Attorney at Law Services

The Law Office of M. Jude Egan, Esq. represents businesses, families and individuals in a practice that is both practical and sophisticated.  For businesses we provide support from start to finish – from planning, consulting, contract drafting and review to litigation and transactional services.  We analyze potential legal pitfalls from the get-go and work with you to create strong contracts that reduce the likelihood of problems in the future.  We have business clients along the Central Coast corridor from San Luis Obispo to Santa Maria, California.

For families going through a divorce, your support payments and child custody depend on having tough legal counsel who knows when to press in the court system and when to get a deal done.  We represent families in all types of divorces from high-asset, high-conflict divorces to relatively clean dissolutions with high level of agreement.  We work with marriage and family therapists and C.P.A.s to ensure that all legal issues and concerns are addressed by the court.  We have particular expertise with pension and business valuations.  We represent both men and women in dissolution actions and have had a good deal of success getting fair custody divisions and setting support levels appropriately.

We work with individuals and families in elder care and estate planning, using the protections provided by the law to protect client assets and help plan for the future.  In our practice, we work with financial planners in San Luis Obispo, Arroyo Grande, and Santa Maria to ensure that our clients’ assets are both protected and have room to grow.  We take special care to ensure that our elders have safe, comfortable retirements and when the time comes, can move to assisted care or nursing facilities that will ensure their comfort.

Finally, we work with businesses throughout the state of California and where Federal jurisdictions are involved, throughout the United States in the emerging area of social media and internet law.  We have highly specialized knowledge of social media policies and procedures, cease and desist letters, cyberstalking and trademark enforcement.
