Determined. Dedicated. Focused. As an attorney, and as a person, I am defined by these characteristics. Born in Iowa to two teachers, I relocated to Florida with my mother when I was six years old, two years after my father passed away. The daughter of a single mother, I was also an older sister, who strived to be the second set of hands my mother needed. I was determined to be the best I could be in everything I did, was dedicated to succeeding in school, and was focused on my path to a successful future.
My determination, dedication, and focus followed me when I attended Flagler College in St. Augustine, Florida, where I graduated with a double major in Elementary/Deaf Education in 2004. One year after this I graduated from the University of Florida with my Masters Degree in Education and proceeded to teach Deaf and Hard of Hearing students for the following three years. I will always be a teacher at heart, but something was missing. In 2008, my inner drive to do more to help others took over and I began my path to a law degree. In 2011, I graduated with my law degree from the University of Florida and passed the Florida bar that same year.
I began my career as a lawyer for Florida's Guardian ad Litem Program advocating for the best interests of children who had been abused, abandoned, or neglected. However, again my determination, dedication and focus took over and I decided to expand my law career and took and passed the Kentucky bar. I am now a licensed lawyer in the State of Florida and the State of Kentucky. After more than five years with the Guardian ad Litem Program, I joined JMP Law, P.A.
Although I now have the words “Attorney at Law” behind my name in two states, I am so much more than this. I am a daughter, a sister, and a wife. I am a dedicated, determined, and focused individual that wants to use these characteristics to help others in need of advocacy.

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.

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...

Posted by Melissa | March 26, 2018 | Hired Attorney | Child Custody
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 ...

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...
"Megan is the hardest-working attorney I know. As a highly talented family law litigator with a deeply ingrained sense of justice, she is exactly who you want in your corner."
"I have worked closely with Megan for several years consulting on dependency cases, family law cases, and she was a guardian ad litem on cases. During my time working with Megan, I have found her to be extremely knowledgable in her area of law, and a valuable resource. I always found her to be hard working, diligent, and has a great attention to detail. I endorse this lawyer."
