Knowledgeable and Fast

I consulted with Megan on a probate issue regarding my deceased grandmother's home. Megan provided excellent advice, and was very helpful. She was able to help solve the issue so the property could be sold. I would recommend Megan to anyone seeking assistance with probate.

Professional and Personal Service

Megan Selvey was referred to us by our daughter. Upon consulting her for our services, we found her professional and very informative about our legal needs. She was not forceful in her methods and only offered us what we required. In addition, she provided the services we required in a timely fashi...on. I would and have highly recommended Ms. Selvey to anyone seeking her services!

"Megan's compassion for her clients, strong legal background, and careful attention to detail make her an exceptional elder law and special needs attorney. It is clear that to Megan, her job is about more than just providing excellent counsel--it is about ensuring her clients feel comfortable, confident, and cared for as they navigate or prepare for potentially difficult circumstances.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
