Eric Steven Meredith

I would avoid the family law side of JM at all costs. Eric Meredith will bleed you dry and leave you without any meaningful work product to show. At best…..1 star! High cost, low results, zero value! If you hire Eric, don’t expect communication or results. I heard from JM billing on average 3x more ...often than my legal team. After over eight years of paying Eric to handle my divorce/custody/equitable distribution, I find myself in a worse position and out nearly $100,000 in empty legal fees. A great example is a 2021 court order requiring my former spouse to pay me $175,000 and return all my personal property within a very finite amount of time (I believe 45 days). It is now 2026 and I still have not received the court-ordered money or a single item of personal property. Eric has refused multiple times to pursue enforcement of the order or file for contempt on the 2021 order. Eric and his team often refuse to react to opposing counsel’s blatant disregard of active court orders or will react only after several client requests. And even then, they do so half-heartedly and extremely slow. They certainly could never be accused of being proactive. Eric was supposed to handle arbitration and has billed handsomely for it, but after more than four years of failing to get anything scheduled, I had to take it upon myself to contact the appropriate professionals and get this scheduled. Another example of having been billed thousands for Eric to “handle” this with no results. I hired Eric to handle custody for me and my position has actually gotten progressively worse with Eric’s involvement. Mark Jetton and his team have proven more effective on assisting with family and custody issues than Eric and his family law team. Despite thousands of dollars in fees to Eric, I have less access to my children and I’ve had to personally work to fully facilitate the reunification process with my children without cooperation from Eric or his team. Again, all this despite thousands and thousands of dollars in billing to handle and facilitate reunification. Again, little to no work product supporting all those thousands of dollars and years of billings from the family law side of the business. Eric and his team have refused me access to my file or provide copies of motions, judgements or court proceedings. They get extremely defensive when I asked for status updates, pertinent correspondences or any type of work product showing progress. They have refused any “evidence” to support billings. It is my experience that Eric is extremely secretive and conducts himself professionally in a manner unbecoming and jeopardizes the reputation of JM daily.

Please do not hire this attorney, or anyone else in his firm. He rarely returns calls, is always unprepared for court, only consults with us the night before court dates, and is extremely arrogant inside and outside of the courtroom, which pissed off the judge. Fired him after he walked out of a he...aring, leaving his junior attorney to fight my case which he lost. Terrible lawyer, do not hire him.

Unfortunately, I lost too much money with Eric. He never prepared for court and never filed a motion against the other party. He was either very busy or showed little interest in my case after paying him over 50,000. His only interest was to put more money into the trust account so he could charge 2,...500 for an hour in court for which he wasn't prepared and didn't even know what he would say in front of the judge. After trying to prepare for court for weeks, he only met with me 30 minutes before court. He made only promises and no results. I had to fire him because my daughter's custody and my finances were at risk. The truth is, he never showed any results. His only interest was to get more money from me and charge extremely high prices without any results. He met with the other party's attorney and made decisions without my consent. He put too much pressure on me to sell a property that was my only guarantee to defend my other properties from my ex-wife, only to collect his money without any results. After speaking with several attorneys to take my case, none of them gave me a good opinion of Eric. Their opinion was that he only cares about money and never prepares his cases. He charged me too much money to obtain discovery from the other party, which had a deadline of 1/6/25, and at this point I never received it. Just small examples of how poorly I was represented and the waste of time and money with this attorney. Luis vasquez

I a currently still in the process of the divorce and custody but curveballs have been thrown and Eric has always been there for me. I trust him with my situation and I know he will do anything to make me feel protected, knowledgeable and comforted. He has fought for me no matter the circumstances th...at have been presented and there has been a few. I can count on him and you can too. Eric, I can never thank you enough. Thank you for being my advocate and making sure I have never felt alone!
