Review Lee Meadows

License Revocation

Posted by

Attorney Meadows was able to resolve a complex license revocation issue that required interfacing with Florida State DMV Headquarter’s staff. Within a few minutes of our First phone consultation, he Had already gotten the ball rolling and within just a few days, the issue was resolved and my license was reinstated.. All this in the middle of the pandemic!

Lee Meadows Made a Horrible Situation Go Away

Posted by

My son made a horrible mistake that could have cost him his job and ruined his life! We were referred to Lee and I am so very thankful! Lee's professional manner and expertise soon had the charges completely dismissed and he was friendly and concerned and gave my son some very good, strong advice too. I will always recommend Lee if anyone needs help with a DUI or anything else.

The best legal help I've ever gotten! Honest to the tee.

Posted by

Lee went to bat for me after the Florida DMV put the screws to me with a mistake they made in a hearing. He found their mistake, presented it to the judge and the judge ruled in my favor. He also gave the DMV a chance to reverse their decision and they admitted they were wrong but they would not reverse it and made the judge rule them wrong. Lee beat them like a champ.

The client comes first

Posted by

I contacted 4 attorneys and all they wanted was for me to pay $5,000 and they’d take care of it. I contacted Mr Meadows and he told me about the veterans court system (VTC). He moved my case over to VTC, this made him loose money on my case, but taking care of his clients is more important to him. This is an honorable attribute to see from an attorney.

By far best attorney I could’ve asked for

Posted by

Lee meadows would get 100 + if it were available.lee is not your average attorney that just tells you what you want to hear for your dollar signs.he puts forth every effort and every reasource he has to ensure the best possible outcome. Always readily available he responded to emails promptly even on the weekends. He does not tell you anything he isn’t for sure on. And most importantly you hire lee you get Lee. Lee was successful in the dismissal of my dui case and I would recommend him to anyone needing legal assistance.

Amazing

Lee was amazing---always available when we needed to discuss something specific with him, and provided us with regular updates, even if it was just that he was waiting on a return call, which really made us feel like he was making us a priority. Was able to get us in contact with the right people in order to get our issue resolved quickly and efficiently. Highly recommend!!

Outstanding

Posted by

Shortly after hiring Lee, our son experienced an extremely debilitating illness, during which, he was unable to communicate with Lee. Lee spent the next 18 months in constant contact with my son and myself, regularly requesting and obtaining deferrals. Recently, through Lee's persistence, all charges were dropped. Fantastic outcome from a fantastic attorney.
