The odds were against me. There were too many individuals that wanted to see me go down. Wanting to see me crumble with no bright future and nothing to my name. Why? Because that's what they were saying...lies. Fragmented lies to prospectively ruin me. Of course the truth prevailed and James A. Hagan proved that. He proved that to the jury...he proved that to the judge and left the DA speechless with nothing left to say...but more lies. The world we live in today is not a moral world. There are many venomous individuals out there and take the wrong path because they are not happy with their current situation. I don't respect liars but I do respect the truth. My attorney James A. Hagan respects the truth and proves it. He has lifted me up when I was at my worst breaking points and when the DA wanted me to take the plea bargain he kept telling me that I should keep going and not give up. He was always readily available whenever I had questions. I would not have my life today if I had chosen a public defender or taken the plea bargain. Today I am so much more happier with my life and am so grateful to have had him represent me. He knows the law, has knows strategies and by all means will never let you down. Yes...he's that good. I highly recommend him and will continue to have him as my personal lawyer if trouble should ever find me again. I hope not! If so...my mind is at ease knowing that I have him because he is the best.

I was referred to Mr. Hagan by a friend. I have used other attorneys and they were never effective. I have a "high-conflict" divorce and custody case. Mr. Hagan has earned his money with my case and has made movement in my case where others refused to because it was too difficult and did not want the hassle of dealing with opposing counsel's game playing tactics that would drive anyone insane!! Mr. Hagan has stood his ground and after 4 years, I can finally see some light at the end of the tunnel. Mr. Hagan does not fight for the unreasonable and he will advise you as such. If you want an attorney that will not sugar coat or bull sh*& you to take your money, then he is the one for you. He's fees have also been reasonable. In court he is respected by the judge and by other attorneys. Every time we go to court other attorneys have said, "You have a good one." Something I never heard about my previous attorneys. I have a long 13 years to go and Mr. Hagan will be the only attorney I use for my case.

James is an amazing attorney. He helped me get full custody of my two boys after not being able to see them for over two months. I highly recommend him to anyone going through a divorce or custody battle.

I was referred to Mr. James A. Hagan by a friend. He and his staff has been literally godsent to our family by providing discerning logic and sound counsel on a complex family law case. He really listened to me and got the important elements of my case that needed to be brought forward before the courts. This may sound typical or normal for attorney client relationship but his manner in conveying back to me what was important and what was not set me at ease and delivered the results I had hoped for. A true client advocate with a measured hand of reasonableness that resulted in a good outcome for me and my family. I would recommend Mr. Hagan and his seasoned staff to anyone facing the challenge of navigating family court.

I have known Mr. Hagan for a number of years. He has provided both my spouse and I with amazing representation. I just read the one negative review from a client we recommended to Mr. Hagan. In all fairness, this client is very very difficult and has a history of problems with every attorney he has ever dealt with because he knows more than they do and cannot keep his mouth shut in court, blurting out at every turn. Please give NO stock to the review. Mr. Hagan is worth every penny we paid him, and we continue to recommend clients to him on a regular basis.

James A. Hagan is the best attorney that I have ever hired! He is competent and aggressive. My family and I use him for all of our legal needs. He is the only attorney we trust. He also provides quality legal work. He has never been late to an appearance, his fees are very reasonable. My family and I will continue to use him for all of our business and legal needs. I recommend him highly.

While he comes across professionally and knowledgeable when you are hiring him he barely prepares for court, looks extremely disorganized with his paperwork and frankly I could not even tell you what value he provided other then showing up at court and acted like a nasty and harsh person. This was the first attorney I ever had to hire for a personal matter and wow did I learn my lesson! My advice to you is don't believe his BS sincerity and tough talk up front, Mr. Hagan will take every penny he can from you with terrible outcomes from he first tells you!
