She was meticulous in reviewing the contract terms and identifying key issues that ultimately strengthened my case. While her legal insights were top-tier—I even noticed she was recognized by Best Lawyers—her responsiveness could be improved at times. A few emails went unanswered for a day or two, but when she did follow up, her solutions were thorough. The outcome was favorable, and I’d recommend her for similar cases, especially those involving construction disputes. Her Southern Methodist University background clearly equipped her well for high-stakes litigation.

Emma Reed
I hired Megan McKennon for a commercial litigation matter involving a construction contract dispute. While she has impressive credentials—being recognized by Best Lawyers in both Commercial Litigation and Construction Litigation—my experience was mixed. Megan’s knowledge of the legal landscape was evident, and she clearly understood the complexities of our case. However, I found her communication to be somewhat uneven. While she was responsive to major updates, smaller inquiries often took longer than expected, which added unnecessary stress. Additionally, my expectations for case strategy discussions were higher; I felt some meetings could have been more thorough in exploring alternative approaches. The resolution was favorable, but the journey could have been smoother with more consistent engagement. I’d recommend her for her expertise, but with the caveat that responsiveness and deeper collaboration might be areas for improvement.
Nancy Nelson
Megan McKennon’s expertise in commercial litigation and construction law is evident from her recognition by Best Lawyers. I hired her for a complex construction dispute involving contract breaches and delays, and she handled the legal strategy effectively. She clearly understood the nuances of construction law and provided sound advice. However, my experience was a bit lackluster when it came to communication. While she was responsive, follow-ups often took longer than expected, and I sometimes had to remind her about updates. The case was resolved satisfactorily, but the process could have been smoother with more proactive communication. Overall, she’s a competent attorney, but managing client expectations on timelines is an area for improvement. If you need a litigator with construction law experience, she’s qualified, but don’t expect daily updates.
Raymond Walker
Megan McKennon handled my commercial lease dispute with professionalism, leveraging her recognized expertise in commercial litigation. Her analysis of my case's complexities was thorough, and her understanding of Texas lease laws was evident. However, while her legal strategy was sound, communication was inconsistent—delays in responses and vague updates made it harder to stay informed. The resolution was positive, but the process felt slower than I expected. For someone with her recognition in construction litigation, I anticipated a more proactive approach. Overall, she delivered competent representation, but I’d suggest working on client communication for a smoother experience.
James Carter
Megan McKennon handled my commercial litigation case with professionalism, leveraging her recognition in construction-related disputes to our advantage. Her expertise in the field was evident, and she successfully navigated complex contract issues. However, I found her communication often lacked timeliness—responses to emails or calls sometimes took longer than expected, which caused some unnecessary delays. While the outcome was favorable, the process could have been smoother with more proactive updates. Megan’s strategic approach in court was impressive, particularly when arguing for breach of contract, but I wish she had been more transparent about potential timeline challenges upfront. For those in need of a knowledgeable commercial litigator, she’s a strong choice, but be prepared to manage your own expectations regarding communication speed.
