Knowledgable and Caring

Megan was completely engaged in my case. She made herself completely available when I needed information, advice, and guidance regarding my employment dispute. We were dealing with an unreasonable (my opinion) employer and without her careful counsel, this may have ended poorly. Fortunately, the cou...nsel she gave eventually led us to a victory. I am are very grateful for her hard work.

If There Was a Pulitzer for Attorneys...

After discovering my husband's family failed to disclose to him important literary rights he was entitled to and after talking to firms who saw years of litigation punctuated with dollar signs, we hired Megan Knowlton Balne. She was forensic in her research, a tough negotiator, stuck to the budget a...nd timeline and delivered a settlement we can live with. Given the nasty nature of family matters, she structured the payment of royalties through a neutral party. One never wants to be in such a difficult and emotionally-charged matter, but should the need arise for a great attorney, we would retain her again in a heartbeat.

Honest, Experienced, A great listener

Ms. Balne led us through a protracted issue with our Township with a successful result. We were very pleased with her enthusiasm to stand behind us with her knowledge, experience and ability to represent our interests.

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.
