Just wanted money

This lawyer was not what we were looking for. He would look around the room, stumble over his words and was not confident at all. He was very confident about asking for money. That’s it!!

I'm shocked at the reviews

My life was almost taken away from me due to a false arrest. My first lawyer tried to get me to take a plead and made me feel worst for standing for the truth. Meehan was the first beam of light. In my case he showed up and with the given evidence he won my case. I've grown up in the church and not o...nce done drugs or seen it in real life yet accused of selling. Life was crushed and I'm thankful for you Sr. Many blessing's to you and your family.

Great lawyer! Been my lawyer for years and without him I would be in jail for a long time. Although he doesn't return all your calls or show up for court all the time. He is capable, and is a beast on suppression hearings. If u are involved in your case with him he will work with you. Good guy. Smart.... Knows judges in philly. I have over 30 arrests and only 5 convictions with him as my lawyer.

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2021.

Stayed Suspension, Probation issued in PA, 2021

updated on 07/30/2021

Suspension means an attorney will lose his or her license to practice law for a period of time. When a suspension is stayed and the attorney is given probation, the State monitors the attorney's activities for a time. If the probation period is uneventful, the attorney returns to practice when it expires.

Censure issued in PA, 2006

updated on 03/28/2011

Censure means the attorney did something wrong but may still practice law. The State censures the lawyer in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior. Details of the infraction are made part of the public record.
