Moral Character Application Review
Don’t let issues from your past come back to haunt you when you apply for admission to the State Bar.
The smallest youthful indiscretion can derail your moral character application and cost you valuable time if you do not handle it well in the initial application. Arrests, DUIs, guilty pleas (even when expunged), accusations of academic dishonesty, unpaid debts, and countless other issues can lead the moral character committee to hold up your application and prevent your admission.
The rest of your class may be admitted to practice and employed in law firms while you wait for the moral character committee to convene a hearing, and you may even have to appeal a negative determination in court. A moral character trial can mean your application is delayed well over a year.

Practicality. All advice and meetings were centered around what was MOST useful, which was extremely helpful for bringing an uncomfortable situation to a resolution.
Human Touch. Megan was always cognizant of the human aspect in her responses and interactions.
Experience. I followed Megan’s advice and I achieved the result I wanted through a process I was prepared for by Megan. Couldn’t ask for a better confidence booster.

I had a previous attorney and I am so happy I changed to Megan Zavieh. Megan Zavieh was extremely efficient and competent. She is very knowledgeable of the ins and out of CA bar admission process and she has really good instincts. She was so fast at analyzing my case and coming up with strategies. She was instrumental in increasing my confidence when it came time to meet with sub committee of Bar Examiners. She also cared about the results of the process which was so helpful because I didn’t feel alone against the big administrative machine. I could not have done this without her. Recommend very highly.

Megan was honest and experienced and that the process could be done electronically. The whole process went smoothly and Megan and her team were pleasant to work with. Also, that it resulted in an approved MCA!
