Consummate Hardworking Law Professional

The out-of-state guardianship case of my granddaughter was successfully handled with such care and expertise that it completely exceeded my expectations. Atty Megan Wieland-Pulayya kept me informed, and handled all of the legal requirements without haste. She got me and my husband before a judge and ...secured the court order in time for me to successfully enroll my granddaughter in her new school without missing a day. Whew…so glad we hired this skilled and savvy attorney!

Exceptional

Megan from day one was knowledgeable in all aspects of my divorce case. She answered all my questions and explained to me how the case would go. She was very patient with me. Every time I asked her questions about my case and pestered her on when my divorce would be over she calmly told me to be pati...ent and explained how the time frame would work. She did everything she could during this covid 19 pandimic. I'm very grateful for he hard work amd dedication.

Organized & Committed

Ms. Wieland-Pulayya served as one my attorneys during both my child support and custody cases. Always answered any questions I had, both promptly and professionally. She ultimately assisted in driving both of my cases towards the outcome that I desired, in a timely manner. I highly recommend Ms. Wiel...and-Pulayya!

Honest, fair, genuine and hard-working.

She represented me and my husband in custody and child support hearings. She is very honest and blunt and will give you a realistic analysis of the situation and not just tell you what you want to hear. She is not the type of lawyer that will charge you for every little thing to squeeze every penny ...out of you. She worked hard to be available to us even though we were not in the same state or sometimes even timezone. She worked hard and late into the night to work on last minute developments in trying to get a smooth outcome. She always had our best interests in mind with every action we took. She was thorough in researching every aspect of our case and reviewing the portions we filed pro se. She was always willing to explain things we did not understand, clarify any confusions, she always laid out all the options and provided her realistic expectation for each of those options based on her experience and would be a zealous advocate no matter what option we chose. She always got back to us very quickly whenever we reached out to her. She was extremely well-prepared at every step and we always felt very comfortable speaking with her no matter how sensitive the information was. Her level of professionalism is rarely seen. Her demeanor is very supportive and understanding which is extremely helpful given the level of emotion some of these issues can be. I am so glad we hired her and we will use her in any future litigation. I cannot recommend her enough.

Very thorough!

Megan represented us in a recent child support case. She took the time to give us a thorough explanation of all the possible court proceedings. She was very prepared to attend to any situation that could have come up in front of the judge. I was impressed with her level of preparedness. Her kind..., compassionate demeanor made this stressful situation a little bit easier to navigate. I would highly recommend her for any family situation that requires the advice, guidance and representation of an attorney.
