Pure awesomeness

Tami is helpful, honest, passionate and caring. She answered all of our questions thoroughly without making us feel stupid or bothersome (even though we were totally a handful:). We'd like to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for helping us through such a horrible process. We've already recomme...nded your services to a friend because we hope you can help them in the same way you were able to help us. Thanks so much for your services!

contested adoption

I would like to start out by saying that Tammy is by far one of the most passionate person I've ever met when it comes to what she does. She loves what she does and it shows through her hard work. I would recommend her a million times over. Not only her but her entire firm. They worked very hard f...or our families case. She answered any and all questions that we had. If we didn't understand she would put it in terms that we did understand. I can't thank their firm enough for what they did for our family. I give the 100 out of 10!!!! Amazing isn't even a word good enough to describe this woman.

We are FOREVER grateful for Tami and her entire staff.

If I could only put into words how pleased I am with the services that Tami Meister has provided for our family....the process and circumstances of adoption were very stressful for our family. Tami provided us always with a sense of relief and assurance. While in court, she never missed a beat and kn...ew ALL THE facts in our case! She was our voice....and a STRONG voice she had! She's confident, brilliant and very knowledgeable! I would definitely recommend the services of any of the lawyers at Butler and Giraurdo! We have had contact in some way with all 3 lawyers in their firm, and all 3, just being in their presence, gave us a sense of having the upper hand! We are now an "official" family!! Our experience with this lawyer, Tami Meister, and this law firm are beyond exceptional!

Highly Recommended

I would highly recommend Tamara Meister to any of my friends or family members in need of a divorce attorney. From my very first encounter with her, Tami was professional, knowledgeable and friendly. She was always prepared for our meetings, highly communicative and made me feel very comfortable th...roughout the entire process. Tami always responded to me in a timely manner when I called or emailed her, and thoroughly answered all my questions--even when I had to ask a second time to clarify something so that I understood exactly what was going on. She was very good about putting things into "layman's terms" so that I was fully informed of every step of divorce process. Tami is personable and approachable which are important qualities when you are faced with the unpleasantness of divorce. She felt like a friend as well as my attorney. I was very satisfied with her services as well as the treatment I received from everyone in the law office. I would not think twice about recommended Tamara Meister!

Relationship: Co-worker

"I have practiced law with Tami for over three years, and she is one of my law partners. I can not say enough about Tami's drive, energy, commitment and intellect. She is absolutely dedicated to her clients and always focuses on finding a solution to their issues rather than simply allowing the course of litigation to take over. When litigation becomes necessary, however, she is impeccably prepared for every trial, and is a zealous advocate."
