Representative Experience
- Oil and Gas: Represented oil and gas companies in a variety of disputes arising out of claims for alleged personal injuries and property damage, within and outside of Texas. In many of these cases, Megan played a key role by reviewing and selecting documents for production, drafting discovery requests and responses, composing pre-trial motions and objections, and researching various legal issues before and during trial.
- General Business Litigation: Represented various clients in general litigation disputes involving claims for breach of contract, DTPA violations, breach of fiduciary duty, fraud, tortious interference, and quantum meruit. These cases have presented Megan with opportunities to conduct depositions, draft a variety of motions and responses, create settlement agreements, and negotiate the settlement of an insurance claim. In two cases, Megan drafted motions for summary judgment that resulted in the opposing party electing to dismiss all claims.
- Banking: Represented large financial institutions in note-ownership, foreclosure, and lender-liability disputes.
Megan also places strong emphasis on her pro bono docket, particularly cases presenting opportunities to help children and families. She has argued before the family court in both Houston and Galveston, and continues to gain experience before the Houston Immigration Court.
