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.

As a lawyer myself, I know how hard it is to trust someone to advance your cause before a Court. It is hard to give up control and simply have faith that your lawyer is working as hard on your case as you would work on priorities in your own life. Meredith was always available during my case, wheth...er just to act as a calming influence, or to keep me focused and realistic about the likely outcomes in my dispute. She is tireless, and has taken the time to carefully develop relationships with the people who actually help make things happen in the courtroom. She is highly respected by her peers and is simply a wonderful person as well.

I had a small claim with an insurance company that refused to compensate me for medical expenses I sought after being hit by their driver. The Chiropractor I visited suggested Attorney's Houston & Ziebold in Chattanooga. Mrs. Ziebold handled my case and was very good about keeping me up to date with ...the case, was very straight forward about what she was trying to do and what I should expect. My claim was minor, but they treated me respectfully and responded in a timely manor and worked with me on the settlement. They were able to settle on an amount that paid off the Chiropractor and provided some compensation for me as well. Very helpful. A+++

I hired Meredith Ziebold based on the reviews posted here and so I feel obligated to also post a review so that others do not make the same mistake. Although Ms. Ziebold answered most phone calls, sometimes it took several days for her to respond and in the end, I had to replace her because she coul...d not get any thing to move forward on the case. Because she did not appear in court on my family member’s behalf, things ended up being worse for my family member instead of better as one expects when one hires a lawyer, especially one with stellar reviews. Here are the details: I hired Ms. Ziebold to represent a family member who was incarcerated in another state and obviously unable to appear in the court where she was charged with crimes she did not commit. Meredith said she would be at court to let it be known why my family member was not there. She did not go and so when the family member was released in the other state, she had to wait 40 days in jail because she had a FTA in TN. We requested that Ms. Ziebold help us get her released, but after 30 days, nothing had changed. I finally ended up hiring another law firm because Ms. Ziebold was unable to help us. The other law firm was able to get the family member released within a week and all charges were dismissed.. This took about six weeks as compared to the six months we waited for Meredith to do something, and instead, she allowed matters to get worse. I do not doubt that Ms. Ziebold tried to work on this case, but she was unable to work in a way that had any results.

She talked a BIG talk!! But when we went to court she was not prepared and had done NOTHING on my case....and just advised me to plea. All the big talk about there being no cause for an arrest with NO sobriety field test done by the officer... just all talk. She didn't even review the tape of the... officer harassing me. I was told it would be reduced to misconduct on not show at all on a driving record. However, I found out when my employer did my yearly driving record pull that it is showing as DUI despite what I was told and despite the $3000.00 she was paid and the $2000.00 in court fines I was charged. All talk, no backbone for her client, no responsiveness to treating this case with seriousness, and did not keep me informed. I didn't even know she hadn't reviewed the video or done anything on my case until she advised me of this the DAY OF COURT! And she didn't respond to my email or VM msg about my possible job loss because of recent pull of background. DO NOT use her firm.
