Practice Areas

Constitutional 50%

I defend municipalities against claims that they have violated an individual's constitutional rights, typically in the employment context. Most of the litigation I am involved with is in federal court.

50%
Employment and Labor 25%

I advise employers on all aspects of employment law, from discrimination to wage and hour, from FMLA to non-competes, and everything in between. I focus on problem solving to avoid litigation. If litigation becomes necessary, however, I vigorously defend my clients in federal and state courts and federal, state and local administrative forums.

She has proactively ensured that our company is compliant regarding our handbook, meeting privacy and security policies, and the myriad other items that fall under the scope of HR. Her recommendations are balanced and reasonable and take into account ...responsibilities on the part of the employer as well as the employee. Meg has always responded to our requests for advice with thorough, probing questions to ensure that she has a solid understanding of the issue we are dealing with. Her advice is always carefully considered and to the point. Our company is truly confident that our trust in Meg's competencies is not misplaced.

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.
