My experience with Meghan Throp

Where do I begin. Meghan was absolutely amazing. I came to Meghan not knowing anything about the process I was about to get involved with. She explained everything to me very thoroughly and did not leave any part of the process out. Honestly I cannot begin to explain how comfortable I became while w...orking with Meghan. On top of being my attorney she became a support system for me. Meghan was always professional and extremely classy in all aspects. Even though this was one of the hardest times of my life, Meghan was able to guide me through, and the results show. Also I would love to add how professional and hard working Elizabeth was. Between Meghan and Elizabeth I knew I could always get a hold of them if I had a question. In Conclusion I would just like to say thank you to Meghan Throp, and the entire firm.

So quick & efficient

Working with Meghan was an absolute joy. She is friendly and personable & so so quick & efficient. She was incredibly on top of things & I’m so grateful she was recommended to me. She worked well with the opposing attorney to get every detail worked out. She made me feel like my case was the only o...ne she was working on, which I know by far was not the case. I cannot recommend her highly enough!

Divorce done right

Meghan is extremely professional, prepared, and responsive. I called her wanting to get my divorce done without litigation, but with a good result for me and my children. She was very understanding of my situation and made the divorce happen almost exactly as I had hoped it would. She has great follo...w through and eased this stay at home mom with disabled children through a very scary time. I highly recommend her.

THANK YOU

Meghan C. Thorpe!!! What a blessing. I met Meghan at a time when I was broken. I had been with another attorney and going through the divorce process was a nightmare. I was referred to Meghan and she walked me through every step of the process. I felt cared for by an efficient ,competent, bold fig...hter. Meghan listened to my concerns and explained clearly and concisely what needed to be done. She responds to emails and phone calls in a timely fashion. I am forever grateful for the service that I received from Meghan Thorpe and Elizabeth Hegner. I have already recommended them without hesitation to a dear friend.

Huge Help During Difficult Time

I needed to modify my child support and it was going to be a complicated case. Meghan and the team navigated this situation and it resulted in a very good outcome. She was so very detailed and guided me through the complex process. I could not recommend her and the firm more.
