Highly Recommend

Megan was very thorough and reassuring throughout my extended divorce process. She advocated for me and my kids, with everything I needed, as well as for things I didn’t know I needed. She was patient, understanding, and supportive with me wanting to take the the easiest route possible; to eventuall...y having to go the route of going to court. I highly recommend Megan for those that need help with simple, straight forward divorces, to divorces that unfortunately involve contention.

I couldn't have picked a better lawyer.

I hired Megan Wallin to assist me with a divorce from my wife; we are a same sex couple and had a 1 year old child together. Although my name is on his birth certificate I didn’t have any legal rights to my son (since I didn’t carry) and Megan went above and beyond to make sure I didn’t lose him. My ...divorce wasn't pretty but when things got hard, Megan just worked harder. There was nothing I worried about that scared her. She showed absolutely no fear as my ex-wife really went out of her way to paint me like I was a bad parent and a bad partner; but she believed every word I said. She was invested in my case from our first meeting. I am so glad I hired a lawyer that was doing her job, but didn’t make me feel like I was just another client. She cared about my case. To say she went "above and beyond" for me is an understatement. Hiring her was the best decision I could have made, for both myself and my son.

!!! Highly Recommended !!!

I hired Megan for modifications to child support and parenting plan, and I couldn’t be happier to have made that decision. She navigated the waters of dealing with my uncooperative, sometimes downright rude ex-spouse in an impressive manner, and got things done for me. Out of all attorneys I have d...ealt with (and there have been many), Megan was, by far, the most responsive, most professional, and most transparent. My emails were answered within 24 hours, and she was always willing to take a phone call if I had any questions.

Absolutely AMAZING Attorney!

For several years I’ve worked with several other attorneys on multiple court cases, and have never been happy with the final outcome. I knew going into my last case that I wanted to hire an attorney who was very knowledgeable and skilled, who would fight for us, and get the case done ASAP! Immediatel...y during my initial consultation I knew Megan Wallin was absolutely THE attorney to handle this case so I retained her immediately the next morning! I felt very confident with her knowledge in my very complex case. She did a phenomenal job explaining things to me, advising me as we went along with all aspects of my case. She responded very quickly to any questions I had, and I really loved her "professional yet still personable" attitude. I most definitely highly recommend Megan to anyone, especially if family law is involved. I know she 100% always kept our best interests at heart, and did an excellent job keeping my mind at ease! You definitely won't be disappointed with Megan by your side :)

Step-Parent Adoption and Termination of Rights

I hired Megan after talking with several Attorney’s. Megan was the only attorney that I talked to that believed this Step-Parent adoption and termination of rights could happen. She sat down with my Husband and me several times and explained in detail what would, could and should happen. She responde...d to calls and emails in a timely manner. She is very informative, and self-confident! I believe if this case would have turned into the fight that I expected, she would have stood her ground. I do see a fighter in her, she will go above and beyond, is very honest & sticks with the facts! We will recommend Megan, and use her again if the need arises. She most certainly helped complete my Family!
