Megan assisted me in closing out the final commitments in a divorce proceeding. She used her knowledge of the court and understanding of the personalities involved to bring about a successful conclusion. She kept me well-informed of my options and clearly explained the relevant law and potential impact of my choices. Her professionalism and open personality allow her to work well with opposing counsel and others involved in the process. She made the process easier for me and I would highly recommend her for family law services.
I turned to Megan to protect and help me with my complicated divorce and custody proceedings in 2013. Her responsiveness, knowledge and authenticity during a complex divorce case kept me stable and successful. She was always engaged when I needed legal representation as well as emotional support during a tough time. She was fair and empatheic with billing, which I appreciated. I trust Megan and I highly recommend her.
Megan is a person you can trust. She is professional, caring, competent and experienced. I was most impressed with her capacity to see what was going to happen next and protect my best interests. Her vision and insight saved me countless dollars and emotional distress. I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking a divorce especially if the situation is complicated or challenging. I recommend Megan without reservation. HW
Megan was always approachable and available to me. She also aggressively and successfully advocated on my behalf. She meticulously ensured that my non-marital business and assets were protected from my ex-husband, and skillfully navigated complex financial and tax issues for my benefit. - KK
I retained Megan McAlister for divorce proceedings in late 2013 and she continues to assist in post decree issues. Prior to the finalization of the divorce, Megan was able to successfully negotiate a joint parenting agreement and marital settlement agreement in the midst of a very high conflict set of circumstances. My divorce was final and since I was the primary breadwinner, I did pay alimony but Megan ensured that it was only for a short time (approx 1 year) and my ex would not be able to request it again in the future. Since the divorce, many issues have arose that required counsel and Megan made sure my interests were always high priority. Due to extensive harassment and other major issues that could cause harm to my child, she helped me attain an order of protection and supervised visitation. Megan truly cares about me as a client and about the welfare of my young daughter. I highly recommend her for family law.
Megan was a great help to me during my divorce. Her professionalism and direct approach greatly contributed to making the whole process go as smoothly as it possibly could and I was very satisfied with the support and counsel I received. The outcome was fair and equitable and I knew she was in my corner, working to get me the best outcome possible, during the entirety of the proceedings. I would recommend her highly. MG
Megan is the consummate professional. She managed my case with experience and ease, in what could typically be a very emotional process. I hired another firm to handle my initial divorce process and documents. I switched to Megan a couple of years later based on a strong reference from a friend. Megan helped me tighten up many areas of my divorce documents that should have been resolved with the first firm I used. While I hope that I will never require her professional services again, I’d highly recommend Megan to any of my friends.
Megan insightfully prevented my ex-husband from committing a fraud on the court, and obtained a settlement totally in my favor. Would highly recommend!!!
Ms. Mcalister explained the law to me, led me in the correct direction of what to do and not do which quickly which resulted in the issue being settled in my favor at minimal cost.
I hired Megan services to do the right and her office staff weren’t not profesional they turned in documents into the Court late causing delays. Megan behaviors towards the my case were draconian and just a negative experience. Do not pay a dollar to this firm, there are much better lawyers for your money. Beware!
