WRONGFUL DEATH

MEGAN WAS A GOD SENT TO OUR FAMILY AFTER THE TRAGIC DEATH OF OUR LOVED ONE. SHE WAS VERY PATIENT AND UNDERSTANDING OF OUR FEELINGS AND CONCERNS. SHE AND HER FIRM TOOK OUR CASE AND RAN WITH IT. SHE ADVISED US WITH CARING AND COMPASION THE WHOLE JOURNEY. WHEN WE FELT OVERWHELMED SHE ASSURED US THAT WE ...COULD GET THROUGH IT. WE RECCOMMEND HER AND THE WHOLE FIRM TO ANYONE FOR THEIR LEGAL NEEDS. SHE IS A ROCKSTAR AT WHAT SHE DOES.

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.
