Knowledgeable

Meredith was thorough, understanding of my case, and reliable. She should contact me when information changed about the case I.e. ( time/date changed of case anything essential to the case). She personally returned my calls. I was very satisfied with how she handled the case and very satisfied on how... she professionally conducted herself.

Best Attorney Experience Ever!!!

Ms. Markham came as a recommendation from a past client of hers. I knew the direction and even the end result i wanted to achieve in a child custody case, I was unsure how to get there. Ms. Markham took the time to meet with me and hear the details of my case and gave me clear direction. She took con...trol of the case and we filed on May 6 and everything was complete and case closed on June 10,2016. I personally will using her in the future....as well as recommending her to family and friends for their legal needs

Easy to contact, highly knowledgeable

Meredith has handled our case as if it were her own. She has helped guide us through the proper steps to take to be in the best interest of my children along with fighting eagerly for our rights we deserve to get back. Even though this truly has been the worst thing a mother can experience, Meredith ...gave me comfort throughout the process by explaining what we should expect before, during and after our hearings so we weren't surprised with the outcome.
