Meggin was awarded the 2020-2021 Colorado Bar Association Young Attorney of the Year award for her dedication to client and community service, in addition to her professional knowledge and skill. The Gary McPherson Award recognizes a young attorney who is skilled in their area of law, as well as someone who makes a substantial positive change in the state. Meggin was recognized for her work expanding the ability of families to find solutions out of court, and for her work and activism with the Colorado Legislature to make out-of-court solutions more accessible to all Coloradans.

 

Meggin has dedicated her career to serving families in the areas that they are most likely to need legal help: divorce, family law, elder law, and probate. Meggin is dedicated to helping families find out-of-court ways to resolve their family law issues. She has helped families in divorce and probate with estates over 10 million dollars, and she has helped families living on minimum wage. Meggin is active in changing the legislation and judicial system to promote solutions-focused divorce resolutions by testifying to the Colorado Legislature and state Supreme Court committees about Collaborative Law and Divorce Options.

 

Complex assets and large spreadsheets are one of Meggin’s nerdiest pleasures.  She specializes in helping families with complex assets including trusts, businesses, complex income structures (including RSUs and executive compensation), and businesses.  Unlike most family law attorneys, Meggin really enjoys spreadsheets, math, and the puzzles of understanding complex assets and families.  She uses that talent to help families find creative ways of equitable division of large estates.  Meggin can usually come up with ideas that other professionals miss because of her deep understanding of the underlying structures and taxes of complex assets and families.  Additionally, Meggin has a passion for helping families with children who are neurodivergent or have other mental health needs.  She has now presented “Thinking Outside the Box: Understanding Neurodivergent Families” to over 2500 judges, attorneys, and professionals across Colorado.  As a mom of two neurodivergent children herself, she loves helping families find creative solutions to keep the children in the center of decisions and help everyone thrive. 

 

Meggin has been published in numerous magazines and websites, including the University of Colorado Amicus Magazine. She has served as President and Vice President of the Colorado Collaborative Divorce Professionals, among other organizations, to promote and expand solutions-focused resolution.

 

From Meggin Herself:

 

I decided to go into law instead of academics because I love to help people. I relish learning new things every day. Most people face some kind of legal issue in their lives, and we want to help you understand your options and make the choice that is right for you. I have found a passion in helping people feel less stressed and more confident about what is going to happen as they move through the legal system. The best compliment I can hear after speaking with someone is “I feel so much better now”. I built this firm to have a place that provides compassionate and dedicated service to people in the areas that they are most likely to interact with the law: divorce, estate planning, elder law, and probate.

 

I am from a family of proud Colorado pioneers, despite my upbringing. Growing up in Amarillo, TX, I was an active member of the speech and debate team where I became a nationally ranked extemporaneous speaker. This is where I learned what I love to do today: use my persuasive skills to help those in need. I was also involved in local 4-H club, the American Quarter Horse Association, and volunteered much of my time to various community groups.

 

While attending Austin College in Sherman, Texas, I was an active member of the pre-law society, the Leadership Institute, and the Student Development Board. I helped found and grow the Austin College Law Day. I also had the incredible experience of being able to travel to nine countries from Thailand to Timbuktu.

Returning to my home state, Colorado, I was awarded a full-tuition scholarship to the University of Colorado Law School. While studying, I participated in the Doman International Law Society, the Student Trial Lawyers Society, and many mock trials and moot court events.

 

During my education I received many awards and held many positions. These include: Phi Beta Kappa, President and Secretary, Pre-Law Society, Recipient, Bernard J. Seeman Scholarship, Author: “Justice Sandra Day O’Connor: Feminist or Feminine Jurisprudence?” Pi Sigma Alpha Chi Political Science Journal. Top Oralist, 2009 Carrigan Cup Mock Trial Competition, University of Colorado Law School, Boulder, Colorado. Top Grade Earner, Motions Advocacy, University of Colorado Law School, Boulder, Colorado. Participant, Regional Competition for Jessup International Law Moot Court.

 

When I have free time, I enjoy playing with my children, reading, sewing, crafting, and working on our urban homestead with our dogs, cats, chickens, bees, and garden.
