Best lawyer I've ever had

I was slow to hire Mrs. Burns because she was not as old and experienced as my last lawyer, but as soon as I talked to her it was clear she was really smart and knew what she was doing. She was always very professional and kind and answered all of my questions. I had two other lawyers that everyone r...ecommend who charged me three times more than Mrs. Burns did and they never achieved any results. My divorce/custody case lasted almost two years, and Mrs. Burns was on the case about two months before she settled it and got me everything I wanted. Hiring her was really a life-changing decision for me and my kids. She cares about her clients and works really hard to help them. I have recommended her to everyone I know who needs a lawyer.

Couldn't have asked for better representation

Meagan helped me get through one of the roughest periods of my life. Not only is she very professional and knowledgeable, she is very empathetic and was there for me when I needed a shoulder to lean on. One of the best traits I found was if she wasn't sure of a situation or how to handle somethi...ng she didn't hesitate to tell me and research until she did. I had a unique situation having a disabled child in the mix of the divorce and she always had his best interests in mind.
