Professional, Organized & Knowledgeable

Meika has helped me in the past in a number of different cases. As a small business owner, I (and I assumed most of us wearing multiple hats at work) need a lawyer that can work at your side in order to resolve all types of cases that can arise from day to day operations. Meika has proved to be an ex...cellent asset to any organization or individual looking for a professional, well organized and knowledgeable of the field she is working with. She can explain a very complex case in a very understandable manner, and give you all the options available; all after she has spent enough time researching each case. Although she can’t be involved in every case or situation it arises, Meika takes the time to research and guide you to the right person that may be more knowledgeable in a specific area. Honesty, not only to her clients, but to her profession, is one of the qualities I admire the most. I would highly recommend Meika to anyone or any company looking for an honest and professional attorney that can solve a variety of cases, and can give you first rate advice.

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.
