Very knowledgeable and easy to work with

Ms. Wickre represented me in a child custody case that involved multiple show cause petitions and the father was seeking reimbursement of his legal fees. We went to trial and Ms. Wickre managed to have all petitions dismissed. I could not have asked for a better resolution and would recommend her wit...hout any hesitation!

Professional and caring

Megan took our case for traffic court and the outcome was what we had hoped for. She was very knowledgable of how the laws work and the courtroom. It made things alot less stressful.

Amazing dedication to my case, 100% satisfied with her work!!!

Megan handled my child custody case, my separation/divorce, as well as other legal matters with all outcomes resolved in my favor! Even though my cases became complicated at times, Megan's knowledge of the law and the legal system plus her hard work and dedication made what seemed impossible to achie...ve, possible. I am also active duty military, currently on deployment, and she was very understanding of my schedule and situation when it came to my case, as well as keeping in contact with me about my case by whatever means necessary. I am very glad I hired Megan to help me and I would recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable lawyer who knows what she's doing.

Poor excuse for a defense lawyer

She was totally clueless in the court room. She had me in a jam and went up on the price by $400. Of course I agreed because she was talking logically. The judge had to help her along the way in the courtroom. Heck, the judge stressed to me "Good luck" at the conclusion. I received the worst judgem...ent because of her lack of skills and her commitment to her client. Other inmates and people asked me who she was so they wouldn't use her. I would highly recommend you spend your dollars somewhere else. A public defender works harder for you than she will. She received her paument upfront and did nothing productive after that. Don't let her practice law on you! You've been warned.

She needs a lot of training

She represented me in my child support hearing case, and it went terrible. She gave me the impression prior to the trial that I will be paying only $500; but the trial went so bad that the judge ordered me to pay my Ex $2,400. Furthermore, my Ex did not even have a lawyer; she represented herself and... beat Mrs. Wickre. I was extremely disappointed in her work because we went to the trial not knowing even the finances of my ex. I can not recommend her even to my enemy.
