Patient and Kind

I hired Megan Paull to represent me in a restraining order, divorce and custody case in January 2018. Having never been in my particular situation before, I was nervous and, at times, grumpy. Megan and her team, Taylor and Mychal, helped to explain even minute details of my case to me. My case t...ook a year to come to trial, I received weekly updates. Megan arrived early for the trial and was very well prepared. Even though I no longer reside in Oregon, I would recommend Megan Paull for anyone who needs a family law attorney.

Child custody

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.

"I had the pleasure of working with Megan on a family law case. The case involved issues of child custody, child support, spousal support, premarital assets, real property, debt division and retirement account issues. Just about all the complications in a modern modest marital estate case. It was a pleasure and Megan is an excellent and well versed advocate for her client."
