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.

The Attorney We Needed

Jane Maughan has been our attorney for a challenging child custody case involving our granddaughters, who were in an unsafe environment. Every step of the way, Jane has provided us with sound legal advice to achieve the best outcomes for us and our granddaughters. She didn't always tell us what we ...wanted to hear, but she always told us what we needed to hear. She's focused, ethical, and fair, in and out of the courtroom. With Jane's help, the girls have been living safely with us for almost 2 years, and we are in the process of filing for permanent custody. We couldn't have chosen a better attorney.

A true professional, one of the best

I have dealt with countless attorneys during years in business and have always been amazed at the wide range of skill/talent (or lack of) in the profession. I have known Jane for many years because of her excellent reputation in the community and hired her recently to handle a difficult and sensitiv...e legal matter. I was extremely pleased with her and the guidance she provided. She was always professional but had a relaxed and friendly style that put all involved at ease. Jane demonstrated excellent knowledge of the law and smoothly guided us to a very fair result. If not the best, she is among top 2 or 3 attorneys I have worked with during my years in business. I would highly recommend her.

Approachable, Ethical, Effective

Jane is thoroughly knowledgeable in the area of Family Law. She represented my divorce case in the most professional and effective manner. Jane took the time to make sure I understood all the steps involved and kept me informed throughout the entire process. My phone calls were promptly returned a...nd all my questions and concerns were addressed. Jane’s personal and approachable demeanor made me feel comfortable. She took a genuine interest in my well being and her attention to details has secured my future.

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.
