Highly recommended

I hired Meredith to represent me in a divorce/child custody case. Meredith was informative, compassionate, easy to work with, prompt with all her responses and explained everything in a way that I could understand. The whole legal process is long and stressful, but both Meredith and her paralegal, Ar...in made it all less scary. In the end I was highly satisfied with my outcome and I could tell Meredith really cared. She also knew that as a single mother finances were tight for me and she was happy to work with me in that area as well. I would highly recommend her.

I would find another attorney!

I would highly recommend you find a different attorney. She claims she did things for a certain period of time, and when I talked to the person she talked to during that time, they said it was drastically less time. When I got a new attorney and they reviewed her charges, they confirmed she overcharg...ed. Charged for EVERYTHING, and beefed up the time to seem longer. She didn't do anything for my case, so I got another attorney and I regret wasting so much time and money with her services. I would suggest you learn from my mistake and go woth someone else. She talked down to me when she didn't agree, and for what she was charging she could have pretended to be nice. I'm sure she has helped people, but I wasn't one of them.

I am sorry that you feel this way. I would encourage you to contact me. If these concerns were brought to my attention, they could have been addressed. I do not over-charge clients and do not nickel and dime them. My hourly rates are comparable or low when looking at others in my practice area with the same amount of experience. I always tell my clients to contact me if they have questions about their bill. I would never speak down to a client and pride myself on being kind and compassionate. Sometimes no matter how hard we try, we cannot make everyone happy and the law often dictates what we can and cannot do. I have helped hundreds of people get out of bad situations, with good results. I was never made aware by anyone that they felt the way this reviewer felt. I can't explain or fix something if it's not brought to my attention.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
