MEET OUR TEAM
Megan Ellis & Company is a law firm with an office in Vancouver, BC. At this office location, there are 2 lawyers.
I called this firm as a sexual abuse and IPV survivor, explicitly requesting to read my prepared statement because I’m autistic and phone calls are difficult. I was hopeful after reading their website but was completely unprepared for Megan’s tone and conduct. She interrupted me constantly, repeatedly spoke over me, condescendingly and aggressively dismissed my accessibility requests, mocked my understanding of legal options, and spoke in a highly contemptuous tone that left me shaking and heart racing. I clearly asserted myself at this point and asked why she was speaking to me how she was, but she denied this (after several moments of dead silence) and said “well it seems nothing I say is good enough for you.” I feel like I called a hotline for bored abusers who are looking to gaslight people in their spare time. This was not just a bad fit or poor timing, it was blatant emotional abuse and gaslighting. I would strongly deter other survivors from calling this lawyer. Appalling.
I would not recommend working with this firm if you have experienced any type of trauma. Although they claim to be experts in sexual assault, they do not treat potential clients with empathy. I had been looking forward to my consultation given this claim of expertise but was dismayed when the time finally came and was not in any way guided through the conversation. I was met with terseness and rudeness in the conversation and they didn't seem to be any way informed of my case even though it had been over a month since I'd inquired with them. I had much better experiences during consultations with other lawyers, even those who did not have "expertise" with sexual assault trauma.
