Have you consulted or hired this lawyer?
Leave a review about your experience with this lawyer.Meggin's commitment to advocating for her clients is unwavering, her integrity speaks volumes, She always seeks for an amicable outcome that is fair for all parties involved, this is VERY important especially when children are involved. She’s professional and tough when she has to be, comforting when you need her to be!! As a father I've heard plenty of horror custody cases.. I have Meggin to thank that I don't have one of my own to share.
Meggin was and still is a Wonderful attorney for me. I would recommend her to anyone who is in need any legal help.
Meggin is a great attorney. We had an uphill "no win" battle in the county that is anti fathers rights. Things could have been worse if not for Meggin's help. Still have a ways to go but, I feel better knowing that she is in my corner.
Meggin is a collaborative lawyer who tries to be fair. I believe she is does not want long lengthy court battles. She compromises to the point of making costly errors. She did not always communicate effectively with me and at times took 4 weeks to reply to an email. I am not sure if she does not read things correctly or she just did not think things through which resulted in the loss of thousands of dollars in both time & money to me. Perhaps she just was not able to communicate why she did something the way she did and never admitted it was an oversight or she meant it to be that way. At one point my ex asked for clarification on an appraisal & she refused to give it to him which resulted in our settlement being dragged out longer than it should of. At the very end of the process, she looked at what my ex was asking for clarification about & agreed with what he asked about in the first place. That error resulted in months of additional time waiting to settle and she gave into them
Arrogant, argumentative, disorganized, failure to follow client requests
