The Right Woman for the job!

I was fortunate to find Jane Maughan via this site several years ago and never looked back. Jane represented me on various family court matters with all favorable outcomes. Jane has proven to be knowledgeable and prepared in her professional capacity. She is able to make one feel at ease at a crucial... time when you feel uncertain of your future. I also witnessed the respect and legitimacy of her reputation among her colleagues and the system in which she practices. Jane takes the time and effort to make sure that you are fully versed and informed with the process to make an informed decision. Jane Maughan is the attorney you want in your corner when you find yourself in need of proper representation. She gets results with her extensive experience, integrity and grace.

Fabulous brilliant attorney

Jane Maughan is a tough, ethical, honest, caring, no nonsense, brilliant, relentless, hard working attorney whom I highly recommend to anyone in Monroe county and the state of PA . I needed help in a municipal case. She won one of the hardest civil cases you can imagine. This case was in the local... newspaper and TV news for months. She was super thorough and sharp as a razor in court. This was not her only high visibility case she won. You want results, Jane is your attorney of choice.

Successful Divorce Mediation

My (then) husband and I hired Attorney Maughan to mediate our divorce settlement. The mediation was successful and we avoided court, in large part because of Attorney Maughan's knowledge and experience with divorce court in Monroe County. Knowing what a master might be likely to decide if we ended u...p in court helped us make compromises. Attorney Maughan was also very careful to stay neutral and stuck with the facts whether it was divorce law or experience in the courts. She demonstrated patience but also worked to move us along. Her communications were clear and concise. She is also personable and empathetic. It was not an easy thing to go through, but I cannot imagine how we would have managed without her mediation.

Knowledgeable and Compasionate

Atty. Maughan is extremely knowledgeable as well as compassionate, making my experience less traumatic than it might have been. She capably guided us through a complicated divorce procedure involving an incapacitated adult with a child, arranging for limited custody for the grandparents of said adu...lt.

Highly recommend this attorney!

Jane is a top-notch attorney. I felt confident having Jane as my attorney. She is definitely someone you want in your corner when dealing with a difficult divorce/child custody dispute. Jane is a no-nonsense attorney. She is honest and caring. She will let you know what to expect so you are not blin...d sided.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • 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.
