Megan is clearly a gifted attorney and passionate advocate for those trying to navigate the ever changing laws governing our educational system. She gave freely of her time to help me understand the impact of current education law as well as anticipate what might be coming and how to best respond. I...t is obvious she will go the extra mile to fight for her clients.

Relationship: Co-worker

"Megan is thoughtful, determined, strategic, and creative attorney. I got to know Megan when we worked together at U.S. Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights. Since that time, she's become a Title IX and ed law specialist who other attorneys consult when they are needing guidance or a new approach for a case. She is compassionate and sees the person behind the legal problem. A terrific lawyer!"

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.
