Reviews for Gerald
Have you consulted or hired this lawyer?
Leave a review about your experience with this lawyer.Jerry Curran was recommended to me by a friend who practices law in Northern Virginia. Jerry and his associate Jenna Hayba negotiated a successful resolution of my case. They and their paralegals kept me fully informed throughout the process. I highly recommend Jerry and Jenna to anyone who needs legal assistance in a domestic relations matter.
I worked with Jerry Curran and Jenna Hayba on my recent divorce and was very impressed by their ability to keep my divorce moving forward as we encountered issues along the way. They were very good at moving the other side forward as well. Very responsive to my requests and great advice on all matters. Jerry was very good at helping me gather all the essential information to plan an effective strategy for the best outcome. In the end everything came out well and much better than planned. Thank you Jenna, Jerry and the entire team at Curran Moher and Weis for you great service and wise advice.
I had “the” ugly divorce - kids were involved, private business needed to be divided, my ex-wife was angry, and her lawyer was aggressive. In short, the perfect storm for a divorce case. If it were not for Jerry Curran and his entire office, I would not have been able to survive the ordeal. Mr. Curran and the attorneys at Curran Moher Weis are smart, realistic, responsive, fast, and can deal with many different problems at the same time.
I’ve been a lawyer for 20 years and I know from professional experience what makes a good lawyer and how badly things can go if you hire the wrong one. Divorce is a very hard experience and you will need the best support you can get, from family, friends and, most importantly to the outcome of the divorce, your divorce lawyer.
Jerry Curran and his team are simply the best you can find. Jerry is extremely strategic, smart, diligent, and responsive. His reputation at the courthouse and with opposing counsel eliminate certain problems and obstacles that delay and confound less distinguished lawyers. He knows when to be aggressive and when to be conciliatory. He also has a highly effective team behind him: hard-working associates with great instincts about parts of the process and paralegals who really understand some of the most technical parts of court filings, such as how income and expenses are properly understood, demonstrated, and supported. My situation required a good amount of after-hours help: calls late at night and on weekends to report my ex-spouses latest craziness. Jerry was great. Always available, always giving calm, smart, strategic advice. This is the team you want in your corner. Hiring a good lawyer is not cheap, but as I’ve heard in my own legal practice “if you think a good lawyer is expensive, try a bad one.”
An anecdote illustrates that I am not alone in this thinking. I spoke with a friend of a friend who had gone through a divorce. He asked me “who is your lawyer?” I said “Jerry Curran.” He said “Oh, then you’ll be fine.” You see, this guy’s ex-wife had used Jerry for their divorce and this man thought that Jerry ran circles around his own counsel.
Simply outstanding as a lawyer and full-service counselor. Had my long-term best interests in mind at all times. Great on strategy, tactics, practice. Intensely responsive. Have referred over and over to friends and all are very happy.
Jerry has a structured approach to handling divorce cases and reaching settlements. While we didn't go to court, I felt very confident in his representation
He is the best divorce attorney in northern Virginia. Hands down.
