Always a great experience

It's always a pleasure dealing with Merideth Nagel. She is very knowledgeable and professional . I have been doing business with Ms. Nagel since 2009 and I'm happy to see the same smiling faces every time I go back. She has assisted my family and I with real estate transactions and estate planning. I... would highly recommend hiring her.

Short Sale Property Sale

It was one of my best decesions to use Ms. Nagle as my attorney for my recent legal affairs...in partcular, the Short Sale of my property. She is caring and pays special attention to not only the legal affairs, but the emotional stress. The staff including Myraliz, Michelle, Susan, and others were ...personally attentive and not only professional but personally caring. It was especially gratifying to have a 'team' caring for me since we had to conduct our business from a long distance. My wife and I are personally grateful for Ms. Nagle and her staff for thei professional and personal care to our legal problems and would recommend them to our family and friends.

Real Estate Law- Excellence/Community Focused

I recently worked with Ms. Nagel's office as I was closing my home in the Clermont, Fl area. The team was quick to reach out to me when I had questions and swiftly resolved any discrepancies between my real estate agent and the buyer's agent. Beyond her staffs' professionalism, their sense of commu...nity and caring for the well being of all involved was apparent throughout the process. I look forward to working with her office on future real estate deals.

Dedicated and professional

My husband and I own two Chicago based businesses with a total of 50 employees. We recently opened an office in Naples, Florida. I needed help navigating lien laws, as we are a contractor, along with the usual help of keeping our corporate registrations up to date. The law office of Merideth Nagel..., PA has been very responsive, clear in their communications, and has walked us step by step through various Florida laws. I highly recommend them. They show a high degree of concern for their clients' well being, and for the security of their clients' assets.

A lawyer you can trust!

Merideth is a lawyer you can trust. She has helped my family on a number of fronts. We had to settle an estate of a Grand Parent and we agreed on what amount of money should be on a retainer. Some of the complications that were expected were overcome and her amount of time ended up to be much less... to solve the problems. The refund was agressive and timely. This does not happen in todays world. Lake County is a great place and my family has been here a long time. You are safe when you hire Mrs. Nagel to take care of what ever legal representation you need.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
