Very Professional

Megan David was very professional and answered all my questions. She was successful in settling my lawsuit . I would definitely recommend her to my friends and family.

Hire her!

When I got in a bad wreck last year because someone ran a stop sign, it was a nightmare working with the other insurance company. I knew immediately when it came to the personal injury part of the claim they were going to try to pay as little as conceivably possible. So I called Megan David. With onl...y a quick phone call she started working on the case right away. She kept me updated throughout and took all of the hassle off of my shoulders. When the insurance company predictably made a teensy offer that barely covered expenses she fought back and ended up getting me the maximum payout. I wouldn’t hesitate to call her again.

Insurance industry knowledge and persistence pays off!

I contacted Megan when a teenager ran into my car, sending me to the emergency room and totaling the vehicle. The next day I received a call from the driver's insurance company. It was clearly their fault, so would I accept $7,500 for the "accident"? It is a good thing I didn't, as the charge for ...the emergency room visit would arrive a few days later for $7,000. My neck and back hurt and I was unable to sit for more than 45 minutes at a time. I missed several days of work and had to visit a chiropractor for 6 months, plus do follow-ups with a pain specialist. Megan explained the games insurance companies play, and that the process to collect would take several months. The next offer was for $15,000. Double, but still not enough to cover medical. She persisted, and they delayed for a few more months. Next, she told them we would file a lawsuit. They quickly agreed to a $30K settlement. I'm so glad I didn't take their original offer. Too bad for that insurance company - I like their commercials, but they don't play fair. Glad I had Megan to help hold them accountable.

Great Service!!!

Megan did a wonderful job with my case. I was going to end up paying when I was the one that got hit....but when I hired Megan, she made sure that I got paid instead! She was in communication with me ALL the time and kept me up to date on everything that was going on. She handled my case very well an...d I was very happy with the outcome. Super nice & friendly person....loved her attitude and friendliness. Thank you Megan for everything!

A successful case win

Megan David believed in my case from day one when four other Attorneys said it was impossible to take it on. Megan’s follow up and concern was always compassionate and responsible by keeping in the loop what was to come. She told me the truth regarding my odds of receiving compensation but was with... me until the end. Although many factors were not in my favor she remained positive. She help many times over by allowing me to receive medical treatment which was filed as a “Letter of Protection” and that burden was lifted from me. She is extremely knowledgeable regarding personal injury cases and fought for me every step of the way. We did succeed and the case is now closed. My medical debt was paid off and I’m now able to have future medical surgeries where I can focus on healing and not finances. I’ve had lawyers since I was a small girl regarding personal injury some that are quite influential. Megan is a great attorney and will work tirelessly for you with heartfelt respect and concern for your legal rights.
