My focus is on helping clients determine the best legal process for their specific case. Choosing the right process is the most important decision that a client can make. My goal is to help clients determine what will work best for them and then help them create a process to meet their needs.

Mediation 20%

I represent clients in mediation and also serve as a mediator. I work with clients who have attorneys and those who choose to represent themselves. Mediation allows you to resolve your case privately, allows you to make the decisions for your family, and allows you to avoid costly litigation.

This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Made a difficult process easy

I hired Meegan to represent me in filing a divorce. She was amazing. She always had a smile and encouraging words through a challenging process. Meegan was able to put all of the legal terms and requirements into a language that I was able to easily understand. She guided me through the filing and me...diation process and always was very considerate of everyone involved. She was able to make recommendations that took into consideration the interests of me, my ex and my daughter. Meegan brought to the table a wealth of knowledge of the legal process, the courts, and suggestions on how to solve some of the most sensitive issues. I would highly recommend Meegan for any divorce or family matters.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
