Megan Hoxsey grew up in Evanston, IL – the first suburb outside of Chicago. She attended Emory University where she received her Bachelor of Arts in Sociology and continued on to Tulane University to receive her Masters of Social Work. She was a John E. Ryan Merit Scholar at the John Marshall Law School in Atlanta, GA before graduating in 2016 with her law degree from the Emory University School of Law on the Dean’s List.

Megan started her legal career as a Police Officer/Detective with the New Orleans Police Department where she eventually went on to train the New Orleans Police Department in domestic violence protocols. She was also named 2010’s Officer of the Year. Megan was also a part of the Atlanta Police Department where she was the first female Valedictorian of the Atlanta Police Department’s Police Academy. After spending time as a Domestic Violence Detective, Megan transitioned her career into family law where she knew her background would translate seamlessly with advocating for families in need. Megan has worked with the Atlanta Trial Lawyers Group, Emory University School of Law, the Georgia Attorney General’s Office, U.S. Attorney’s Office Northern District of Georgia and the DeKalb County District Attorney’s Office.

Megan truly enjoys being a participating member of the legal community.
