Excellent Representation

Having Megan represent myself and my family in my child custody case has been such a relief because after struggling in the past with other attorneys, I finally found a lawyer who understands how to quickly make sense of complicated situations, identify the important factors of both parties, and desi...gn an approach that clearly demonstrates that she has her clients back. Some of the things that impressed me the most about Megan was her quick thinking, her ability to command control inside and outside the court room, and her consistent follow-ups with me always keeping me posted. I hired Megan because the attorney I had been working with over the previous 6 months somehow had me in position to lose this case that should have been a slam dunk. Literally, within 15 minutes of my first hearing with Megan representing me, the other party gave in, and I was able to win a case that I had been working on for 6 months. I needed a lawyer who was knowledgeable, crafty, and professional and Megan exceeded what I was hoping for.

Family law review for Megan Hazel Reppy

When I came to Megan for legal advice about my custody case I wasn't expecting to be met with such personal attention and a caring attitude. Megan took tons of notes during our initial meeting and immediately went to work to try and resolve my case without having to go to court. My ex-husband was i...ntent on dragging out our case and causing as many problem's as he could. Megan kept me informed every step of the way. We were in communication on a daily basis. She always explained what was going on and how to best approach the situation taking into consideration my financial status. Megan is an incredible lawyer and a wonderful person. She managed to get an agreement (that I am very pleased with) in my hand within a month and a half without having to set foot in a courtroom. I would highly recommend Megan to anyone.

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.
