Bike Vs Car Accident

I was the victim of a bike vs. car accident back in September, and am so appreciative of Megan for handling the outcome for me.The accident left me injured, out of work, and with a stack of medical bills. My Initial thought was not to get a lawyer, I figured the responsible parties would be reasonabl...e and we could work it out in a sensible way. Very quickly I was brought to the reality of dealing with insurance companies. Suddenly the vehicle hitting me was my fault, they wanted me to make legal statements and questioned me as if I was the guilty party, when I was merely the victim . It was at this moment I realized I needed help dealing with the accident. If I had not contacted Megan I would have paid thousands of dollars in medical bills I was not responsible for. unfortunately, my experience taught me that this is not unusual in the insurance claim world, which was so foreign to me. Megan was recommended by a friend and avid cyclist, she is a true activist of the cause and incredibly committed to representing cyclists who deserve a fair chance in the car communing world. Megan was genuine, professional and amazing through out this unwanted experience. She allowed me to focus on getting better and back to work rather than dealing with bills and hour long conversations with the insurance company. Megan helped me settle the claim and I couldn't be happier with the outcome. Looking back on the situation I can't believe I was hesitant to contact her, as I couldn't imagine the stress I would be going through without her. thank you!!

Absolute success, professionalism, knowledge and expertise

Ms. Hottman represented me in a recent car crash claim where I suffered property damage. She impressed me with her quick attention to detail, her unmatched knowledge of the industry we were navigating, and her unbending dedication to working on the solution I needed. She succeeded in (painlessly to... me) achieving more from my settlement than I thought possible, and doing so with professionalism and courtesy and exactly the right amount of assertiveness, always controlling the process. I felt I was her top priority, though I know Ms. Hottman must be an incredibly busy woman as she is very well respected and sought. Ms. Hottman earned my trust and involved me in the necessary aspects of my case without overwhelming me. She stayed on top of my timeline, and anticipated my questions and needs, and I'm extremely confident that I could not have obtained a better outcome from any other attorney. I was particularly impressed with Ms. Hottman's desire to obtain what I needed, and be willing to fight for me. If I had to add a negative comment it would be that I am disappointed I didn't engage her sooner. Ms. Hottman and I live substantially far apart and this made absolutely zero negative impact in our work together. I would recommend her services without reservation.

A Calming Presence Throughout a Stressful Situation

I contacted Megan after being struck by a vehicle while commuting to work. I downplayed my injuries even after taken to the ER in an ambulance. All I wanted was to get better. Later that night when unable to sleep I decided to contact Ms Hottman. Filing a lawsuit was not on my mind at the time - I ha...d questions regarding many issues which Megan walked me through. She was patient, knowledgeable and trustworthy. I had full confidence in her when the at fault driver's insurance company became difficult, putting us with no alternative but to file suit. Thank you Megan for all you did for me!

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!"
