James J Moloughney

I sought for an attorney to handle/help me with my divorce/child custody arrangements. I came across James on Google and sent an email, within an hour I had received a reply. From the moment I met Jim, I knew I had chosen the right attorney. He was very welcoming, patient and understanding as I explained my case. Jim is a straight forward guy and was very honest with me, he explained very clearly his opinion regarding my divorce and custody battle. I was worried about the custody issue, he helped to put my mind at ease. We had regular meetings to discuss the case matters, he was available through email and by phone. Whenever I had any questions or concerns he was right there to answer. Through my whole case, Jim was with me every step of the way. He's one of the best lawyers in NJ hands down and really loves his job. For an attorney in NJ, Jim's services weren't over priced. All in all, I am very happy that I chose James Moloughney as my attorney, he won my case and settled my divorce.

I interviewed several family law attorneys before I met Mr Moloughney. I knew immediately that he was exceptional, and after more than 15 months of working together I appreciate him even more. Thanks to him, my divorce and custody dispute have been a transition instead of a tragedy. Other attorneys told me about typical divorce results and were immediately ready to begin litigation on my behalf. Jim listened to my story and helped me visualize a range of possible outcomes that seemed not merely survivable but truly livable. He was the only attorney who was ready with a whole range of responses and actions, of graduated intensity, carefully considered to minimize conflict and retain every possible option for a fair and reasonable settlement. Jim always worked for a quick and humane settlement of my case -- even when this meant fewer billable hours for him. Jim was never unprepared to seize an advantage but he never inflamed tempers either. He educated me when I was ignorant, calmed me when I was enraged, and eased my fears when I was anxious. Jim helped me avoid making things worse for myself. If I had acted on my own impulses I would have damaged my own propects many times. Jim was always prompt to share expert advice which was always thoughtful and compassionate while at the same time being ruthlessly practical. I am not an expert in family law but I've worked with geniuses and pretenders in many other fields -- I quickly recognized that Jim's expertise is profound. He has an intimate familiarity with the people and institutions concerned with family law in my county. He knows the way things are supposed to work, and they way they often work in real life. I was always well-informed about matters of law as well as the practical considerations involved in each stage of my divorce. Jim's basic professional talents and values are impeccable: fast, clear communication; reading comprehension skills which I found frankly astonishing; perfect organization; excellent command of a wide range of modern communication technologies. Jim dedicated himself not just to resolving my divorce, but to ensuring that I would have a good life to live on the other side of it. He was a teacher as much as an attorney to me, and I'm absolutely convinced that my life post-divorce will always be much better than it could ever have been without his help.
