The Best!

I've used and interviewed attorneys prior to Megan but knew from the initial phone consultation that I found a gem when I spoke to Megan. She is very professional yet carries a very pleasant and comforting demeanor. She was the only one who answered my questions before I even asked them during our i...nitial phone consultation - which proved to me she was very competent in the areas of child visitiation and minor's rights both of which I needed assistance with. My nerves were always calmed after any meeting or advise from Megan. I always felt and believed she had my daughter's best interest as her top priority and I was right! As well, she always conducted herself in a manner which sent the necessary message that she was present for my representation and none else. This was very important to me. Megan's services and her team of professionals have gained (for me and my daughter) confidence, peace of mind, and ultimately the gain of independence my daughter had been fighting for and until now was never heard or understood. I would absolutely recommend Megan's services (and have actually...a lady in the courtroom asked me for Megan's business card after witnessing our case). :) In addition to the main concern which was child visitation/minor's rights, Megan also helped achieve a very significant child support increase modification. In a nutshell, Megan is the best!

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
