Megan Block Rating

Megan reviewed a specific legal package for me and thoroughly researched related legal information. She was very responsive to questions and explained what I needed to know well. She did not rush me when I took time to investigate various cases she had pointed out in her legal research and was kind, ...polite, empathetic and professional throughout our interactions.

Employment Rights

Megan Block was extremely helpful when I was going through some challenges at work. She generously provided legal guidance to help me understand my rights, and recommended strategies and next steps. I would recommend Megan to anyone seeking assistance in cases of employment law and discrimination.

Excellent attorney

Megan is the attorney for our non-profit organization, which fights for workers rights and social, racial, and economic justice. She has been consistently excellent, from the filing of the organization’s incorporation paperwork, to setting up complex political compliance mechanisms, to handling chall...enging staff and partners dynamics in a compassionate and effective way that protects the legal liability of the organization. Megan is responsive, accountable, and efficient with her time. I’m not sure what more you could expect in an attorney.

Expert, Professional, and Responsive Legal Services

We have retained Ms. Block's services on an ongoing basis for nonprofit and political compliance as well as employment and human resource issues. Ms. Block is always professional, quick to respond, and has thorough and thoughtful solutions for complex issues. She helps us to make legal decisions in... accordance with our values, and I would highly recommend Ms. Block and her firm for any employment, labor, or political issue.

Confused Lawyer

Megan was referred to me by another law firm. After a phone conversation with her, she asked for an in person meeting. I met with Megan to discuss my case for employment litigation. At the end of meeting, she advised me that she would call me the following week. I waited for almost a week, but did no...t hear from her while she knew I had deadline to meet. I had to send her a follow up Email and she responded that she can not take my case due to her workload and my fast-approaching deadline. I do not mind that she did not take my case since there are numerous more-experienced attorneys who would happily take my case, but what makes me surprised is that she did not let me know sooner that she would not take my case, specially that she knew that my deadline is fast approaching. Her choice was to waste my time for a week while giving me an impression that she would take my case. Furthermore, if her workload would not allow her to take my case, she should not have requested for a face to face meeting. I did not find Megan devoted to her clients and spirit of legal profession, and as such, I do not recommend her to anyone.
