The second came as a fortunate result to a very unfortunate situation. Megan was in a serious car accident and needed an attorney to help her take on the insurance company. Eventually, she found herself working for her attorney and enjoying the fine details of law and research. Megan did her undergrad at Cal State Northridge where she majored in sociology and criminology. After graduating, she enrolled in University of West Los Angeles, juggling a heavy course load while working full time at a personal injury law firm.
