Today, Megan’s legal career is dedicated to obtaining justice for people who have been injured or killed as a result of the wrongdoing of others. Since the day she joined Carpenter & Zuckerman, Megan has brought the same level of passion, dedication, and commitment as when she was litigating excessive force cases.
