Would absolutely not recommend

Pros- Nice woman Con- I expressed, and asked, in our first meeting, “I am concerned that with the Attorney fee, that may cut into receiving reimbursement for all the medical expenses paid out of pocket.”. I was advised that by Megan that she is skilled in Negociation of the dollars down in what i...s owed, and working with insurance company. My out of pocket for medical bills was $19,000. After Megan’s legal fees (we meditated based on her advice) I received $4,000. Which means that in addition to several $1,000 of medical bills that I was unable to pay ( which now have ruined my credit) there was $15,000 that I paid in medical expenses that instead being refunded to me, Megan’s % ( $5,850) meant this was a lose, lose situation. I should never have used Megan. Stress and health problems continue to increase how much the accident ( that was clearly fault of other driver) cost financially (2018 dental surgery cost me $36k out of pocket which required home refinance to pull equity and at higher interest) mental ( both my daughter and I suffered brain damage that still persists today) and emotional ( brain damage brings personalitiy changes, which significantly changed my daughter, our relationship and how we function in the world) Using Megan was a lose-lose-lose

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.

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.
