Just what I needed

I was struck by a car while going through a green light and having my forearm snapped in half while out riding. I have only partial memory of what happened after being hit. I do not even remember the ambulance ride to the hospital. After having surgery and heading home, a friend recommended I contact... Megan to help deal with the insurance company. I had never contacted a lawyer before in my life and was a bit unsure at first. However, after speaking on the phone with Megan for close to an hour I decided I needed her on my side. Megan always kept me well informed and encouraged me to get the treatment I deserved to help me heal. After a long battle with the insurance company, they finally agreed to pay. I would not have been able to do this without Megan. She took the entire thing by the horns and wouldn't back down until things were made right. If you are on the fence about hiring a lawyer after being hit by a car, do your self a favor and contact Megan today! Thank you so much Megan!

Best Decision We Made was Hiring Megan!

Hiring Megan after I was nearly killed in a bike/auto accident last summer was the smartest decision I could have made. From our very first phone call to discuss the case through final settlement, I could not have asked for better representation. At our first face to face meeting, Megan promised my w...ife and I that she would treat us just as she would like to be treated as a client. We immediately felt as if we were under Megan's protection and knew with her on our side, everything would turn out all right. Megan has taken care of us as if we were family, making us feel safe, informed, and looked after throughout the entire process. Megan is the rare talent who completely connects and empathizes with her clients while keeping the professional barrier intact. Megan was 110% professional and at the same time gave us a level of service we would have expected from a close friend or family member. She fought hard to get us a maximum payout while also helping us adjust to life after the accident, always encouraging us to focus on the good and to remain strong. We can't thank Megan enough for the help and support she has given us since the accident and subsequent recovery. Megan was the tough, smart, professional attorney we needed to stand up to the insurance companies and their lawyers, going above and beyond to fight for compensation and truly making us feel like we were her #1 priority at all times. Megan is single-handedly redefining what to expect from a personal injury lawyer, or any lawyer for that matter. On top of her kickass legal skills, Megan sincerely cares about her clients and is there to support you through the emotional/physical hurdles of recovery, long after the case has closed. - Seth (Trauma 10 accident victim, July 2013) and Maggie

Personal injury lawyer | Apr 03

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I admire Ms. Hottman's combination of her true passion, cycling, with her profession. She is as dedicated to her clients as any attorney can be. Because of her niche practice and specific focus on helping injured cyclists, she is precisely in tune with representing fellow cyclists and couldn't be more personally aware of the unique injuries and needs of cyclists. She is absolutely the go-to authority for bicycling law. I would not refer any injured bicyclist to anyone else!"
