Amazing to work with

Megan has been amazing to work with! She has made us feel like her only client and been great at walking us through the process. We highly recommend for any family type of law, you will not be disappointed!

Excellent!

Hands down the best decision was to hire Megan. She is not only friendly and easy to work with, but upfront and transparent, leaving out any guesswork and not stringing me along. Responses and actions were prompt and accurate. I felt confident working with her in the past and she'll be my first ca...ll if needed in the future.

Honest, direct and compassionate

Megan assisted me in perhaps the hardest time of my life regarding my divorce and specifically my child custody battle. She was honest with me regarding my position in the case and what results I could expect. Her knowledge of child custody laws was vast and I felt that I was represented by a prof...essional who could safely guide me through emotional muddy waters. I would recommend her to anyone who has to suffer thru a divorce, especially if there are children involved. Megan listened to my questions, calmed my fears and stayed in constant communication with me throughout the process. Rarely was I left wondering "what's next?". I consider my choice of her as my legal representation and council the correct one and feel that she truly cared about me and my case. On a lighter note.... I was impressed with her "yanking of the reigns" at times during my case. Most divorces are messy and emotional. There were times I had "fight" in me that would have cost me both financially and emotionally. This fight would have likely yielded unwanted results in the end. Megan was knowledgeable to see that and direct enough to stop me from proceeding down those paths. Thanks for saving me the stress (and the money) Megan. - Dan

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.
