Divorce Testimonial

Yeah, so I originally started with a different attorney. It’s not that she was a bad attorney — it just happened that she was going through her own divorce at the time, and I started to feel like I was being put on the back burner a little bit.

So, I decided to switch attorneys. I found Megan through honest research. She consistently came up as a well-known and highly regarded attorney. When I met with Megan, I could immediately tell that she was very invested in what I was saying and genuinely focused on understanding my situation.

Working with Megan since then has been wonderful because she truly seems to put herself in the situation and genuinely wants the best possible outcome for her clients especially for my son.

She’s been very understanding of everything I’ve gone through, including the mental health struggles and abuse issues involved in my situation.

Have a conversation with your attorney almost interview them before you commit to working with them. Sit down and honestly ask yourself, ‘Is this going to work well, or is it not going to work well?’

Be honest with your attorney, and ask them to be honest with you during that initial conversation, because this process really becomes a relationship. In many cases, it can feel like you’re going into battle together. And when you know your attorney truly has your back, it gives you a sense of peace and puts you at ease.

In the initial meeting with Megan, I felt very comfortable. She was very honest with me. She didn’t make unrealistic promises or guarantees, but instead shared her professional opinion based on her experience and explained how she thought things could potentially play out.

That actually made me feel more comfortable because, when you go to court, you never truly know what’s going to happen. She would say, ‘In my experience, this is what I’ve seen,’ but she never guaranteed a specific outcome.

That honesty made me feel like I could trust and believe in her right from the beginning.

I also felt that she was very attentive and genuinely invested in what I was saying. One thing I noticed right away was that Megan truly cared.

I had spoken with other attorneys before, and some of them made me feel like it was more about getting me signed up so money could start coming in. But with Megan, it was completely different. She focused on the intricate details of the case and asked a lot of thoughtful questions.

That’s how I knew she was serious about representing both me and my son and truly cared about meeting our needs.

So, yeah, she kind of laid out the entire process for me — the different types of hearings, what each hearing meant, and what could potentially happen at each one. She was very detailed in explaining how each hearing was different and what I could expect throughout the process.

She was also very quick to answer my questions. If I thought of something afterward, I could reach out to her, and she was always good about responding and answering my concerns.

Because of that, I felt at ease the entire time. I always felt like I knew what to expect, and there were never any major surprises.

I feel like the entire firm operates at the same level as Megan when it comes to making sure the client is taken care of. It never felt like everything revolved around money. Instead, the focus was always on answering questions, addressing concerns, and moving the case forward.

Of course, I would receive invoices, but it never felt like I was being hounded for payment the next day without anyone responding to my questions or concerns. I always took care of the invoices, but the firm never made me feel pressured or uncomfortable about it.

It was really refreshing to have the focus placed on what truly mattered — the outcome of the case and taking care of the client.

And with everything I’ve experienced working with Megan and we’ve been through several hearings together I’ve been incredibly impressed by her ability to communicate with so many different types of professionals.

She knows how to talk with therapists on their medical and clinical level, how to communicate with guardian ad litems regarding the children, and how to navigate all the different areas involved in a case like this. It’s not just about the law it’s about everything that comes together around it.

Honestly, it blows me away how well she handles all of it. And she makes it seem almost stress-free. She makes it look easy, and that helps put me at ease as well.

I would say that if you’re looking for an attorney, have that initial conversation with them and pay attention to how it feels. If it feels right — or if it doesn’t feel right — be honest about that with the attorney and with yourself.

You want to feel like there’s good communication, mutual understanding, and a level of comfort. If you feel that connection and trust, then go with it.

But it’s also important to bring up the specific challenges in your case and ask questions like, ‘Do you have experience handling situations like this?’ and ‘Are you comfortable dealing with these issues?’

Because if the attorney isn’t comfortable with your case, then you’re probably not going to feel comfortable either, and the overall experience just won’t be as positive as it could be.
