Client Perspective

I hired Megan Sheer after meeting with several of the top family law attorneys in Denver. My case was high conflict with custody and assets involved. It was the most stressful time in my life. She and her team did an excellent job. What set her apart was her understanding of my family’s needs, her ab...ility to advocate for my children, and her knowledge of the process. She guided me through everything with a sense of expertise that put me at ease. My divorce is final now and I am fully satisfied with the services provided by Megan and her office. Her paralegal team was also excellent and helped me immeasurably with all of the paperwork and disclosures.

Excellent

Megan has been a savior for us in a very high conflict case. I'm not sure how we would have gone through the past few years without her help. Simply put, she treats every decision and fight as if she were making and doing it for her own family and children.

Divorce

I hired Ms. Sherr for a divorce proceeding. She had me hire an outside financial consultant as this was not part of her expertise. I realized going through the process that I received poor or mis-information from her where it involved financial issues when the outside consultant was not there or co...nsulted.

Megan is an excellent attorney

Megan Sherr is a really fantastic lawyer. When we found her, our case was in very poor shape. We'd been badly represented by our prior attorneys and our chid was really suffering. My ex was extremely aggressive and our prior attorneys had failed to respond to a motion that left our child unprotect...ed on issues that were important for his overall well-being. Megan stepped in and was very clear, explaining to us all of our options in plain english. She was extremely smart and her strategies were often spot on. She'd also listen to us and incorporate our suggestions when she thought it would make our case stronger. She kept our child at the forefront (something our other attorneys did not) which was so important for what he needed at that time of his life. When it came down to it, she advocated for strongly for him, calling out the dangerous behavior my ex was engaging in. In the end she turned our case around 100% (with the support a good team) and we got everything we asked for for our child, and more. I'll never forget that moment in court, as the judge was reading the ruling, the enormous relief I felt at having prevailed (knowing my child would have what he needed to thrive) after months of very intense stress. I strongly recommend Megan to you.

Excellent Lawyer

I'm currently a client of Ms. Sherr's and couldn't be happier with her perfessionalism and knowledge of the law. This has been a nasty divorce at best and Ms. Sherr has always been straight forward and honest. She has never sugar coated anything and explained everything in great detail. She follow...s up quickly and thoroughly. She is willing to be tough when necessary and has been helpful to me through the whole proceedings, and helping with issues that aren't always divorce related.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I unreservedly and enthusiastically endorse Megan. I have had the pleasure to work with her over many years on a number of challenging cases where I was the mediator and she represented one of the divorcing parties. Megan's easy empathy and extraordinary concern and care for her client is evident throughout her representation. At the same time, she is extremely bright and creative and she offers constructive and realistic approaches to settlement discussions -- a sometimes rare and enormously beneficial-to-the-client approach. I consider Megan one of a very few Denver area family law attorneys possessing the skills of client patience, focus and advocacy, settlement realism and creative brilliance. She is simply a uniquely talented family law attorney."
