Adam Gynac

Divorce and separation lawyer | Dec 11

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I regularly see Mr. Meents litigate cases in Grundy and Will Counties, among the other geographies he practices in. Mr. Meents is a sharp, knowledgable advocate who also brings a wealth of business experience to his practice from his time in the corporate world prior to becoming an attorney. Mr. Meents also has an excellent client-based focus in his work, where he does his best to communicate every aspect of the litigation process to his clients, and also be responsive to their individual needs. I would recommend Mr. Meentz as a capable attorney to any prospective clients seeking counsel."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
