Excellent Attorney

I hired Meredith to assist with a DUI that I received. I was very hesitant about spending the money on an attorney because I really saw no hope in getting out of my DUI. She let me know up front that I had an uphill battle, but she charged on through for me and won that battle. She is an excellent... attorney and fights hard for her clients. I will recommend her to anyone who needs help.

My thoughts

I found myself in a position that required representation after being arrested for DWI just over the state line in Walker County, GA. I called the only attorney I had used before hoping for an attorney I knew I was comfortable with. However, I found that focusing on cases in Tennessee, they were... not licensed for GA. So, I then did some online research to find someone in or near Chatt that could help me. With a list of about 5 numbers, I started calling. All but one of the receptionists took my name and number indicating they would call back with a time that the lawyer could meet me. Those meetings were from two to four weeks out. But, I was in a hurry. I didn't want to wait that long just to find out that I didn't want to hire someone! I was able to speak to one attorney on a first call. While he, too, wasn't licenses for GA; he gave a professional referral that I call Mrs Ziebold based off of his knowledge of her experience. When I did, I was able to hear back from her rather quickly. Considering, I wanted to get moving and she was highly recommended, we set an initial consultation. Looking back, that process seems somewhat rushed or wreck less. However, Mrs Ziebold had a way off making me comfortable in a situation that is embarrassing and frustrating. She thought of and asked many questions that might not have applied to my case. But, that showed me she is thorough. The consultation was rather long and she never rushed me out of there or to make a decision. To hire her took a set fee or the case- no matter how quick or how drawn out it was. I always thought that was a risky agreement for the client. But, I guess it is, too, for the attorney. Since previously talking to the other receptionists, it seemed pretty typical for this type of case. I'm sure that's a standard way to charge derived through experiences the legal industry has lived through by representing DWI charges. I say all that because I believe my case was one that ended up being postponed with many mornings in court and arroused frustration from me. Yet, Mrs Ziebold was consistently optimistic, professional, and diligent. In the end, we entered the court room with a picture of what we both believed was a best-case scenario. That best case scenario was the ruling. Her diligence paid off. Not for her- because she was already paid...but for me. She didn't waste time, but she took as much time as she thought needed. That seemed to be just the right amount. So, in summary...she was prompt, she was understanding and comfortable, her fee was fair, and she was thorough. I don't ever want to need her again (or any attorney for that matter). But, I highly recommend her.

Highly Recommend!!

Mrs. Ziebold represented me in two serious cases one being a DUI and the second being a vehicle lien settlement resulting from the DUI arrest. I have previously worked with two attorneys and by far she has been the best. I called her office Saturday and within a matter of minutes I had received a c...all back to schedule a consultation. During my consultation I could tell she was very confident in her abilities and knew I could trust her to represent me. She was always accessible, personable, and never gave me false hope. She worked diligently on my cases and always made sure to update me as they progressed. She was able to resolve my DUI case in less than three months with a remarkable outcome. The settlement case was resolved without me owing any additional money to the vehicle lien holder which was more than I could have asked for. Meredith came to me highly recommend and exceeded any expectations I had regarding my cases. I would recommend her to anyone who hopes to achieve the best possible outcome for their case.

Defendant

I have hired Meredith for two different cases involving two separate unrelated charges at different times. I was referred by a friend and hesitant because I had not had pleasant experiences in the past with other lawyers, however, she was very professional when meeting and reassured me that she and h...er firm would do all possible that they could to save me from any charges and/or harsh punishment. My charges were public intoxication & disorderly conduct and a separate case of domestic assault. She had my public intox & disorderly conduct dismissed with a couple days of community service and then a year later when charged with domestic assault had it dismissed with a drug and alcohol evaluation (which was super easy). I would highly recommend calling Meredith if you end up in trouble because I guarantee she will do all she can to lessen the charges or get them dismissed. I have since referred a friend with a 2nd offense DUI charge, in which I feel sure will end with the best outcome possible for his scenario.
