Posted by Gerry | August 21, 2013 | Child Custody

Good listener, detail oriented

After hiring a different attorney and feeling like they were not fighting for me and did not have my best interest in mind, Megan came referred by a highly experienced and well known attorney that I called for a consultation. Throughout the length of the litigation Megan was able to stay organized wi...th all the details in my case and never made me feel like I was being petty over my wants like the previous attorney. She was willing to listen. She fought until the end for a parenting plan that suited my specific needs (having a long distance visitation situation) and surprisingly we were able to settle out of court due to her negotiations with the opposing counsel. Despite the high profile attorney of the opposing party she was not intimidated and performed well in the court room for the appearances we had. Her billing was reasonable and I did not feel "nickel and dimed" like I did by the previous attorney.

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.
