I was running into last minute timing to get a lawyer since I already had went to my initial hearing. I was getting charged with theft with a prior. I aboustuly loved the way they use a portal, in which I was able to ask questions and/or send documents needed without having to go down to her office. I also got answers in a very timely manner. She got me a great deal and I also learned my lesson completely. She was there from the start to the finish. I would highly recommend her services in any criminal case in the Lafayette, IN area as she seemed very knowledgeable and was also very kind and got my case done in a very quickly timely manner as I was hoping.

Ms. Bolt was communicative as needed. She also prepared us for what to expect in the different stages of our case. She seemed very knowlegable about the local processes and procedures, as well as what we could expect from the school - even though the school portion wasn't her responsibility. We appreciated her perspective.

Megan did an amazing job with my case, she was so attentive and always kept me completely informed with what was going on. Before hiring Megan for my felony violation of probation, I consulted with a more expensive lawyer who said I was looking at prison. Megan was way more affordable and got me out with just house arrest ! She’s great!

Megan was very helpful the duration of my case. She sent me updates about charges being filed, documents I needed to sign, and other directions immediately. I was interested in understanding the process and my rights, and Megan defined terms for me, explained my rights, and explained the process to me. My case was taken care of in about 1.5 months. The case was for speeding/reckless driving. I highly recommend Megan to anyone facing similar charges.

Megan was very helpful every step of the way for me. She always was quick at responding to emails as well as arriving to court early every time. I felt comfortable talking about my issues and poor life choices with her no matter what. I would strongly recommend her to anyone else who might be in the same situation as I am. Thank you so much for your time and consistent work ethic Megan, I can't tell you how much it has meant to me.

I was arrested for felony possession with intent to distribute. Megan was able to prove to and convince the judge that the evidence had to be thrown out because the police searched my dorm room illegally. Thanks, Megan!
