Executive Director

After receiving a letter in the mail from Atty. Meekins, I researched her organization online. Feeling confident about the information, I called and she responded immediately. She took the time to listen to me, explaining possible options. During the entire process I felt at ease. She was always pr...ofessional and available whenever I contacted her. If a friend needed an attorney, I would recommend Ms. Meekins.

A Professional Attorney/Highly Recommended

Attorney Meekins represented me for an appeal of a speeding ticket in Hopewell, VA. While we did not meet in person, she was extremely prompt in returning phone calls. Her advice was clear and concise and she was able to negotiate a reduced charge that did not include points. I would recommend her to... others and though I would hope not to need her services in the future, I would not hesitate to contact her again.

Impeccable Expertise!

I was traveling with my family this past May, returning from South Carolina to Pennsylvania, we had attended the funeral of my dear uncle. We traveled in a 7 passenger van, mother, aunt,sisters of the deceased, dad, daughter, son and cousin. We were driving through Sussex when I was stopped with my... first ever speeding violation. Within weeks, I had a slew of mail from attorneys. Luckily I received Ms. Meekins letter among many others. Ms. Meekins was and is exceptional from the very first phone call that I made to her. First I have to mention that I actually have a pre-paid legal service that I pay a small monthly fee. The lawyer I spoke with gave me a completely unfavorable outcome which would have involved taking an online driving class, and points on my license. Ms. Meekins very confidently articulated an outcome which would not involve points in addition to a reduced charge. Needless to say I hired Ms Meekins and everything turned out exactly as she stated! I truly appreciated her experience and responsiveness, plus eliminating any concerns about my insurance going up! Thank you Ms Meekins!

Reduced my charge and fine.

Ms. Meekins, Esq. was helpful from the beginning. She worked with me over phone and email because I live in Pennsylvania. She reviewed my alleged charge, gave me clear instructions throughout the process, prepared my case, went to court for me, and had my charge reduced along with my fine - all for... a very reasonable fee. She was very professional and took my calls on the weekend when needed. I could not have asked for a better defense attorney. When I was anxious about my case, Ms. Meekins allayed my fears and put me at ease. I knew she would perform well. Thank you Ms. Meekins - Lewis, Saint Marys, PA

Speeding Ticket Dismissed

I got a speeding ticket and wanted to have it dismissed. I contacted Attorney Meekins. She was very professional, kept me abreast of my case, and always returned my calls. I had to go to driving school, didn't mind at all. I just didn't want the ticket on my record, and Attorney Meekins accomplished ...my goal. If you should find yourself in that kind of unfotunate situation, or worse, I highly recommend you hire Attorney Ayesha Meekins as your attorney.
