Best Lawyer ever!!!!!

Darren Meyer's is one of the best lawyers I've ever met! From the moment I contacted him he was beyond helpful! He was affordable and reliable! He would even text me back when I would text with concerns just because I was scared! My charge was taken care of and I couldn't have done it without him...! Thank you very much!!!

What. Just. Happened.

Uhm. I really want to like him and Im pretty sure I would under different circumstances, but as my lawyer he was not good at all... Awful. Horrible. Makes me want to go to law school and practice in the same area to make him look like an idiot. Thank you for absolutely nothing and if anything, he mad...e me feel worse about a situation I absolutely never thought I'd be in. He didn't help at all and I have no idea what we paid for.

I have checked my records and I have not represented a client named Lindsey within the last 30 days. Please provide your last name so I can leave a detailed response.

OUTSTANDING

Reading one of the most recent reviews, I am also a former offender that was looking to be able to own a gun again. Mr Meyer applied compassion and understanding that not everyone that makes mistakes deserves to be punished the rest of their lives and he attacked my case with that same attitude. He... asked had my other rights yet been restored and from the moment i told him that they were he handled the rest and delivered the good news that my rights had been restored less than 3 weeks later. Couldn't ask for a better representative. Highly recommend

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.
