I highly recommend Meg to anyone who is looking for a sensible and fair separation/divorce; especially if there are children involved. Meg was at the center of my (very difficult) divorce and was the voice of reason in it all. While the other parties involved seemed to be more interested in the litigation aspect of the case, Meg stayed focused on the personal side of it all. She worked very hard to try to make the process as painless and fair as possible, and above else, to ensure the well being of our children who found themselves in the middle of a very difficult situation. To this day, a couple of years later, she stays interested in the well being of the children and does not hesitate to help out if/when there is a need to resolve conflict in the aftermath of the divorce. I have also consulted Meg for other family related matters and have always been very satisfied with the quality of her work, her fairness and her timely responsiveness.

I had a big problem with my previous lawyer who was unprofessional on charges and billing. Also he dragged my case without good reason except to bill me more. I don't have such a problem with Meg. She is professional, sharp and competent. She moved my case forward and closed it in reasonable time with a fair settlement. I have a difficult case that involved years of deception. She is sensitive, warm and supportive. She makes this difficult time of my life somehow bearable. I highly recommend her.

Meg Oliver is an accomplished, knowledgeable, patient, and wise attorney. Meg brought me through a difficult and sometimes adversarial divorce. The divorce process was very successful from beginning to end. Meg allayed my initial fears with solid information, anticipating what might and did happen, communicating effectively what to expect and do at each step. We reached an outcome with which I was extremely happy. Meg acted with a high degree of professionalism and experience, and conducted herself ethically. Meg was cost efficient by keeping the case moving. When a contentious issues arose, Meg calmed the situation rather than inflame it. Meg considered the cost of what could be gained by compromise versus the cost in litigation, and other fees of escalation. I was extremely happy with Meg’s representation and found her to be genuine and easy to talk with. I cannot overemphasize that Meg always put my interests first. Meg established and maintained a good working relationship with myself and the opposing attorney. She was a pleasure to work with, was very attentive, well prepared, forward looking, and provided me peace of mind. I will not hesitate to contact Meg with any future legal issues.

I recently completed my divorce process with Meg and she helped, what was a complex situation, us to be reasonable and practical in how to approach the process and get through it maintaining our sanity and achieving a fair outcome. There were difficult moments in the process but, Meg kept me looking at the final goal we were trying to achieve. Many thanks for her efforts.

From the moment I met Meg she struck me as kind, very knowledgeable, and willing to do anything to help me through my divorce. And she did. Including talking to me or emailing me even on her time off. She was consistently and constantly on my side and calmly but with force fought for me. Because of her excellent advice and her exemplary skills as an attorney I was able to avoid a costly court battle. I am forever grateful to Meg.

Margaret was kind and professional. She walked me through some difficult steps and did so without trying to charge as much as possible. I give Margaret Oliver the highest possible endorsement.

I came to Attorney Margaret Oliver for help with a case that I have been dealing with for a long time. Attorney Margaret listened to me and showed much compassion for what I was going through. She was very thorough with explaining the law and she cared enough to make sure I truly understood how she was going to help me. Attorney Margaret is a great lawyer that truly cares and it shows through her professionalism and her knowledge. Attorney Margaret is a great lawyer to trust with your legal issues.

Meg is not only a good attorney who is very knowledgeable in her areas of expertise, she is also a kind and caring counsel who absolutely has your best interests in mind. She is patient, and makes you feel that you can count on her to have your back. If you propose something that is not exactly the best approach, she will question it, and make sure you understand the implications and outcomes, before making any final decisions. She is also very responsive and quick to return calls/emails. She and her staff always conduct themselves efficiently and very professionally. They are detailed-oriented and very thorough. They are reliable, personable, and definitely not "stuffy." It will be a pleasure to work with her and her staff again. I highly recommend her as your attorney.

Margaret Oliver is simply the best. I have a very difficult ex-husband, and have used her on several occasions for different issues concerning custody. She listens, is compassionate and very savvy. She will get you the results you are looking for! Divorce is very difficult, but having a qualified lawyer makes it bearable. I hired her based on reviews I had read online, so I hope this review helps someone hire the right lawyer, which is her! I highly recommend Ms. Meg!
