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.

Divorce

Ms. Perry assisted me with my divorce. Unfortunately, my experience was not good. The communication was poor, nearly every conversation with Mrs. Perry in the office or on the phone started out with, I have an important phone call and don’t have much time to talk, or I’m due in court and don’t ha...ve time to talk long. Many emails left unanswered, phone calls short, issues were ignored, things I was told would get done, didn’t. I was misinformed many times regarding processes. I wasn’t kept informed on my case. I wasn’t given options or choices on many occasions. Choices and decisions were made without my review which created unnecessary problems. I didn’t receive monthly statements as I was told I would. Although, I requested statements many times each month, I only received 1 statement in 6 months, full of pages with over whelming amounts of charges. I truly believe the most stressful part of this divorce was the representation. Needless to say my ex-husband and I are divorced. Unfortunately, I had to terminate Ms. Perry’s services before all filing was finished.

Out of State Move

Words can't describe how pleased I am with Megan Perry, Joe Elwood and the team at PE&M. They did a thoroughly outstanding job with my case involving child custody, parenting time and relocation out of state. We knew it would be a tough case, but with the team's support, determination and perform...ance we persevered successfully. I am so thankful for Megan's knowledge and execution at the trial. She made me feel comfortable and confident during such a traumatic time. Kelly, Emma and the other assistants were always so helpful. They were quick to respond and were always able to get me appointments in a timely manner, when needed. Every step along the way I was kept informed of the progress and copies of communication between parties were always sent to me. They made the whole process as smooth as possible. I couldn't have asked for a better legal team. With much gratitude, C.B.

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.
