Meg Reston

It was very comforting knowing that Meg was doing her best for me.

Above and beyond

I am grateful for the representation in family court with Meg over the past 5 years. I have used her twice for the same case. She is professional, organized, reliable, communicative and solid in the court room. As a mama bear, she helped aide in the anxiety and fear fighting for my Childs best intere...st. Her calm, knowledgeable energy collaborated with me to help in our victories in the court room. You will not go wrong with Meg representing you!

Review of Margaret Reston

I hired Meg to represent me in a divorce proceeding. I found her to be very knowledgeable and helpful during the process. She always answered my questions and emails on a timely basis. I felt I was well represented and my concerns heard. I would not hesitate to hire her again or refer her.

Smart, tough, and a winner!

Margaret McMullen Reston is an awesome divorce lawyer. She goes above and beyond to help me with my case. She gets high ratings for being a strong communicator with me and the defendant’s lawyer. Her explanations are thorough, and she is very good at helping me understand my case so that I always kn...ow what to expect. She responds quickly to my emails, promptly answering any questions I have. Meg makes very knowledgeable decisions to help strengthen my case. She really does care about her clients. Her balance of compassion and determination to reach the desired outcome for her clients make her the ideal attorney.

Avoid at all costs

I hired Ms. Reston for a divorce/custody matter to support me and my young son. Ms. Reston did not aggressively support me, my child or my case. Furthermore, she rarely answered my questions in any straightforward fashion creating greater confusion, worry and concern. Most emails that contained im...portant questions or a request for clarification were ignored increasing my concerns and anxiety in one of the more difficult situations in life - divorce and child custody. Even my deep concerns for my child were not addressed with any degree of commitment, clarity, empathy or compassion. I payed her fee but she did not work for me or in my or my son's best interest, and did not fight for what is right for my child. Ms. Reston worked in her best interest. In the end, she added an extra layer of concern and stress to an already extremely difficult and stressful experience. All while costing me thousands of dollars in fees.
