About Margaret
Margaret Megerian built her legal foundation at Davidson College, where she earned a Bachelor of Arts in English in 2001. She stayed in the state for law school and received her J.D. from North Carolina Central University in 2006. Those years shaped her approach to careful analysis and attention to written advocacy.
Her early work placed her inside the court system. In 2006 she served as an assistant to the Trial Court Coordinator at the Center for Death Penalty Litigation. That role exposed her to complex procedural and evidentiary issues in serious criminal cases and to the pressures of high-stakes litigation. She later moved into private practice and, by 2009, took on an associate position at Megerian & Wells in Asheboro.
Megerian's career has mixed courtroom experience with public service. In 2013 she held membership on the Randolph County Board of Elections, a role that involved oversight and community interaction during election cycles. She has also maintained a longstanding link to the North Carolina Bar Association's Family Law Division, joining in 2009 and remaining active. That association reflects an ongoing interest in family law matters alongside her broader legal work.
Her community involvement extends beyond the courthouse. Between 2011 and 2015 she served on the board of the Randolph Arts Guild and worked as a volunteer presenter for the Family Life Council over the same period. Those roles indicate an engagement with civic and cultural organizations in Randolph County and a willingness to take part in local initiatives outside of private practice.
Colleagues describe Megerian as methodical and steady in court. Her early exposure to capital litigation and her years in a private firm environment have given her a practical view of how cases progress from filing to resolution. She has handled contested hearings and negotiated settlements, and she is familiar with the procedural rhythms of North Carolina trial courts.
She practices at Megerian & Wells in Asheboro. Her current work centers on family law cases, informed by prior courtroom experience in both civil and criminal matters.
