Talented Attorney
Unfortunately, I believe Mr. Meyer is now working in the business world, continuing to work with his expansive and still expanding knowledge of construction and business issues. Mr. Meyer was always able to understand my issues and work toward identifying cost effective and swift resolution to my problems. Mr. Meyer will fight the battle if that is the right thing to do, but if business concerns require an alternative approach, he is a superb negotiator. If he was ever to return to private practice, I would strongly recommend you look him up.
