in the same office was able to submit the EXACT same paper work with no problems - nearly 2 months later. This resulted in a rescheduled court date, of which I was not notified and would not have known if I hadn't called myself to follow up the day before. Additionally, I attempted to contact paralegal #1 for over 2 weeks with no success before, upon my demand, they forwarded my paperwork to paralegal #2. During which time the receptionist would take my name, number, and would assure me a call back that I would never receive. On my (second) court date which was scheduled to start at 8:30, I did not see or hear from Mr. Horrigan until 9:25. I sat in a courtroom with no visible representation for nearly an hour before he showed up. I found out the day after that his receptionist EMAILED me while I was in the courtroom to tell me that he was looking for me. No phone call, no text. An email. IN COURT, while under extreme stress stemming from a year and half long battle over my divorce and trying to make the best decision possible for my family (children) Mr. Horrigan accused me of hiding things, called me passive aggressive, told me that he felt like he was fighting me, told me that I was unable to make good decisions, threatened to remove himself from my case, yelled at me outside of the courtroom, demanded that I stop raising my voice at him (all the while he is pointing and continuing to yell in my face) chastised me in the courtroom in front of the judge, my ex and his attorney, and ultimately removed himself as council. That decision was actually made very loudly and publicly in the hallway after I refused to let him bully me into make a choice that I was more uncomfortable with that the one that I ultimately made in mediation. The only good thing that I can say is that he quickly refunded my entire retainer BUT even that was not without it's problems as Mr. Horrigan moved his offices - something his receptionist failed to mention. So I went to the office I knew, on my lunch hour, only to be redirected to a new location. I do not respect nor do I recommend Mr. Horrigan in any way. He took an absolutely terrible situation and etched it into my brain as one of the most embarrassing, horrific, days of my life.

Piece of Mind

I hired Gorge based on a referral from a friend, the best family law attorney in Kern County! The best decision a person could make! Always knew what, when and who. Not one trip to the court room. After 4 months, done! Thank you George
