Criminal Defense 50%

I represent clients in District and Superior Court on charges ranging from misdemeanors to DWI's to low level felonies. The criminal justice system can be confusing and unfair. I do everything I can to help my clients navigate those challenges.

Posted by Rachel | February 11, 2019 | Hired Attorney | Guardianship

Absolutely wonderful!

I had a very complicated case regarding guardianship of a minor child and was represented by Mr. Meehan. I consulted with 4 different lawyers before deciding to hire him and I could not be more pleased with our outcome. Unlike the other lawyers I had consulted with, he took the time to thoroughly rev...iew all the documents I brought with me for the initial consultation. He took his time, asked intelligent and insightful questions, and seemed invested in learning all of the facts before agreeing to represent me. The other lawyers I consulted with simply gave a cursory glance to my documents and seemed more concerned with the clock on the wall. Mr. Meehan and his legal assistant, Niecy, were so very kind and compassionate, they genuinely cared and it was evident. They were both very accessible and all phone calls or emails were returned quickly. Our day in court is where Mr. Meehan really shined. He was prepared, precise, and the consummate professional. Not only did he have all documents for our side of the case, he provided documents for the opposing side when that lawyer was unprepared! As a result of his skills, we retained guardianship of the child and this beautiful little girl has a bright future ahead of her. We could not be more grateful or pleased with the way we were represented and the outcome of our case.
