Law Offices of Maynard & Hogan

Catherine Connor is an amazing and great attorney. She goes far and behind expectations but also is very understanding. She has been my attorney for 7 months and I’ve never had any issues or concerns. She handles may case with professional and expertise and is very competent. I highly recommend her as attorney because of her knowledge and experience.

Angelica is great!! Responsive and very helpful.

I retained Attorney Moria Hogan to handle both my divorce and a domestic violence restraining order, ultimately paying over $73k for her services. Although she did secure the DVRO—a result for which I was genuinely grateful—this positive outcome was overshadowed by a pattern of aggressive fee demands, poor communication, and ethical lapses. After the initial retainer, she repeatedly insisted on large supplemental payments, even demanding $30k more for an additional evergreen deposit much higher than my contract stated. It was constant stress at a difficult time. Throughout my engagement, direct access to Attorney Hogan was virtually nonexistent. Nearly all correspondence was routed through her assistant, and I never once spoke with her by phone or received substantive case updates unless it was the morning of court or the night before. Court preparation was chaotic: witnesses received last-minute calls the night before hearings, leaving everyone unsure of what to expect. At one point, I was even asked to misstate facts in court. Critical case milestones—such as finalizing my divorce, establishing child support, and securing spousal support—were never met. My divorce is still not finalized. On Christmas Eve she let me know if I did not pay she would no longer work for me. On Christmas Eve!!! To compound matters, she later billed me an additional $53k for supposedly unpaid services and placed a lien on my case, targeting the equity in my Willow Glen home. It felt as though I existed more as a source of revenue than a client in need of legal advocacy. In my experience, Attorney Hogan’s focus was squarely on generating fees rather than on achieving a fair and timely resolution. I cannot and do not recommend Moria Hogan. If you are considering her services, insist on a detailed, written fee schedule; establish clear communication protocols; request regular written progress reports; and speak with former clients before signing any agreement. Especially if you are a woman in a DV case, be prepared she looks at you like an opportunity for money, instead of a victim. Please understand, I am sharing this review and it is very personal, I am disclosing information to help protect other woman.

I am reiterating here my 5-Star Review of Attorney Hogan that Google has improperly hidden from view. Moira is absolutely phenomenal! I hired her after my first attorney failed me miserably. Moira came highly recommended as a fierce litigator, a strategic advocate, and an experienced counselor who truly cares about her clients. Not only does she work really hard, Moira, and her dedicated assistant, Giovanna, always kept me well-informed about my case which was messy and complicated. Thankfully, Moira and her team got my children and me stabilized and where we needed to be. The cost of her representation was well worth it, and I am forever grateful.

I made an initial consultation appointment for $350. I was charged $550. Mr. Maynard then lied and told me the $350 was a "special price" due to time sensitivity. A complete lie. He has refused to return my personal papers/info. When I emailed, he threatened me, called me and extortionist, and threatened to sue me. AVOID LIKE THE PLAGUE!
