Megan Kathleen Paull

Awful. Had my case today and my lawyer Megan basically gave up on me after the first 15 minutes of the case when she said the judge made up his mind. She didn't look at my messages regarding the lies with the surprise witness and when I asked her to call me back after she lost my case she ignored me ...and told me to schedule another appointment with her the next day to discuss. When she finally came to the phone after the receptionist even agreed she was unprofessional she said she didn't want to talk to me that night because "needed someone to blame" and that nothing she said would have changed the judges mind. And I'm sure they won't hesitate on still sending a final bill. Do not use them and if you do don't use Megan. As her client she should have listened and read my messages as she asked me to send her during the case. If an unannounced witness takes the stand, her client asked her questions...she should have asked for a moment to discuss with me so I could talk to her and give her information. She didn't even think of it. She got flustered and didn't know what to do. She is definitely a novice charging ridiculous rates for her non-services. It has been 28 days, not still trying to find someone to blame, I know who messed up here. Still paying the bill is salt on the wound.

I found attorney Megan Paull via google search for Sherwood Family law. At the time I didn't care with the fact that she is less than a year in experience. I honestly think I can fight my custody battle as long as I have all the evidence but I am wrong, experience has a lot to do with the law. I h...ave sole custody for children but because I didn't know that even though I have sole custody, I still need the court and exparte to approve for me to move if I want to move more than 60 miles away with the children. Because My ex has been try to get custody from me all these years but he couldn't and because i didn't follow the proper procedure to file with the court for "intend to move", so he filed a status quo and motion wanting to take custody of my children from me. On the hearing day this morning, attorney Megan Paull was 25 minutes late to court. She gave a reason with traffic. Even though Judge Thompson waited until attorney Paull arrived to start the hearing but Judge had already made up her mind before she entered the court room. Judge gave the opposing a chance to talk and grant his request. Everything happen within 5 minutes. Neither attorney Paull or myself get to speak. I lost with my status quo case and need to wait for the final hearing in January meaning I will have to resign from my job if I can't extend my leave to stay in Oregon. I understand that nothing in trial is guarantee because it's all depends on the Judge decision, but attorney Paull knows she lives in Vancouver, she should have know there will be traffics coming into Oregon. She knows court time is 08:30am, she should have made herself be at the court on time. An excuse of stuck in traffics is unreasonable for me. After the trial, I was speechless and asked her if she had file a respond yet, and she told me that because I was served on 9/27, she has until 10/27 to file a respond for me. I am so worry that she will be late too, so now I have to search for a different lawyer to represent me. Honestly, had I know this is the way Attorney Megan Paull is, I think I better off with represent me myself. It cost me thousands so far with her and in the end she was late to my hearing day.
