Megan was born and raised in Moncks Corner, South Carolina, a small town about 30 miles north of Charleston.
While attending the Charleston School of Law, Megan served as a volunteer guardian ad litem, advocating for the best interests of children in abuse and neglect cases. She also had clerkships with the Charleston County Family Court and a local family law firm.
When Megan is not practicing law, she is attempting new recipes, trying to become a runner, singing loudly and offkey, and reading. Megan and her husband live in Ravenel with their children and cat.
Megan exclusively practices family law, representing residents of Charleston, Berkeley, Dorchester, and Horry counties.
Providing efficient representation for her clients is the foundation of Ms. Dell's practice. She offers exceptional service that is both affordable and effective, and is committed to pursuing fairness and integrity while advocating for your interests.
