Megan makes it easy

Megan did my estate planning recently. She communicated very well through the process and asked questions that I hadn't really considered. I could tell she put some real thought into what we needed individually. When it was time to sign documents she had a plain language way of walking us through ...the documents that made it really easy to understand. What i thought was going to be a dreadful experience turned out to be pretty painless. I will definitely use Megan again.

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.
