This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Very disappointed, her inefficiency cost me dearly.

Difficulty during the entire process with prompt communication. I was referred to Ms Spidell by a lawyer friend, her charges were over triple what was estimated. She failed to recognize an appraisal on our house. I estimate that this cost me $20,000.00. Also poorly worded details in our division of ...property documents caused my ex wife to "steal" property designated for me. When asked to contact her lawyer to resolve, Ms. Spidell's response was "i did not receive any response to either inquiry from her attorney, whatsoever." This cost me over $10,000.00.

Knowledgeable Attorney

I highly recommend Megan as your attorney for Family Law! She represented me in court three separate times. She is very knowledgeable and does a great job in Trial! Thank you Megan for all you have done for me!

Very dedicated, Very satisfied!

I was represented better than I could have ever imagined. Megan Spidell and her team put my needs first and was treated as a friend rather than a number. My opinions were valued and my doubts were always reassured. My nerves were calmed after seeing her stellar performance and knowledge in the courtr...oom on several occasions. She went above and beyond and did everything she could to ensure a great outcome. I couldn't have asked for a better attorney. Megan always explained the worst case scenario but was always optimistic that she could work out the best case scenario, which she did for me. Thanks Megan, for the long hours and late nights put into my case! And thanks to her assistant Samantha for the countless communications and tons of help she gave freely!
