Meghan Lonardo is a partner at Ghandi Deeter Blackham, where she passionately helps clients navigate high-asset, high-conflict divorce and custody cases. She brings a unique blend of empathy and expertise to her practice, supported by a strong academic background in economics and tax, including an advanced legal degree in Taxation (LLM). This solid foundation allows her to adeptly manage the complex financial aspects of prenuptial agreements and divorce cases.
Nearly a decade ago, Meghan found herself navigating the same challenging waters she now guides her clients through. At that time, she was an attorney but not yet practicing primarily in family law. This personal experience prompted her to change her practice area, allowing her to offer a level of attention and detail that only someone who has been on both sides of the process can provide. Her firsthand understanding of the emotional and financial complexities involved in family law cases makes her an exceptional advocate for her clients.
Meghan’s skills shine both in and out of the courtroom. She is a formidable litigator, known for her strategic thinking and persuasive arguments. At the same time, she excels in mediation and negotiation, often finding amicable resolutions that serve her clients’ best interests. Her ability to break down complicated legal and financial issues ensures that her clients are well-informed and confident in their decisions.
In addition to her legal work, Meghan is deeply committed to giving back to her community and her church. She regularly volunteers her time and expertise to various charitable organizations and community initiatives, reflecting her dedication to making a positive impact both professionally and personally.
Meghan’s dedication to continuous learning and personal growth extends beyond her legal practice. She frequently attends legal seminars and workshops to stay up-to-date with the latest developments in family law. Outside of her professional life, she finds joy in attending concerts and experiencing live music, immersing herself in the vibrant energy of performances.
Family is at the heart of Meghan’s life. She cherishes spending quality time with her family and encouraging them in their endeavors. Meghan and her husband love exploring new destinations together, attending musical performances, and visiting wineries. Her passion for classic, timeless fashion is evident in her knowledge of major fashion houses and her curated collection of timeless pieces. Additionally, Meghan maintains close relationships with her extended family, and treasures the moments they share together.
Meghan’s unique combination of personal experience, academic excellence, and professional dedication makes her a trusted and effective advocate for her clients, capable of handling the most challenging family law cases with skill and compassion.
