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!

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 Now over a year later I have nothing and Megan and her managing partner have decided to no longer represent me because I brought my complaints about her shortcomings to their attention.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.

Awesome lawyer

2014-2015 My divorce lawyer was Megan Perry located in Albany Oregon. I Was very pleased with her representing me. She's very knowledgable, strong willed, and fought hard for me. I was fighting for sole custody of my 5 yr old boy and my ex to have parenting visitations every other weekend and Mrs Per...ry won that for me. I will also receive child support. For a man to have sole custody is fantastic! It goes to show that times are changing because a woman or mother isn't always the best choice and the best suitable parent to take care of a child. I'm glad Mrs Perry proved that. She was superb and if I had to recommend a lawyer, one who will fight for you, take you seriously and be passionate, Mrs Perry is the only choice. You won't be disappointed.

High recommended!

Ms. Perry helped me with a Modification of Custody, Parenting time, and child support case. We are still waiting to hear back from the Judge on his decision, but I can honestly say that I feel great about the representation she provided regardless of the outcome. I left the courtroom feeling confiden...t that I gave it my best and that she presented a strong case. I had a previous attorney who seemed ok, but in court turned out to be super passive aggressive and got rolled over. Ms. Perry was aggressive and was not afraid to put up a fight. She was super easy to talk to and comforting during an extremely stressful situation. She showed a large amount of patience in explaining the process and answering my millions of questions. I would highly recommend Ms. Perry to anyone who is in need of family law attorney.
