Over charges with little results

I spent over $6000 for a temporary parenting plan that she never finalized and now I basically have to start from scratch. She didn’t fight for my or my child’s needs and instead prioritized cooperating with what the other attorney was asking for because she worked with him in the past. On top of tha...t I never even met her face to face. She charges for every single interaction. She also used a card they had on file I previously used for payment to charge a large lump sum of the balance although we had agreed on a payment plan prior and she did not tell me she was going to do this. Luckily I had the funds, but if this is a common practice at her firm I could see that putting a lot of people in a bad position. I withdrew her as counsel and now basically haven’t got anything I wanted from our parenting plan which has since expired.

Megan is the best of the best! You will not be disappointed!

I've worked alongside attorneys for over 10 years. It's HARD to find a good attorney. I heard Megan representing a client in court one day and knew right away she was a GREAT attorney. She understands the legal system and pleads her cases exceptionally well. Megan is very easy to communicate with,... she works fast, keeps her billing hours low and is incredibly smart. She knows her clients cases to a T and gave me strength to fight for what's right when hope was lost. Every time she's in court, I am proud to call her my attorney. She continually impresses me and exceeds my expectations. I'm forever grateful to her and her amazing team. You will not be disappointed. She truly is the best of the best!

Dont let the smile trick you.

She took my case. All she cares is about charging. That probably pays for her expensive outfit. She did not fight for me at all both in and outside of the court. We lost at almost every court hearing. Don't waste your money on her!!!

Great lawyer!

Megan Card is awesome! My ex tried to paint a very untrue picture for a protection order to keep me away from my son. Megan spent many hours building my case and was very successful in exposing her lies in court. Whenever I had a question or concern Megan or her assistant were just a phonecall away, ...and always very prompt in returning calls/emails. I will also have Megan take on my parenting plan because I wouldn't trust anyone else!

Grateful

Still fresh in my mind the day I first met you, as you walked towards me with your warm smile I told myself, I found what I was looking for. Thank you for your patience, compassion, your sincere honest advice, and how you firmly but gently guided me especially through times I couldn't make up my min...d. Thank you for your hard work, for giving me your professional best all the while keep your fees within my reach. Thank you for taking the extra time to process the quit claim deed and other paperwork. My deep appreciation for everything you've done on my behalf. With much gratitude.
