Very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful!

She and her staff are very knowledgeable and friendly. They were very helpful in every aspect of my custody case. I would highly recommend her and her firm for any family law needs.

Absolutely recommend!!

Tamara is AMAZING at what she does. She truly cares and 100% knows what she is doing and it shows. I was always nervous to face my son's father in court due to our history and she was always calm, cool, and collected not to mention supportive, confident, and reassuring. She helped me stay calm throug...h it all and I truly appreciate what she did for me so much. Her knowledge and passion and the way she carries herself in court are unmatched. I would 110% recommend Tamara to anyone looking for someone to hire to represent them in family court. You will be so happy you did!

Helpful and Active

My husband and I reached out to Tamara during the continuation of a custody battle with my ex husband. We had been told that we did not have a chance and that a settlement would be the only option. Of course, we felt that settling was not an option and would do anything to maintain our current visit...ation with the children. Our first meeting with Tamara affirmed our hope and courage to continue to fight. She agreed that the allegations and settlement was not acceptable and developed a plan of attack. Throughout the process, Tamara was prompt to return emails or messages. She also collaborated with her legal partners to ensure the best plan was put to action. I highly recommend Tamara Meister for child custody, child support, and family court. She is very kind, straight forward, and knowledgeable about family law. Thank you!

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!

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."
