A Compassionate & Excellent Attorney
If you need representation for employment law, Meredith is one of the best. The scenario I went through was daunting and emotionally draining. But with Meredith's guidance, I felt like I could regain my agency in the situation. She navigated it expertly, calmly and was always in complete control. I never would have had the positive outcome I did without her and I'm grateful that I found her services.

Meredith is an expert in her field of practice
I have worked with Meredith a dozen times in the last 3+ years for my startup. Meredith has always provided sound legal advice, and she is a person I can trust full-heartedly. Meredith has enormous knowledge and is an expert in her field of practice. I feel very comfortable having Meredith has my company's legal counsel.

Fast, Professional
I reached out to Meredith about some questions I had about an LLC I setup in the past. She was really helpful and pointed me in the right direction. I would definitely work with her in the future.

Extremely Helpful
Although it was clear we may not be the best fit to work together, Meredith still took time to chat with me and provide helpful insight and direction about my situation. While she could have been only interested in getting my business, she made the recommendations that were best for my situation and provided me with clarity for how to move forward. Highly recommended and thank-you for your time Meredith! Aloha

Clear advice, prompt
Meredith provided clear, succinct advice on my situation. After reading through the legal documents and hearing my backstory, she explained why it was not as "simple" as a previous lawyer had indicated. Her explanations made complete sense to me, completely illiterate in legalese, and I feel like I will be taken care of when moving forward in the situation.

Unprofessional attitude, pompous
She was volunteering for a workshop to assist with name changes. Typically it takes 6-8 weeks, from others who have gone through this experience. Seven months later, there was a mix up with the court. She was unprofessional, and had a pompous attitude with me for no reason. Her words via email to me were (and I quote) "I am serving as your attorney (mind you, for free)" She would continually throw in my face that she was volunteering, but mind you, that was her choice. She then told me, and I quote," Not attitude - just want you to understand that I (obviously) handle original documents for clients all the time. " I have never met an attorney that speaks to clients this way.

Response from Meredith Miller September 13, 2019
I am sorry that you had a bad experience, even after all that was done to attempt to rectify apparent miscommunications between the clerk's office and the court. I strive, as I did in this instance, for the utmost client satisfaction, no matter the context of the representation. As you know, I have always made myself available, and I remain available, to discuss your specific concerns directly.
