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.

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.

She took a genuine interest in my well being and her attention to details has secured my future.

I obtained attorney Maughan, 7 years ago, knowing that I was inevitably headed for Divorce, and wasn't sure what to expect. I always felt informed, even when I did not know what would happen, I was always prepared. Her advice and direction were spot on!!! She communicated with me every step of the way via. email, phone call or office visits. But did not waste time with the irrelevant nonsense that spouses are great at. Jane Maughan is a tough, ethical, honest, caring, brilliant,hard working attorney whom I highly recommend to anyone, and I have.

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 sensitive 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.

Jane handled my divorce. She has a very precise system to gather the correct documents and gather all the needed info that saves hours that I can not count. A system like this can only be made with years and years of diligent hard work and experience mated with a high level of understanding of the legal concepts at play. I always felt informed and prepared even when we did not know what would happen I was prepared for the possible outcomes. There was no leave it to me, she communicated succinctly every step of the way but did not waste time with the irrelevant noise that spouses on both sides are great at creating. Her initial budget estimates were accurate. Her advice and direction were priceless. I highly recommend Jane Maughan for your legal counsel.

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.

I highly recommend Attorney Maughan. My ex-wife and I hired her to be a single neutral attorney-mediator to help both of us in mediation through the divorce process. As was her role as attorney-mediator, Jane did a great job of educating both of us about the law and rights that apply in our divorce, without taking sides. She helped us to understand the end-to-end process, (in language we understood), gather information about property and assets, identify issues, develop options for settlement, and negotiate resolutions that worked for both of us and our family. You’ll find Jane to be ethical, knowledgeable and care about the things that are causing you concern. A great choice to help you through a very difficult time in your life.

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 up 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.

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 adult.
