Reviews From Former Clients

"It was a complicated case that needed special attention, Jack was able to give it the attention it needed"

Jack and his assistant Amy, were great to work with. My case was complicated, but Jack broke it all down for me and kept it simple. He and Amy were great at communicating with me, and always kept me up to date. Jack worked tirelessly to protect my interest, and shield me from the otherside. Jack's confidence was essential at keeping me calm and in the end all worked out. I highly recommend Jack (and Amy) for your legal needs.

"Helpful and fair"

I recommend Moncure and Barnicle for any family matter litigation. They worked to protect my interests and found resolutions that were fair.

"Excellent Representation!"

“We engaged John Moncure to settle our father’s estate in 2017. John was very caring, very knowledgeable. He expertly guided me (as Personal Representative) through the process. In 2018, John and Jack Barnicle helped us with a family owned vacation home sale. Jack was vigilant in protecting our rights, correcting documents, and moving the process forward. As this involved an Irrevocable Trust, Jack and John combined their expertise to ensure a favorable outcome. They are top knotch attorneys and great people as well. We highly recommend them.”

"If Jack Barnicle isn't your attorney, you've got the wrong attorney."

Jack and Amy were phenomenal from beginning to end of my divorce process. Jack's trial prep was detailed, his technique in the courtroom was masterful and the result ended up 1000 times better than I was even anticipating. Amy's support, attention to detail and responsiveness to my questions were superb. If I still lived in Maine, I'd certainly have these folks on retainer. Their professionalism, candidness and attention to detail is second to none. 5-stars doesn't do them justice.

"Jack Barnicle was pretty amazing for us."

Jack Barnicle was pretty amazing for us. I had my doubts before going into the courtroom, but after I must admit I was quite impressed. Jack's knowledge of family law and precision planning got directly to the crux of the situation.

"His knowledge of family law and courtroom procedure is exemplary."

I have worked with Jack and Amy on my own divorce case, and very recently on modifying a parental rights agreement. Jack will work with you to develop a reasonable fair agreement for all involved, in particular looking out for the child?s best interest. He spent time with us preparing the court approach with detailed examples, resulting in a successful outcome for my stepdaughter. His knowledge of family law and courtroom procedure is exemplary. I recommend him highly.

"Excellent Experience"

In most cases when you need an attorney it’s usually not a great situation. But I can honestly say Mr. Barnicle helped to make the best of a terrible situation. In today’s society attorneys can all be lumped into a group of self serving people of questionable character. I can say that Jack Barnicle breaks that stereotype. In working with him it became very evident to me that his main focus is a positive outcome for his client. He is great to deal with extremely professional, honest and just a nice guy. I couldn’t have been any happier with my experience and would highly recommend him to anyone that needs an attorney.

"Could not recommend a better team than Jack and Amy."

I could not recommend a better team than Jack and Amy. They helped me every step of this process. Any questions or concerns they always put me at ease. If looking for an amazing divorce attorney you can’t go wrong with Jack!

"I'll contact Moncure & Barnicle without hesitation"

The duration which Moncure & Barnicle provided representation for me spanned multiple years. I had retained Jack and Amy not based on price, instead by reputation and diplomacy. Jack's "Take the High Road" approach was not always the way I wanted to go, as I witnessed other attorneys in the room disrespect typical and acceptable guidelines. I let Jack lead the way, and the results spoke volumes. When and if the time comes again for representation, I'll contact Moncure & Barnicle without hesitation.

"Thanks for all the hard work keeping me informed and my mind at ease and our big win."

I can’t express my thankfulness to Jack Barnicle and Amy Groh for all their hard work and compassion they showed me. I’m from Georgia and got hurt in Maine, didn’t have a clue who I could trust in Maine. I searched for lawyers in Maine, saw a lot but when I saw Moncure & Barnicle I stopped and read testimonials of others that had use them. I was more than satisfied with their services and just like the rest that had used them as their lawyer. I was not disappointed in them. Thanks for all the hard work keeping me informed and my mind at ease and our big win.

"I always tell everyone that when it comes to real estate matters - buying, selling, condos, title problems, working with lenders -- your expert assistance is the best."

Hello John - I wanted to say how pleased I have been with the services of the title company connected with your law office, Pejepscot Title and your manager there, Nicole Chipman. Whenever possible, I have chosen to use your company for real estate transactions for over 20 years now, and the closings all come together very smoothly. As a real estate broker for over 3 decades, I know all the service providers quite well and it's in my interest to recommend those who will serve my clients best, and you never let me down -although we've had some VERY DIFFICULT transactions. You and Nicole make it all look so easy. My wife and I use you for our own personal business, too, and Nicole's extra effort to help us buy the foreclosed home this year was truly AMAZING. I always tell everyone that when it comes to real estate matters - buying, selling, condos, title problems, working with lenders -- your expert assistance is the best. Thanks for everything and I'll be talking to you about the next transaction soon!

Letter to John Moncure: Please accept my gratitude and satisfaction over a job well done. As a court manager for Superior Court of the State of New Jersey, I have many years experience dealing with attorneys. I worked with the good and the not so good. As we live in NJ, we were compelled to retain the services of an attorney in Maine. We did our due diligence and researched at length the qualifications and reputation of attorneys. Your name was most prominent and impressive. We were not disappointed. Phone calls were given immediate attention, your staff was quite friendly and you took pains to ensure we were always updated and in the loop. Most of my friends and relatives are attorneys and my wife observed that you were more accessible than they are. It is anticipated that we will again purchase property in Maine and will again look forward to your expertise, professionalism and Maine hospitality.

"I always feel like I am talking to old friends when I need to speak with them. Family is really what they focus on and I am glad that I had them on my case."

I have used the services of Jack Barnicle on a few occasions. He has always been very honest and helpful. I would recommend Jack to anyone facing the difficult challenges that he and his offices deal with so well! I always knew that if I had questions that he or his assistant Amy would get back to me promptly. I always feel like I am talking to old friends when I need to speak with them. Family is really what they focus on and I am glad that I had them on my case.

"Their encouragement and compassion that they had showed toward me will follow me in life knowing that there are people that actually truly care for others."

I met Jack Barnicle in the Spring of 2007. Jack and his legal staff took on my case and believed in me when I don’t even think I believed in myself. I had left an abusive relationship & was facing a custody battle not only with my divorce at that time but also with a prior relationship. I was facing court date after court date, Guardian Ad Litems and Jack kept telling me, you and your girls are healthy this will pass. Their encouragement and compassion that they had showed toward me will follow me in life knowing that there are people that actually truly care for others. Jack, Tom and Amy are more than their profession- they are more like extended family or friends to me & the girls. I cannot express my thankfulness enough & I don’t think they will ever know how much they have touched my life. Even though, things are still crazy at times, the day Jack looked at me and said that I had come a long way from the first time he had met me was the day I knew my girls and I will be ok. You guys are the greatest & thank you from the bottom of my heart.

"They did a great job of moving forward quickly to an outcome that was better than I had any reason to expect. I highly recommend them for those in need of family law representation."

I am truly grateful to attorney Jack Barnicle and paralegal Amy Herrick for leading me through divorce proceedings in a manner that was both professional and caring. They demonstrated an ideal balance of strength in representing my legal interests along with compassion and a calming word when my anxiety level would occasionally rise. Jack and Amy were thoroughly prepared and communicated with me in a timely and cordial way. They did a great job of moving forward quickly to an outcome that was better than I had any reason to expect. I highly recommend them for those in need of family law representation.

"Going through a divorce is one of the hardest things I've ever done and I'm thankful I had Jack and Amy there to help me through it every step of the way."

When I decided to file for divorce I wasn't sure which way to turn. My friend recommended Jack Barnicle and after meeting with Jack, I knew it was the right fit for me. He was sincere in his commitment to my case, and more importantly he was honest with me in regards to what I could expect and what rights I had. He was always available to answer my questions and was there personally at all meetings and court dates. The paralegal, Amy, was also extremely helpful and always took the time to answer my questions or help me out whenever I called. Going through a divorce is one of the hardest things I've ever done and I'm thankful I had Jack and Amy there to help me through it every step of the way. I would (and have) recommended Jack Barnicle to anyone looking for a family law attorney.

"I never had cause to question reliability, honesty or integrity. The best service I have ever had that I hope to never get again!"

Jack Barnicle and his paralegal, Amy Herrick, were a great asset throughout my case. Throughout the proceedings they were supportive, attentive and quick to respond at all times. Most importantly I was kept informed and well apprised of what to expect. I never had cause to question reliability, honesty or integrity. The best service I have ever had that I hope to never get again!

"Although I am a lawyer, I am definitely not a real estate (or Maine) lawyer so it was a great comfort to have someone with your experience and knowledge in our camp. I know my parents feel the same way."

Dear Attorney Moncure: Many thanks for all your help. Although I am a lawyer, I am definitely not a real estate (or Maine) lawyer so it was a great comfort to have someone with your experience and knowledge in our camp. I know my parents feel the same way.
