Thank you David Mejias!

I retained David Mejias in my divorce proceedings back in 2010. David was great to deal with. He was very prompt to respond to my questions, especially when it came to custody of my two children, and he even had to rewrite half the documents for my ex's lawyer. In the end, I was extremely satisfied ...with my entire settlement and I found his pricing to be reasonable for his time and expertise. He has always made himself available (5 years later) if I have any follow-up questions.

Misconduct

Arrogant and has no integrity. Will lie through his teeth to get a ruling in his favor. He also dates his clients and lies about it

David Mejias will destroy your family and bankrupt you.

Hire david mejias if you want to destroy your family. This failed politician has been arrested and charged with crimes multiple times and makes his living spinning his clients into endless court drama to rack up fees and bankrupt families. He uses the most inflammatory tactics to keep the fight goin...g as long as he can and creates rifts between spouses that can never be healed, and targets young children to use as pawns. Don’t believe this review, you should google his name and see for yourself. Also, ask around about him with other lawyers and the community will confirm his reputation. He operates without any fear of his reputation and refers to his clients cases as ‘pieces of s**t’ and complains to other attorneys about how much money they owe him. David mejias is only looking for his piece of your net worth and I suggest you do your own due diligence before thinking of hiring him because his poor reputation is everywhere to be found.

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.
