Posted by Paris | October 26, 2020 | Hired Attorney | Probate

Class Act

Meghan has the attention to detail, willingness to listen, and resolution efficiency that are not found in many attorneys today. From the beginning, Meghan has been instrumental in estate assistance; particularly when considering it is one of the most difficult times in a person's life. Meghan respon...ds with care and compassion for the situation, whereas some attorneys never even offer correspondence and call back. In this day and age, it is rare to have the caliber of attorney she is. Highly recommended; at points in life of someone's passing it is too much too handle without a professional like Meghan.

Estate Planning

Meghan was easy to schedule with, sent me all the forms I needed to plan for my will and such. I was a little nervous going in to the meeting just because we'll, I was planning for my death . But she put me at ease, answered all questions and made the whole process quite painless. I completely recomm...end Meghan to anyone in need of estate planning in the Murrells Inlet area.
