Best of the best attorney in Megan Wallin

I honestly cannot imagine anyone else handling my divorce. Megan is as professional as they come, incredibly knowledgeable, explained everything to me as many times as I needed it explained, fought for myself and my boys but also held back when I asked. She is a force in the legal world; but is also ...a kind and loving human being and that was important to me and my children during this huge life event. I would recommend her to absolutely anyone looking for a divorce or family law attorney.

Divorce modification/mediation

Megan was extremely professional, prepared and knowledgeable with my case. She continually followed up with the opposing lawyer when they did not respond in a timely manner. She made sure I understood every step of the mediation process and with her guidance my ex-husband and I were able to reach a d...ivorce modification agreement thus avoiding the need to go to court.

Professional, and honestly caring

This is my second time working with a lawyer. My first time was not a good experience so I was nervous when it came time to have to find one again. I was updating visitation, child support, etc. Megan was very professional, explained everything to where I understood and offered up great advise to hel...p me get through all this. She made the entire process easier to deal with. I was comfortable talking with her about things and even asking her advice on a few. If you are looking for someone who is honest and dependable, think of no one else. If I ever do need a lawyer again, I will definitely be using her again.

Great attorney

Megan helped me with my modification of child support and visitation. She is very knowledgeable and caring and was very responsive to my e-mails and phone calls even after the case was done. I would definitely recommend her to others and will use her in the future if I need further legal help.

Handled with Dignity and Caring

It was in our first telephone conversation that I was able to identify that Megan was highly efficient and about the business of helping. Prior to our unscheduled telephone conversation, Megan had already reviewed my file and familiarized herself with the details. She was able to lay out a framework ...for how we would proceed, and she communicated the plan clearly with the right balance of legal speak and layman's terminology. Over the course of a few months, Megan exemplified a consistent pattern of preparedness, efficiency, and strategic planning on my case. If her professionalism was the cake, Megan's warmth and kindness were the icing and cherry on top. In every communication, no matter the mode, Megan made a point to ask about me - how I was doing. There was no rote to her asking, but rather, Megan demonstrated a genuine kindness and concern for my well-being. She asked about my support system and made sure that I knew she was available to me if needed. I experienced a whirlwind of emotions in the course of my recent legal proceedings, and although my personal situation was not overly contentious, it was no less disheartening and discouraging at times. What a blessing I found in Megan, who handled not just my case, but my person, with the utmost dignity and genuine caring.
