Awesome Family Attorney

I went to Megan seeking legal advise on getting custody for my daughter, she took her time, she explained everything in detail and if i did not understand something she would re-word it. she gave me options (for my particular case) told me what i could do and what i could not and she would explain wh...y. she made me feel comfortable to leave my case in her hands which was very important to me. she was just over all Great!

Adoption assistance

Megan has been working with my wife and I for right around a year to finalize our adoption of our daughter. She has been so helpful and informative. If we had a question she was never hard to find and gave us answers quickly. I would recommend her to anyone who needed legal help. Thanks Megan!!!!

Family Lawyer going above and beyond

My husband I had adopted before, however we had never done a private adoption without an agency. Every step of the way Mrs Shepard was there to answer questions and was easily contacted for feedback or support. Mrs Shepard went above and beyond becoming more than just our lawyer she became a part o...f our family. I would highly encourage anyone seeking a family law representative that wants passionate involvement and representation to use Mrs Shepard as her experience and abilities are above par. Gary and Adrienne

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.
