Melissa V.

I hired this law firm in December 2017 to assist me with a difficult divorce. Mrs. Hogan was fierce and represented myself and my children phenomenally. She fought for us to receive great child support and alimony within the first two months of my case. I am so grateful for her hard work in gettin...g us what we needed to live.

Moira did a great job for me

Unbelievable! Moira Hogan did a fantastic job for me in court. I cannot express my gratitude enough for the amazing job she and her staff did for me. The first attorney I interviewed was an experienced lady who said I would totally lose custody of my daughter. Everyone else said I was going to lose e...verything to my ex-lover of 10 years, including my daughter. But Moira saved us! She really did. I ended up with 95% timeshare, in my favor!! I got the business, the income assets, and now, my big league ex even has to pay me support! I love the result. Thanks again, Moira and staff. You are beyond amazing! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

A job well done. Thank you so much.

At court, Moira is unbelievable. I highly recommend her to anyone with a diffucult ex. She gave me the best advice and she blew away my ex's attorney. My first attorney said i was toast. Moira beleived in me and knew how to win a hard case. I got support, the house and the brokerage account. M...y first attorney said i couldn't win anything and that my ex would get everything. Most important, i got 90% custody of the kids. Now its my ex who is toast. Ha ha! All that and Moira's bill was way less than my first attorney. I will absolutely use her again if I ever need help.

Caring, aggressive, & fair-Moira is the best attorney in town!

The best attorney in town. Moira runs circles around big shot opposing attorneys! I used Moira for my divorce and my ex had a high priced lawyer from a bigger firm that he claimed was the Perry Mason of family court. He paid more than twice what I did and I got full custody, amazing support and AL...L the property because he tried to hide one of our bank accounts. I can't say enough good things about Moira! Thank you!

Best Family Lawyer in Town!

Don't pay any attention to the other reviews of this lawyer. I don't believe that they are from real clients! Moira Hogan is the best Divorce/ Child Custody lawyer in town. I had used this lawyer for business matters (business contract litigation/ employment/ tax problems) but did not realize that sh...e handles divorce, as well. I tried several family lawyers before I found her and was sorely diassappointed with every one of them. She is responsive, detail oriented and provides great customer service. She focuses in on issues that the other attorneys all missed - and those were all issues that were worth a lot of money to me. She made a huge difference in my child custody time, as well. You are crazy to use anyone else. I agree that there are cheaper lawyers, but do you want to save a little money or do you want to win?

Relationship: Co-worker

"I have known Moira Hogan for many years and in my experience, she gives each client that special personal attention that comes only from someone who really cares about you. But, she is so much more than a nice and caring attorney. On the flip side, she is a real fighter and she is among the best courtroom advocates you will find anywhere. Moira is not afraid of any other attorney, no matter how aggressive. Moira prides herself in taking on the most experienced opposing attorneys and/or the most aggressive opponents. For those cases where a client needs an especially aggressive advocate, Moira is willing to go the distance, in order to tip the balance of power back to your side. Moira is an excellent Family Law attorney and she fights as much for the children as for the parent she is representing. As a Certified Family Law Specialist, I know that she has the experience and the knowledge to handle divorce, custody, support, restraining orders and other Family Court issues competentl"

Relationship: Supervised lawyer

"Moira Hogan is an excellent trial lawyer, and in my opinion, she is among the best lawyers anywhere. She is an expert on evidence, witness examination and cross-examination. She writes excellent briefs and is an amazing negotiator. As a case progresses, she develops a sixth sense for how to approach the case and knows whether it is best settled or should be tried. I wholeheartedly endorse her as among the most talented lawyers in the State of California. If I needed a Family lawyer for any reason, I would personally ask for her assistance over any other attorney I have ever known."
