Horrible with communication
Started out great....then all of a sudden, I couldn't get her to respond to anything for sometimes 4-5 weeks. Unless it was an automatic response via Email that she was on vacation. Her assistant isn't helpful at all, every time I communicated with her it was like it was her first day on the job. Too...

No communication, no drive, no morals
When I dealt with an intense custody battle, I could not get a hold of Megan for days or weeks at a time. She would ignore emails & calls entirely and only respond when convenient to her.

Excellent attorney
Megan is a top notch attorney! She worked hard and accomplished everything we set out to do. The only thing I would say that could be improved on, at times she was hard to get a hold of to answer questions I had about the process or things my ex was doing that I had issue with.
"I have had Megan as opposing counsel on more than one occasion and always found her to be a great advocate for her clients, knowledgeable on the law, and well prepared. I have sent potential clients to Megan when I've had a conflict, so I do not hesitate to endorse her."
"I endorse this lawyer. Megan is a fantastic addition to the Lawton & Cates Family Law team. She is very courteous and concientious in her work with clients. She is very knowledgeable and assertive with opposing counsel. Her tact allows her to be aggressive without being offensive, which produces good results for her clients."
