"My husband and I have bought multiple homes with Meghan's legal guidance and we have nothing but great things to say.  Meghan was compassionate and supportive with us when we were stressing about something, and she managed all legal needs in ways that made it easy for us to understand the process and that reassured us she was putting our needs first.  We'd recommend her to anyone, and we hope for many more opportunities to work with her in the future."

"Meghan Stokes is the definition of calm professionalism.  While buying a home can be stressful, Meghan's expertise and demeanor keeps the transaction process smooth, even when things get a little rocky.  During the process, the seller's attorney came up with an unusual request that Meghan was able to dissolve and keep the transaction moving forward, which allowed us to move into our dream home.  If you're looking to buy or sell a home, you should hire Meghan Stokes for your real estate attorney."
