Hey, I actually found Keifer&Keifer off of a Facebook ad! And Megan responded to my submission right away! I spoke with Megan in April and my case was done by August. She started working right away. She set me up with a Chiropractor same week I hired her. I seen the doctor the next week. Each time I called or texted her she had a new update! The advise she given me thought out the whole process was wonderful. I would recommend her to anyone. I will go back to her if I ever needed her again.

When you need a champion
When the vagaries of life rear up and kick you in the teeth if you’re thinking about making that one call you’d be well advised to contact Megan Kiefer at Kiefer and Kiefer Law Firm as I did after being given the number of Kiefer and a Kiefer by a friend who spoke glowing of the manner in which they had handled a case for his mother. In such times you need a fighter who prioritizes their client - with Megan etal that’s exactly what you get and pardon the expression if you will but Megan won’t hesitate to kick butt and take names. For the non professional who isn’t well versed in speech that is deemed politically correct or the language of legalize When injured it ain’t no party, it ain’t no disco, life and equitable solutions are what it’s about.

Megan Kiefer Highly recommended Lawyer
Megan Kiefer, as my Attorney in my case against one of the most powerful company in the US made this experience the least traumatic as possible. The case: A Slip and Fall that caused me a painful broken nose, and many painful sleepless nights.... Megan Kiefer, from the first to the last visit has been a wonderful listener , she has been very clear in her explanations, and well spoken , her personality made communication very easy . Megan Kiefer , quickly drawn the most important facts that she received from me, and from the opposition to build the case. But most of all to win the case . Megan Kiefer is very persuasive and very kind. I always felt good and convinced that she will win the case in my favor, and she did it! Thank you Megan, My first language being French you made it easy for me, and always gave me enough time to express myself . Thank you for your patience. Merci beaucoup MCK ,

A pedestrian injury case Megan was a great choice.
Megan was sincere and honest in discussing possible outcomes of my case. She listened to me and seemed to understand my perspective. Megan was helpful with all of my questions or concerns and I felt comfortable each time we spoke. I highly recommend her skill and so appreciated her caring spirit. I was also very satisfied with the outcome of my case.

Kiefer is a keeper!
Megan is on top of her game! She handled my claim impeccably. She went out of her way to always keep me updated through texts, e-mails and phone calls when she could have easily passed that on through her secretary or an assistant. She is truly a standout in her profession. I highly recommend her. Thank you, Megan!

My attorney is better than yours
From day one, Megan exceeded expectations. I’ve never needed to hire an attorney before, but when I was hit driving down the crazy streets of Nola, I found myself in need of one. TV lawyers not really being my style, I perused Facebook and found Kiefer & Kiefer. When I communicated to her that I couldn’t really meet her at her office due to my car being in the shop, she offered to come to me. She gave me a consultation and we discussed my case at length. I always felt like I was being heard and that my concerns were being addressed. She never excluded me from anything and always kept me in the loop. Megan really went above and beyond for me. I was called, texted, and emailed updates. If something was delayed, she always told me the reason behind it. I truly believe she had my back and my best interests at heart. I would hire her again in a second. She’s earned my trust.

Personable, attentive, empathetic, and fair - A Great Lawyer
I was very impressed with Megan. From the very fast response to my initial inquiry ( I found her through a web search) to the consistent timely and complete responses to all my questions, she handled my case professionally and more attentively than I even expected. She kept me informed the whole way - so much so that I don't think that I ever had to check in or ask for an update (which I think is exceedingly rare). She was more than fair with our terms. I can HIGHLY recommend her from my experience of working with her this year (2019) ......

Don’t waste your time with any other lawyer!
I wish I had found Megan before I hired my previous attorney. Dealing with multiple incidents, I hired attorney (X) in hopes to take care of my case. Unfortunately 2 years past and a finger was not lifted. THANKFULLY, I found Megan approaching my 3rd year since the accident. She was professional and friendly. She was able to take on a complex case that had been stagnant for years and get it moving quickly. Not to mention accommodate for my adjusting lifestyle as a new mom. She broke stuff down and explained everything in a way that someone could understand without needing to know much about law. Every step of the way she kept me update and made sure I felt comfortable with what was going on. She didn’t see me as a pawn to make a lot of money off of, but rather someone who wanted to put this mess in my past and start again. In less than a year, Megan was able to close my case(s), and I couldn’t be more relieved and happy it’s finally over. I’m excited to take my experience with Megan and my outcome and invest into my future.

The best
Megan's reviews speak for them selves. She is the best. She is so down to earth, cool and layed back. If you want a lawyer who will answer your calls, text and emails, EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM and sometimes within minutes, someone who will break everything down to you and help you understand, then shes your lawyer. Shes top 10 and in our country and our state and I've witnessed why! I had to let my first lawyer go. I found megan and didnt need to turn anywhere else. She was there for me every step of the way. Took my case and worked fast on it and got me more than expected. She isnt a lawyer with those phoney commercials misleading you, she gives you her cell number and is there for you her self, not her assistant.. she deserves more than 5 stars. I highly recommend!!! You will be very very very pleased with Megan. Small family firm that treats you purely like family! She works very to put every penny she can in your pocket. Just simply the BEST!

Fantastic
Megan made a really bad experience with a landlord so much easier. She was able to get the landlord to respond and return my deposit within a week, even though I had been trying for more than a month. Megan was very down to earth and easy to talk to. She responded to all of my emails and calls and made the experience so much easier!

"I have known Megan personally and professionally for more than 6 years. Megan and I were co-counsel in a slip and fall matter against a national department store whose negligence caused significant personal injuries to our client. And, to make matters worse, in an effort to conceal their negligent conduct, the national department store destroyed critical video footage of the accident necessary to our claim. The matter settled after trial but before the jury returned a verdict. I wholeheartedly endorse Megan as an attorney and I look forward to working with her again in the future."
