DUI Client

Megan's fee was reasonable and Was very pleased with the outcome of my case

Posted by Carina | November 16, 2014 | Criminal Defense

Trustworthy, personal and very knowledgeable!!

I would always hire or recommend Megan Blancho as lawyer. She worked very hard to get me the best outcome in my felony case. During the whole process of it, Ms. Blancho was at all time approachable, knowledgeable and helpful. I was able to have her as my lawyer, because she was willing to work with... my financial situation, for which I'm very thankful.

Five-Star Service

Ms. Blancho is very knowledgeable and provided outstanding assistance. She was very patient during an extremely difficult time for me (death of my husband). She provided excellent advice on my husband's will and future estate planning for my future. Highly recommended!

Review of Megan

Immediately upon my first consultation with Mrs. Blancho she anticipated the potential problem areas of our case and displayed a highly skilled and well trained approach rendering quick and decisive actions with satisfactory results. Her great personal commitment to quality is further appreciated as ...she carefully planned, organized, and executed successful negations and compromise thus converting those ideas into positive action. We are truly thankful for her services and skills, her long-standing record of credibility beyond doubt speaks for itself.

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"Megan and I were involved in many cases on opposite sides when she was a prosecutor in Norfolk, VA. I found her to be extremely thorough in her trial preparation, and ready to respond to any legal argument I might present. I can only think that she brings that same drive and determination in representing her Florida clients, now from the other side of the table."

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.
