Minus 5 stars should be available

I do not understand all the 5 star reviews. Megan Perry cost me thousands of dollars in my divorce with her bad advise and lack of knowledge. It was like she was working for my ex and not me. Now I find out she will not be held responsible for any of the damage she has done to me and others like me w...ho trusted her when she said she would take care us. The BAR association is culpable in all of this too. All they will do is represent their own. I now find myself victimized by our alleged legal system on top of Ms Perry's incompetence. The least they could of done is make her pay back the fees she charged for such shoddy representation. Now the ex is coming after me again and all the courts will say is "too bad for you, you signed the documents." Beware the legal system, they are not on your side and they do not care about you.

Review

My husband and I hired Mrs Perry to represent us in his ex wife and their custody child support and to possibly get more parenting time. After almost a year of paying her and her not replying to our emails not submitting paperwork that we agreed too, not returning our phone calls etc! After even havi...ng meetings with her and us paying her another 600 dollars for her to continue to falsely say she is doing everything she can. In hopes that something would come about. Come to find out she settled our case without our knowledge! When we asked her how this could happen? She again asked for money to modify a case she knew no longer existed!! We then waited 8 more months in hopes to find out what had happened. Long story short we ended up hiring another attorney to fix what she messed up and to get back what we lost in court without our knowledge! We've been in court now for almost 3 and half years due to Megan's incompetence!

Horrible!! terrible communication no follow through misfiled paperwork

I do not recommend hiring Miss Perry! I cannot stress that enough. She is a terrible attorney. She cost me thousands of dollars in lost alimony and child support. There were multiple times she did not file paperwork resulting in a divorce that didn’t go through when both parties thought it did. It t...ook two years to finalize a divorce and was not contested by either party. I am aware of 2 other parties that had the same issues with her lack of filing papers and not communicating effectively. She is not competent or fit to be an attorney. Miss Perry should be disbarred!

Beware of what lies beneath

I hired Megan to represent me for a parenting time modification in the spring of 2016. During our initial meetings she was kind, sympathetic and personable. However, many months later I began to realize that the legal advice she was providing had set my case up for failure. After following her direct...ion I was held in contempt of court twice and had to appear before the judge to defend my actions. Megan was ill-prepared for those hearings, failed to advise me on what to expect and got schooled by opposing counsel. As a result, I ended up being responsible for some of my ex's attorney fees. I was painted as an alienating parent by my ex and his attorney, I had to hire a new attorney earlier this year and am still in a legal battle 18 months later. Megan's incompetence as an attorney is hidden behind her warm demeanor. As a parent looking out for the safety and well-being of their child I would not recommend this attorney to anyone.

Her managing partner is her husband. She doesn't do her job

I hired Megan for a custody and support issue. It should have been a fairly quick and simple issue. Now over a year later I have nothing and Megan and her managing partner have decided to no longer represent me because I brought my complaints about her shortcomings to their attention. I inquired why... the many agreements that I signed were not filed correctly. Even after she stated they had been filed and signed by a judge. I was told my case was a done deal and that I should receive it any day now. 6 months later I found out it was never filed, and not followed through with. Megan was very nice and engaging when I met with her, but after our meetings she never followed through with what we discussed. When I would call she would never answer. I had to call daily to get her to reply. She would cancel appointments or simply not show up. She lied or misrepresented the truth multiple times. She is either too busy or just can't handle her job, I don't know which. I am now having to hire a new attorney to fix her mistakes. The new attorney I hired stated that they have gotten many of her old clients. She has apparently done this to a host of other people. She caused tremendous heartache and damages. Her managing partner doesn't care when you bring your issues with her to light. I have now found out, it is because he is her husband and is protecting her and their firm. Do not trust her sparkling personality. She seems genuine and capable, she is anything but that.
