Joe's a great lawyer

He did wills for me and my husband. He did a great job explaining some differences between Maryland estate laws and some other states. He is also handling my son's car accident lawsuit. It has been very difficult dealing with the insurance companies but once Joe came in it has been so much better....

Highly Recommend

Joe helped me with my divorce back in 2013. Everything was affordable and taken care of quickly. It was a tough time for me and I was treated with respect and felt heard. Joe also helped me with a custody issue in 2019 and was able to get me exactly what we asked for and worked hard to navigate throu...gh a difficult situation. Highly recommend. Would absolutely hire again.

Professional, attentive and knowledgeable...Highly recommend!

How’s this? I was referred to Joseph Meadows Law by a close friend, who’s divorce they had handled. My case was a family law issue that involved a Protective Order and I was concerned the Defendant would attempt to embarrass me in court for revenge. Joe was extremely professional and gave my case ...all the time and attention that was needed, in order to have a successful outcome. He was a calming and confident presence before, during and after court proceedings and has continued to be there if I have questions over a year later. I very much appreciate the knowledge and support I received from Joe and highly recommend him to anyone who wants someone well-known and respected in the county, who is professional and hard-working, but also caring and emotionally supportive.

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.
