The absolute best !

My first and hopefully only time divorced, however, this process was semingly flawless with Meghan Buckwalter. Meghan checked in to make sure I was okay, I was protected and I understood everything. She was thorough will every single piece of information and extremely detailed. I couldn’t have picked... anyone better !! I cannot ever thank her enough. Truly grateful to have her on my side.

Extremely knowledgeable and helpful!!

Ms. Buckwalter reviewed my very difficult multi-state child support case and gave me the best and complete rundown I could have imagined. She remained in constant contact without wasting time and the end result was EXACTLY WHAT I ASKED FOR!! Amazing attorney

Bad experience

I hired Meghan Buckwalter to represent me. I often felt I needed to hire a lawyer to protect my interests that she was not protecting. She kept insisting I file my taxes jointly with my soon to be X despite having Innocent Spousal status with the IRS. At the time of signing the divorce settlement she... asked me to sign it at court, without time to proof read. Many vital clauses were omitted in that settlement that she did notice. In short, she did not represent my or my children’s interests. It was a costly and frustrating experience.
