Excellence above all

Leadership by example, the entire law firm of Richard D. Meinders represents not only the name, but the person. The staff provides the right answers to your questions and concerns while providing support in a time of need. Mr. Meinders has been one of the two legal representatives that I have used in... the past 22 years. He and his firm has been there for two purchases, three sales, provided information, guidance and services concerning elder care, elder law and estate planning. Knowledgeable, Compassionate and Trustworthiness is the standard that Mr. Meinders has established and this establishes him and this firm a cut above. Thank you for all of your years of service Sincerely

*****10 STAR RATING*****

10 stars - not only is Richard Meinders knowledgeble and reliable he is truly a humanist and puts the needs of his clients first. He's a genuine great listener and I am impressed with his service from his staff to the warm culture you can feel in his office. He exceeded my expectations! . Reasonably... priced too-shopped one other attorney in the area whose price was higher.

Very competent attorney

Richard Meinders made everything very clear and easy to understand, which gave me confidence in hiring him when I had to make some difficult decisions regarding my Will and Trust. I have recommended Richard Meinders to family and friends.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
