Doctors Divorce Angel

If you are a medical doctor then go with Megha. I have seen other doctors take themselves out as a result of bad divorces. This woman is an angel sent from heaven for doctors. She will help you slow the process the down and give time to think. Don’t let her sweet looks fool you. She is dangerous.

An attorney who listens

In the 15+ years since I entered in a divorce settlement with my ex, I have worked with 6 lawyers...and then I found Megha. Megha was the first attorney I worked with that I felt really listened and HEARD me. She was straightforward and honest and rational in her approach. I never felt she was trying... to do something to add to her fees, as I have with other lawyers. We were able to deal with the situation presented to us in a quick, professional manner. And while the settlement was not what I had wanted, it is exactly what Megha predicted would happen, based on the facts of the case. I could not recommend her more highly!

Megha and her entire team were outstanding in getting me through my very difficult divorce.

Megha is, in a word, outstanding! Smart, decisive, knows the law and will work to help you understand your options and deal with the more than occasional curve ball! Her staff is through, pleasant and keeps things on-track. Megha is very strategic and provides a strong arm to lean on during what was,... for me, a difficult time.

Family dispute - TRO

I needed the advice of an attorney regarding my family issues. I contacted Hill Wallack, LLC and met Megha Thakkar. At first I was a bit skeptical because she looked and is young. Ms. Thakkar prepared and handled all motions expeditiously. Ms. Thakkar represented me in a professional manner and in th...e courtroom her cross-examination was on point. Thankfully, my case was dismissed and we won the case. I would recommend Ms. Thakker to anyone seeking legal advice.

Best Divirce Attorney.

I hired Megha after conducting lot of attorney research for my divorce case. I had a very complex custody situation and the case prolonged for more than 2 years. Megha handled my case very professionally and always has given me the best advice through out. She always listens to the facts and gives a ...candid assessment of the probable outcomes and very factual in terms of advising even though it was not what I wanted to hear at times. She is the best and I would hire her again. I strongly recommend her for complex divorce and custody matters.
