About Meghan

Meghan Lewallen is a partner at The Mellino Law Firm. She provides insight into rising generations and their courtroom preferences, exploring how shared experiences shape values, attitudes, worldviews, and behaviors. She highlights millennials' need for knowledge and expertise, preference for open dialogue, and propensity to work in a team, as well as their short attention span and need to be entertained, encouraging the use of media and digital aids in the courtroom. She also discusses Generation Z or iGen, noting their 8-second attention span and deep cynicism. Meghan outlines strategies for successful presentation, including structure and instruction, embracing technology, using visuals, checklists and timelines, and animation. She applies her knowledge to real-world situations, factoring juror values into high-stakes medical malpractice trials. She has taken significant leadership roles in two charitable community organizations: the West Side Catholic Center (Associated Board member since December) and The First Tee of Cleveland (Ambassador’s Committee since January).
