I'm a former speech-language pathologist (SLP) who is passionate about helping the elderly population.  As an SLP, I worked in skilled nursing facilities, and I came to deeply care about the individuals and families who were forced to navigate the complex world of long-term care.  It can be so overwhelming.  I love being able to help make that process a little bit simpler as an attorney.. I also love helping anybody and everybody get a basic estate plan in place.  The relief I see in people's eyes once they've gotten their documents signed, knowing everything will be taken care of if something should happen to them, never gets old!  It's one of those tasks you know you should do but just never quite get around to doing.  We make the process so easy and approachable.. My personal interests include running, triathlons, cooking, and listening to podcasts.

I am a charter member of the Alabama State Bar's Elder Law bar section. I don't practice divorce or criminal defense or bankruptcy or real estate closings or immigration law. All I do, every day, is work with seniors and their adult children, to give them all peace of mind that all the dangers that might lie ahead have been addressed. We have a full-time Social Worker on our team too, and her job is to take care of our clients whenever they have a non-legal need arise. Many of our clients have children who have moved away and they have no close family to help them. My Social Worker becomes their surrogate daughter- taking them to the doctor's appointments, helping them balance their checkbook, supervising sitters and arranging regular Facetime calls with the kids, wherever they might be. Just a little something extra we provide our clients.

Megan has been recognized as a 2014 “Rising Star” Lawyer by B-Metro magazine. B-Metro’s survey of local attorneys reveals the names and faces that you should know in the Birmingham legal community. The Rising Stars were selected based on their legal professionalism and community involvement..
