Posted by Jamie | January 05, 2022 | Hired Attorney | Lawsuits & Disputes

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!

Posted by Jaime | May 03, 2015 | Child Custody

Professional, Trustworthy, Knowledgeable, Thorough. I knew my children and I were in the hands of the BEST lawyer around!

Child custody cases are something I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy. The thought of your child's life at the mercy of a judge who has never met them (or you for that matter) is terrifying. My child's father was completely out of his life for over a year (over half of my child's life). Then he met... someone, who had a little boy, and all the sudden after over a year of no contact, I was served with custody paperwork. His dad now wanted to be a part of our child's life. In his proposed parenting plan he wanted a 50/50 split of custody with us switching our child to a different home every other week. Though he had NEVER even had our child alone for even an hour in our childs entire life! He had never changed a diaper, prepared a meal, given a bath, trimmed fingernails or taken our child to the doctor. Nor did he know we were regulars at Seattle Childrens Hospital due to our child being diagnosed with an agressive autoimmune disorder which had required our child being put to sleep for steroid injections in multiple spots that were affected by this disorder. I was brought to tears multiple times when thinking about how the health and well being of our child would be affected if a 50/50 split was granted. I immediately started researching lawyers in my area. I needed someone who would understand my fears and concerns. Someone who knew the law like the back of their hand and was able to be the strength i knew I needed, and I couldnt be. Someone who was knowledgeable, ethical, intelligent and could help me decipher what all this legal jargon meant, what steps i needed to take and most importantly, how this case and the outcome of it would affect my child's life. Everything I heard about Ms. Card was centered around great things she had done for people and our community (she set up FREE will clinics for veterans and first responders in our community partnering with other lawyers to serve as many veterans and first responders as possible). From her past clients I heard over and over again that she was a dedicated, passionate, hardworking attorney. Ms.Card had been a legal intern in college, worked an externship for Justice Stephens of the Supreme Court, is the Chair for the WA state young lawyers committee of the bar association. Ms. Cardis on the board for the Thurston county bar association, serves as the chair for the young lawyer association of the local bar and is a member of the WA state association of defense lawyers. After researching many lawyers, I can honestly say, I'm so glad I chose Ms. Card! I couldnt ask for a more amazing attorney. She had my child's best interest at heart, and worked confidently and aggressively to make sure his best interest was always the focus throghout the court process. Ms. Card asked me what I was hoping for the final parenting plan to be, and, after my response she was brutally honest with me. She pushed me to see what was reasonable and obtainable in WA state, and still fought hard for what I had hoped the outcome would be. She never lead me astray or told me things that were not truly obtainable. She was quick to answer my questions and concerns as well as calming my fears. I felt safe and confident that she was always looking out for our best interest. In terms of cost, she is very reasonable. In fact, I would pay her weight in gold to have her represent me and my child again. After all, the decision to hire Ms. Card to represent my child and I was a life altering decision. I am thankful for my choice, and forever grateful for the dedication, time and energy Ms.Card spent making sure our outcome was what we had hoped for and most importantly, what was in the best interest of the health and well being of my child. If you're looking for an amazing attorney, Ms.Card is the one for you! Just ask my little boy who is adjusting very well to his twice a week dinner dates and every other Saturday overnight stays with his dad.
