Posted by Cathy | March 18, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Divorce & Separation

DILIGENT / WELL VERSED / PREPARED

I hired Jacque in a very stressful dissolution of marriage case. Opposing counsel was very volatile, made the case very personal, and lost track of the best interest of his client. Jacque not only stepped in and kept this case on track but my ex-husband was able to see that his attorney lost touch ...with what the best interests of the parties and the estate were. This case could have gotten much uglier and it was certainly far more litigious than it needed to be; however, with the expertise, diligence, and preparedness of Jacque we were able to come to a fair and equitable solution. I would recommend her without hesitation.

Posted by Cary | October 12, 2015 | Hired Attorney | Real Estate

Real estate law, construction law, general law

Ms. McaMahon is in a premium class not shared by too many attorneys. She is genuine and one of the hardest working individuals I have ever had the privilege to know. Jacqueline displays the utmost respect for her clients and their needs. She is extremely well versed in many aspects of law and we ...have used her expertise on multiple occasions over the past 10 years. Each time she achieved a successful and agreeable conclusion for our matters in real estate and construction law. We are highly impressed with her and will be returning to her to assist with our family planning matters and any other future legal matters that arise. Without a doubt, or any hesitation, we will continue to refer anyone needing an attorney that sets the bar high to Ms. McMahon.

Posted by Judy | February 29, 2012 | Alimony

Motion for Contempt

Jacque is a caring, and ardent attorney. I was immediately impressed with her professionalism, and expertise with my ex husband's failure to pay his alimony, despite the fact that I hired her to take over my case from another lawyer. Jacque's writing skills are second to none. She has the ability to... tie all the facts into a complete package complete with ribbon and bow! I appreciate her compassion for me as individual as well as knowledge of the law as it pertains to my case.
