Mr. Meadows consulted me about a legal matter I was very worried about. He put my mind at ease and handled it quickly and professionally. His 35+ years experience definitely gave me peace of mind! Highly Recommend!

We hired Mr. Meadows to represent our college student in an alleged DUI case that also involved a threatened driver license suspension and the potential for university discipline. Mr. Meadows succeeded in obtaining a dismissal of the alleged DUI charge, overturning the driver license suspension, and avoiding serious university discipline. Mr. Meadows is also working to obtain an expungement of the alleged DUI charge. Like a "one stop shop," Mr. Meadows successfully handled the alleged DUI charge and the related matters that arose from it. Most importantly, he got excellent results all along the way. Throughout the process, Mr. Meadows was kind, patient, always available when needed, generous with his time, and explained the process and available options in an easily understandable way. We were so glad someone recommended Mr. Meadows to us, and now we are paying it forward by highly recommending him to you.

After a series of bad decisions a few years ago, I lost my drivers license. I was labeled a habitual traffic offender and getting my license back wouldn’t be easy. I had been researching traffic lawyers, talked to many offices, and finally my gut instinct told me to go with Lee Meadows (which I am so glad I did!). He is no-nonsense, very honest, professional, AND caring. The process wasn’t fast and there were a lot of moving parts — all of which he took care of. I ultimately got my driver’s license back and I am so grateful. It is amazing how a good lawyer can change your life.

Mr. Meadows is honest, caring, and compassionate. His experience and calmness put us at ease. When you hire Mr. Meadows, you get Mr. Meadows. His assistant is also very polite and efficient. Mr. Lee Meadows gives attorneys a good name. He dealt with our son's case with efficiency and competence, and got the best result at the end. Best in Tallahasse!!

I cannot thank Mr. Meadows enough for his time and patience with my case. Other lawyers turned down taking on my case because they said there was nothing they could do but Mr. Meadows decided to take on the challenge. Would highly recommend contacting him if having any legal troubles especially a possible dui conviction.
