Determined and Compassionate

Hired Megan after consulting with 15+ attorneys about my divorce case. Her desire to do what is best for her client and the children involved is unrivaled. She tirelessly worked to finalize my divorce and ensure my family had a legal document that outlined boundaries to ensure my children would not b...e more negatively affected than needed and safe. She was organized. Communicated very well and remained firm when needed. My family will forever be grateful for the services and talent of Megan. I’m uncertain where we would be without her guidance.

So glad that I had her as my attorney

I did not have any previous experience with attorneys but Megan exceeded my expectations on almost all horizons. She knows when to do what, and she is able to do it with the highest level of efficiency that I can imagine. She is super professional and also easy to talk to personally. I know she wo...rks on many cases simultaneously, but what amazes me the most is that she always knows all the details about my case and she never messes things up. I wish I could have that ability in my own work, but I am afraid that is just her gift. I highly recommend Megan to anybody who needs a family lawyer.

I would NOT have made it through my divorce without Megan

While divorce is common, it's not common to me. It's certainly not a process with which I'm familiar by any stretch of the imagination. When I consulted with, and then hired, Megan I knew instantly that I made the correct choice. I was stressed out beyond belief and probably quite irrational. Megan m...anaged not just my divorce but also managed me really well and I knew exactly what was happening, what to expect, and how to act throughout the entire process. She's tenacious, exacting, and focused and made me feel like I was her only client whenever we spoke or had any communication. There are not enough superlatives for how I felt about her performance, the value of having been afforded the opportunity to work with her, her efficiency, and affability: most spectacular, most calming, most professional, most organized, most effective, most flexible, best recall for precedent, most timely, most relatable, etc., etc., etc.. The final outcome of my divorce was more than I ever hoped for as a father of a young child in a state that tends to favor the mother in divorce proceedings. I'm looking forward to a happy future instead of dwelling on anything I could have done differently in the divorce itself. That's solely and specifically because of the fact that Megan went above and beyond to get me way above and beyond what typically a father in a divorce would get with anyone else representing them. Of that, I'm sure.

So glad I had Megan on my case!

After 6 months of frustration of nothing being done by my previous attorney, I am so glad I got Megan Arthur to take my case. She jumped right in and got the visitation schedule done in a couple of days. I am so impressed by Megan's ability to be decisive, straight to the point, professional and bein...g able to get to a favorable resolution quickly in my very hard and contentious divorce and post-divorce matter. Megan is very experienced in "not so easy" cases and did an amazing job representing me. Megan responds to communications very promptly and is always eager to listen to her client's concerns. She provides clear explanations of what she is doing in representing you. I cannot be happier with my decision to retain her.

She's good, really good

I am a father to a very young daughter that found himself facing an immediate divorce. I hired Ms Megan Arthur to represent me with my divorce & custody of my daughter. I needed someone that would take my case as seriously as I was. Megan lived up to my expectations. I wanted to avoid conflict as... much as possible because I knew that I'd still be co-parenting with my former spouse. But I also knew that I had to have someone to look out for my, and my daughter's, best interests. Megan helped me walk that fine line and keep that delicate balance. When things outside of my control went sideways with my former spouse, and I mean seriously sideways, Megan gave me the straight forward advise that I needed. I followed her advise and was able to able to show my former spouse that I wasn't going to roll over. Ultimately I was able to get a fair and reasonable outcome that I was happy with. If I had hired anyone else I don't know if I would have gotten the favorable results that I had. I would recommend Ms Megan Arthur without hesitation.
