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.
"Referring attorneys can be tricky: you want your clients to be in the best hands. Fortunately, for divorce-related matters, I have had the pleasure of referring a few clients to Meghan, all of whom have been beyond satisfied with her representation. She is fantastic and I would recommend her to anyone who is married or thinking of getting married in the near future."
"Meghan is smart, experienced, and dedicated to her clients. She is not only an excellent family law attorney, but also an excellent Guardian ad Litem."
