Great Attorney! !

John Meehan was the best lawyer I could have asked for. He was extremely passionate and gave me updates often about the process and what he was doing. Not only was he honest and very professional he was able to get me a $50,000 settlement for an accident that I was found to be at fault. I will never... use another lawyer and I would recommend him to anyone who needs serious legal help. Thanks John!

John J. Meehan is a Star in the Making

I recently had a need for legal representation in the City of St. Louis. Upon searching for an attorney, I remembered the sharp, well-spoken neighbor John Meehan's profession was an attorney at Meehan Law just west of Lafayette Square. John was by far the most impressive lawyer that has represented m...e. His friendly (yet professional demeanor), quick thinking skills, and legal relationships in the city of St. Louis provided me the representation I needed to address my legal situation in a timely fashion. John was super helpful in the following ways: 1. John's response time to my initial call was less than an hour. John and the Meehan Law Firm pride themselves on responding to clients in need in a timely, professional manner. 2. John is well a well-respected attorney in the justice system and is able to resolve legal issues using his advanced, specialized legal knowledge that both defense and prosecution stakeholders must respect and acknowledge. John was very helpful in addressing my legal issue by simply speaking directly to the city using diplomatic discussion and legal knowledge. 3. The most common phrase I heard from John during the process of addressing my legal situation is, "I just want to help people." and he really means it. John is from the area, understands the formal and informal challenges of the citizens needing defense services in the area, and can therefore empathize on the client level when needing the legal representation. In other words, “He’s lived and walked the streets of St. Louis, understands the law, and understandings the Police and Government first hand”. 4. John was able to rapidly absorb my situation, present several options to my disposal, and offer services based off of need, not just “to get paid”. In my scenario, it turned out the initial cost for my legal representation was quoted higher that what I was actually billed. John is not going to fleece you for charges for services not needed. John is a rising star in the legal profession and I highly recommend his services in the event you are in need of a defense attorney.

Never Gave Up

Attorney Meehan was amazing. I got into trouble and even when I got picked up on additional charges, he never stopped fighting for me. He's the reason I am not sitting in jail for a bad stop. Thank you John.
