Megan is exceptionally knowledgeable, thoughtful and personable. We sought her help with estate planning once our daughter was born and she walked us through the complicated process and crafted a plan that suits us perfectly. She is always willing to listen and provides constructive feedback. We enjoyed working with her so much that she's helped my dad create a comprehensive estate plan. I would recommend Megan without reservation.

Probate Closing
My firm, Novus Properties, retained Megan Wallace's counsel for a probate property we were trying to close. She was extremely professional and knowledgeable. Without her expertise we would not have been able to close the property and begin construction. I would definitely recommend her to anyone seeking legal counsel.

Highly Recommend. Purposeful counsel and knowledgeable insights to estate planning.
I sought Megan's expertise in revising an old will I had done previously with another attorney many years earlier. The process couldn't have been more different than before! Megan took a sequential and thoughtful approach in determining the best options for me to consider as part of this highly personal document. Pleasant, fun and knowledgeable I am happy to provide a testimonial on her behalf. I recommend her to my own clients, friends and neighbors.

Excellent estate planning services
Megan handled our (somewhat complex) estate planning with expert guidance, thorough preparation, and easy execution. She offers holistic advice to ensure estate planning considers all of the important scenarios that require documentation. I particularly appreciate that she kept our complicated situation clearly defined and successfully managed differences between my preferences and those of my wife. I'd happily work with Megan again.

Highly recommend!
Megan was such a pleasure to work with! Everything you've ever heard about lawyers? Forget all that and just hire Megan...
She's smart, *good*, friendly, so easy to work with, professional and responsive. We needed our wills, trusts, etc. updated and put in place and Megan took care of everything. She asked us questions that help us understand and clarify our needs and intentions, made sure we'd considered all angles, and then set up the legal documents and structures exactly as per our decisions.
I would HIGHLY recommend Megan and will certainly be calling her myself anytime I need legal work in the future!

Megan Wallace review
I recently purchased a small business in Falls Church, VA and needed the help of a lawyer. I was lucky enough to find Megan. She assisted me throughout the transition, working diligently to ensure my best interests were looked out for. This was unfamiliar territory for me and she made sure I understood each aspect of the sale. Megan was easy to get in touch with and reliable when it came down to deadlines. What I appreciated most however, was her personal support and enthusiasm for my career move. I felt she held a genuine interest in my business, rather than being treated as just another legal transaction.

A great attorney!
Megan assisted me in negotiating an employee contract. I was a little gun shy due to the issues I faced with a previous employer and my contract negotiation with him. Megan helped me to completely understand the contract I was provided, she walked me through developing a list of changes and then assisted me in prioritizing the importance of each of these changes. I am happy to say that all the major changes Megan suggested were accepted by my employer and I am on my way to becoming a full partner in the company. Thank you Meagan!
