Hire her!

Working with Megan was great! She is very communicative, kind, and to the point. She is efficient and follows up quickly. She explained the divorce process in a way I could understand coming from no legal background. She also took my legal insurance, which was such a relief.

The Best!!!!

She made me feel like I was here only client in her care and concern coupled with her expertise in tenant/landlord law! She did all the right things with disciplined and thorough preparation and we were totally prepared when we went to court. Honestly, I can say enough about how amazing my experie...nce was with her including no surprises on her fees and the confidence she gave me with every interaction!

Landlord Tenant Issue

I hired Megan to help me evict a tenant after the lawyer I was using provided a 60 day notice to vacate that didn't follow CA law. Megan provided legal notices and had them served. I didn't have to evict however, when the tenant sued me for her moving expenses, Megan helped to prepare my cross compl...aint, put together my evidence, had the tenant served and mailed and emailed evidence to the parties involved. She charges a reasonable rate and has spoken with me many times to go over information or provide advice without charging for each call, text or email. She really wants to help her clients achieve the best possible outcome. I would definitely recommend.

Outstanding

We hired Megan to prepare a Motion and other legal documents to help a family member in a difficult situation who was being taken advantage of. After an initial consultation, Megan not only caught the fraud, but identified the urgency and worked incredibly hard in a time crunch to protect them. She... demonstrated a level of dedication I'd hardly expect from anyone. Her rate was more than fair, and her responses were expedient. She knows her stuff, and put together a well-researched powerfully-compelling case that we never would have been able to do without her. It honestly felt like I was reading a famous case in a law class. She gave us hope in a dark time, and I can't recommend her any higher.

Awesome Attorney!

I hired Megan as a consultant to help me in my self-represented grandparent visitation case that was set to go to trial. I had done all of the footwork leading up to the trial but found myself needing legal guidance for how to introduce evidence, compile witnesses and general approach. From the mom...ent I contacted Megan, she helped me tremendously to streamline what was in front of me, and also to zoom out and pay close attention to the main points in my case and what the judge would be paying attention to. This was extremely helpful for me, as my case was emotionally charged and it was easy for me to lose sight of what would be the judge's perspective. Megan met with me to coach me and help me prepare, and although I had already paid for a set amount of consult time, she was very generous with additional time and I knew it was because she cares and wanted to make sure I had all that I needed. She has been awesome from the get go! She is compassionate and professional and I loved the fact that she tells it like it is. After the trial, she has followed up with me to make sure all went well and was available to help me with a post-trial issue. She's great and I would recommend her to anyone. She helped me through a very difficult situation and provided insight that I believe helped me win visitation of my granddaughter. Thank you Megan!

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.
