What has she not done?
Extremely helpful in communicating the case diagnostics. A veritable asset to have in your corner. Successfully expunged the charges against myself. What has she not done? I can't express my thanks enough.

Megan is the BEST!
I've worked with Megan closely for years and witnessed her deliver extraordinary results in case after case. She is brilliant, clever, and strategic. Most importantly, no one can ever outwork Megan Rue. She is a force of nature. She even represented me in a minor speeding ticket and got me out of it!...

Courthouse advocate
Meg is a very motivated attorney; she fights for her clients. She has helped me with First Amendment issues that appeared in criminal cases. You don’t meet many people with her level of dedication.

Solid support
Megan knows her stuff and really helped out in a case against dirty cops who love fascists.
Megan Rue's Lawyer Endorsements
"Megan and I have had the opportunity to work together on several legal matters for clients. Unequivocally, I have always found Megan to be prepared and creative in her approach to advocating for her clients. She is exceptionally bright and aggressively defends her clients' interests. She gets incredible results by putting in the work most other lawyers won't do."
"I met Megan through a program for future indigent defense leaders in Texas, and Megan certainly is one. She is smart, dedicated, and thorough, but most importantly she genuinely cares about each and every client. She looks for the unique side of each case in order to make it stand out to the judge, prosecutor, or jury, insuring that none of her clients get lost in the piles of files dealt with each day. I am excited to keep working with her."
"I endorse this lawyer. Megan is a dedicated advocate for her clients. She sincerely cares about defending their rights. She co-leads the Texoma Region of the National Lawyers Guild, which I think shows a commitment to helping others. She is a lawyer for all the right reasons, and is an all-around good person!"
"Megan Rue is a rising star in the Travis County criminal defense bar. She is tenacious and hard-working. Megan works at all hours to secure jail release for our clients and dedicates countless evenings and late nights advocating for our clients in jail release matters. Megan is also highly experienced in pretrial motion work and bonding. She has developed legal theories in multiple cases that have resulted in our clients avoiding serious sentences. I heartily endorse Ms. Rue."
"Megan Rue is one of the rising stars in the criminal defense community in Austin. Her professionalism, work ethic, and commitment to justice for her clients is unmatched among her peers. I recommend her unreservedly."
