John R. Meldorf

John R. Meldorf III was my Worker's Compensation Lawyer several years ago. He was extremely likeable, respectful, and competent. John sent me copies of everything he presented to WC concerning my case. My settlement was for a much larger amount than I had expected. I highly recommend him for anyone w...ith a legal matter!

He has to be the worst lawyer practicing. He represented my daughter and after almost $20,000 cash and a year to go to court, she walked out of the courtroom in worse condition than when she walked in. She was told, and I heard it, that she would walk out with custody of her children; and that did...n't happen. She did the leg work and provided evidence; while he collected the money, and didn't use all of the evidence. She ended up with limited visitation and paying child support. The husband was of extremely poor character and couldn't provide for the kids; yet she lost. She had better character and the means to support and educate the children; yet the judge ruled otherwise. Mr. Meldorf chose the judge and venue. We wanted civil court; he chose chancery with a pitiful judge. He gave little counseling and what was given was poor; charged for subpoenas supposedly served yet people didn't show up; questions she was coached on were not asked; pertinent info he had was not used. Basically, everything he suggested she do came back to bite her. His strategy was exactly opposite from what the judge wanted.
