Handled a deed issue for me

I worked with Megan on a deed issue involving aspects of elder law, real estate law, and divorce law. She was knowledgeable on all of those topics so she was able to help me get the deed issue resolved very quickly. Would recommend her to anyone with legal issues in the area.

Farmland

Megan Gilbreth and her law firm, Blake Behme Gilbreth Links, P.C., has given us excellent legal advice regarding farmland issues with which we were confronted, and we will use them again for legal matters in the future. We highly recommend Ms. Gilbreth and her law firm.

No business being in this business

I feel like the Blake Law Group pulled a bait and switch on me. I originally retained Jennifer Behme, whom seemed very knowledgeable, then was assigned Megan Gilberth without explanation. Megan Gilberth has absolutely no business practicing family law. She is not knowledgeable on the subject. I hired... the Blake Law Group to represent me to get arrears removed and obtain a modification of my support order. I found more information on my case on Google then I did from her. She does not respond to emails, calls, or voicemails. I only met with her a few weeks before going to court, she didn’t remember meeting me before while in court. The results in court were laughable. I am now in worse shape than before hiring the Blake Law Group. Ms. Gilberth refused to fight for me. I already felt like a caged animal because of a narcissistic ex-wife that has manipulated me and my children. Now I’m in debt to a horrible attorney with a resolution that I could have been had without any representation. She knew the history of the judge we were to argue my case in front of but failed to tell me that most of my evidence would not be admissible. The whole case could have been over for the $500 retainer. $10,000 later and I am worse off than before. After complaining about Megan’s service to the managing partner, Edward Blake, the firm withdrew from my case.

Megan L. Gilbreth As a person and and as an attorney, she is top-drawer when it comes to her practice including listening to clients, considering options and strategies, making recommendations and zealously representing the interests of her clients. Not only is she intelligent, honest, hard-workin...g and compassionate, but she is at her best in trial work, including her persistent discovery techniques. She is great at pre-trial and hands-down the best when it comes to presenting her cases at trial, making a case understandable to the trier of fact and obtaining winning results, always in an effort to exceed the expectations of her clients, time and time again. There is no quit in her. She is well-respected by the judiciary and has a proven track record earned over years of hard work.
