09/22/2022 client review:
Megan’s ability to take extremely complex information in and present it in a clear and concise manner is unreal. Her attention to detail while doing research is unparalleled, as is her ability to prepare the information to be presented. She is a top rated criminal defense attorney and it is well deserved. J.F.
