Attorney Maughan is the best there is...

Attorney Maughan has guided me through the emotional process of child custody with professional wisdom and knowledge. She is able to quickly sort through the facts of the case and is conscience of not wasting her client's time nor money. There is excellent communication both from Ms. Maughan, as well... as from her office staff. I have felt empowered by having Attorney Maughan represent me, and I highly recommend her to anyone needing legal assistance in Monroe County.

Wonderful attorney!!!

A friend recommended Jane for my divorce from a long-term marriage with minor children. I was in shock from the separation and did not know what to expect from the process. My fears were eased immediately upon meeting with Jane. She explained the process, telling me what to expect. She was patien...t with me but did not let me waste time or get ahead of myself. Throughout the divorce, she has been calm, caring, incredibly competent, thorough and thoughtful. She cares not only about me but about my children's well-being. Every time an upsetting issues has come up, Jane has been able to calm me down with her knowledge, experience, and compassion. I am so grateful for her support and recommend her highly.

Best Divorce Attorney in Monroe County !!!!

Divorce is never a easy transition but Mrs Maughan made it as easy as possible. She is straight forward, knowledgeable and listens to your concerns . I believe she honestly loves what she does and always looking out for her clients best interest. She always answered phone calls , e-mails etc. in a ...timely matter which anyone in a legal matter knows how important that is. She is on top of her game and I always felt confident with her legal advice. I highly recommend her!!!!!

5 star rating for Jane Roach Maughan

Ive had more than my fair share of child custody issues, and more than my fair share of incompetent legal advice. Jane Roach Maughan was the end of those problems for me. I would highly reccomnd her as attorney. Not only for her excellence and professionalism in the court room, but for her warm and ...friendly nature as a human being as well.

Jane Roach Maughan

I worked with Jane Roach Maughan and could not have been happier with her services. The review points on this site actually say it all; she was trustworthy, responsive, extremely knowledgeable, and kept me closely informed at each stage of our process. I was a bit outside of Jane's region, but that... didn't stop me from hiring her, nor did it stop her from acting on my behalf with excellence and energy. I would recommend Jane Roach Maughan to anyone -- she knows the law and the PA legal community like no one else, and absolutely gets results.
