Hands down ! Excellent/ Professional/ Tough

I have nothing but the most utmost respect for Mr. Megraw. I just finished up with my divorce and it was one that was not easy . He was aggressive but professional in every aspect and never backed down. He answered all my questions and concerns that I had in a timely manner and always kept me infor...med of every step. The day going into court he was 100% prepared for battle and assured me everything would be ok. I would hire him over and over again I can NOT EXPRESS MY GRATITUDE ENOUGH! If you are looking for a professional tough attorney he is the one!

Mr

Do your self a favor and hire Rob Megraw if your going through a divorce , not only will he explain things to you on a down to earth level but in a very understanding way . I was faced with my children potentially being moved and hour away from me and Rob did and unbelievable job of getting the motio...n to relocate thrown out. I cant recommend him enough .

Family

I whole heartedly would reccomend him to anyone, let's start with the back story... So I left my fiance after I had my son for reasons and got a no good lawyer who wouldn't answer me for anything, my dad even tried getting ahold of him. The only good thing that came from that lawyer was this amazi...ng lawyer. Anyways a week before court Copley finally messaged me saying he could not represent me any longer due to reasons. He gave me robs information sent mine to him and a week before court he got up to date and helped me with my custody battle. Hes an amazing lawyer and I wouldn't of made it through this whole process without him. I would highly recommend him to anyone! Hes a life saver. It was quick and easy. :)

I do not recommend

In the beginning, I believed Rob was a great attorney. My case was a dramatic one from the other party. My children were not being thought of. I reached out to Rob regarding a copy of my final custody judgement and to discuss modification. Rob said he was unable to obtain a copy of the final judem...ent and he never reached back regarding modification. Rob said I could obtain a copy of the official judgement from the court. He took my last check and his job was done, and left unfinished. Now, here I am, a year and 1 month later, I am going back for a modification after substantial evidence. The attorney I have hired has been able to print off an official copy of my judegment I haven't ever seen. I have now missed my children's birthdays as the official judgement states I should have gotten them, which it doesn't state in the unofficial copy I was given by Rob. Rob wrote the plan to be finalized after judgement. My judgement states it is filed in Clay County, but held in Platte County. Very disappointing

Dear Anonymous. I'm terribly disappointed to read of your experience. Please reach out to my office so I may better understand who you are, what you expected of me and what I could have done better to help you. Perhaps there is still something I can do. I'm having a hard time remembering or understanding what happened in your case by this review alone but I'm happy to do whatever I can to make it right with you.

Preliminary support

Robert was so amazingly helpful during our introductory call. He asked detailed questions, understood the situation and his sincerity, expertise, and positive approach was obvious. If I move forward with further need of this issue or future issues, Robert will be my first call.
