Poor Communication

I hired Megan Raymond for a minor speeding in a work zone case, my first ever offense. Most people would handle this themselves, but I wanted an attorney to help guide me through the process. From the start, communication was poor. When I first called, Megan was unavailable and Aaron handled sched...uling. He told me to call the Monday of my court week. I called Monday with no response, Tuesday with no response, and only got through when I asked for an operator and Aaron picked up again. Megan was polite when I finally spoke to her, but clearly rushed. She told me to be at court at 8am and wait for her. We never established a clear plan on where or how we would meet. She also instructed me to leave my phone in the car. I waited outside the courtroom for over 10 minutes, asking multiple attorneys if they were Megan. As my anxiety grew, I eventually went inside and waited another 50 minutes. Megan never showed. When I asked another attorney for help, they checked with the prosecutor and told me I had been marked as a no-show. I left the courthouse frustrated and called the firm. Aaron answered and immediately demanded payment for a future court date. This was a stressful and completely avoidable experience. Poor communication and lack of accountability. I would not recommend this firm.

Great lawyer vary good

Megan was a vary good lawyer vary caring and professional. she was able to get me court supervision when that shouldn't have been an option. I am vary great full to have met her and have her represent me. Just an outstanding lawyer all around.

Very Satisfied

I hired Attorney Megan Raymond for a number of business related start-up activities which needed to be completed ASAP in order for a significant business transaction to occur in a timely manner. She set up the LLC entity, Articles of Organization, Master Operating Agreement and obtained State and F...ederal Tax ID numbers, all in an expedited manner. This was done very competently, accurately and professionally under the very tight time schedule. She continues to handle the legal activities for the LLC. I wholeheartedly endorse Ms. Raymond as a hard working and professional attorney who also has solid communication abilities. Completely satisfied.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Megan and I worked together on a child custody dispute which ended up going to trial. I've worked with Megan in the past with great satisfaction, but this time I was even more impressed with her. Megan was extremely professional, and her work ethic and thoroughness proved crucial in securing our victory in the case. Megan was tireless in her preparation for trial, and it was reflected in the impeccable presentation she put forth. Megan's engagement with the client and witness prep allowed us to pull out the facts which best supported our position. Megan's prior trial experience was invaluable in navigating this case, and allowed us to gain praise from the judge. Megan's well thought out Closing was what, in my opinion, allowed us to win over the judge and drove home the salient facts we presented throughout the trial. Megan's knowledge of the law, work ethic, and interpersonal skills made her a joy to work with. I look forward to working with Megan in the future."

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I had the opportunity to observe Megan try cases during my time with the DuPage County State's Attorney's Office. Megan was always well prepared, thorough and conscientious. In addition, Megan was always courteous and civil to all participants, including witnesses, opposing counsel and the court. Her knowledge of the law and procedure coupled with her diligence and integrity has resulted in a very successful start to her career. I strongly endorse her and recommend her for anyone who is seeking legal representation."
