Clifford Meirowitz

Mr. Meirowitz has been our lawyer for over twenty years. He has worked with us on will, trusts and other legal matters. He always responds thoughtfully to questions and offers sound and sensitive advice and guidance. We very highly recommend him.

Top Lawyer

For the past 7 years I have Hired Mr Meirowitz to represent our organization and the people we are entrusted to advocate for as being their fiduciary. During the course of this time , this has been in excess of more than 100 cases in a variety of different matters including but not limited to Eld...er Law , trusts , estates , Guardianship , Litigation ,real estate. The nature of our organization is that we are in court on many different matters and deal with attorneys on a constant basis. My experience with Mr Meirowitz has been only with high praise. The knowledge and skill he possesses is unmatched in the fields that we have retained him. I would definitely recommend him.

Buyer Beware

For the past two years the law firm of Clifford Meirowitz has represented me and my sister in a trust matter. He no longer represents me. My opinion of his representation was not positive. In our initial conversations with him I felt he was solicitous to represent us for a trust case, hoping to g...et a larger guardianship case. During the representation, when he realized that we were not interested in pursuing a guardianship proceeding, I felt he resisted our requests for additional help sorting out discrepancies and missing information in the trust case. When the court circulated a proposed settlement and I responded to him with our thoughts he informed me that he no longer wanted to represent me because we had a difference in opinion. He “strongly recommended” that I seek other counsel. At the point where the proposed settlement had been circulated one can well imagine that to get a new lawyer up to speed would be extremely expensive and serve little purpose. It is my opinion that this law firm was happy rubbing elbows with other lawyers and taking whatever fees they could get to ride along with the case, or to get a guardianship proceeding that would then lead to a much bigger will contest. Short of their client deciding to do either, their interest in anything conflictual with the court or other lawyers was out of the question. My expectation when a lawyer represents me is for a lawyer to "represent” and advise me. I do not feel that this lawyer did either in a way that lead to positive results.

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.
