Megan is passionate about open adoption and surrogacy. She is one of the only adoption attorneys in the country who is also a birth mother, which gives her an intimate connection with her clients and the process. This is evident in comments provided by clients.

An intended parent said, “My surrogate delivered our son in January 2014, and we are so thankful we found Megan and Family Formation to lead us through this process!”
Megan earned her Bachelor of Arts from UC Berkeley in 1990. She graduated magna cum laude and first in her class from JFK University School of Law in 2009. There, she was valedictorian, and garnered the best oral argument award in appellate advocacy.
She also won multiple awards for academic excellence in criminal law, wills and trusts, evidence, civil procedure, business associations.
Megan was admitted to the bar in January 2010 and began her career with Diane Michelsen, a pioneer in adoption and surrogacy law. She made partner within the year, and managing partner in 2012.
Since 2012, she has taken on more than 100 assisted reproduction and surrogacy cases and more than 50 domestic adoptions. She practices in adoption, surrogacy and assisted reproduction law.
