Posted by anonymous | March 25, 2020 | Hired Attorney | Divorce & Separation

If I could give more than 5 stars I would! Personable,

Jacque is an attorney you want on your side when your going through a divorce. Jacque and her team helped guide me through one of the most emotionally draining experience of my life. Her and her staff were gracious and professional. She knew exactly what to do and I could not be happier with the outc...ome. She was always available when I needed her professional advice and I always felt like she listened to me. She isn’t just another typical lawyer. She is a fearless and will stand up for you and get the job done. I don't know what I would of done without her. I highly recommend her and her team.

Our Attorney for Over Six Years

I met Jacqueline McMahon over six years ago during a very volatile separation from my former spouse. She was caring, confident, and aggressive when necessary. She advised me in her areas of expertise and referred me to experts when I needed them in other areas. When I remarried, Jacque became my ...husband's attorney, as well. On more than one occasion, she went far beyond the call of duty. Most importantly, she cared about us as people, not just clients. Jacque is articulate, intelligent, and experienced. I would recommend her, and have several times, to any person needing her services.

  • 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.
