Avoid

The second time I asked him to stop agreeing to things with opposing council without talking to me, he called me hard to work with and recommended I find another attorney. I asked my next attorney if making decisions without consulting the client was normal and he said, "No, that's just a bad lawyer...." Disregarded every comment I made, did things directly against what I asked him to do, gave my ex whatever she was asking for on multiple occasions without asking for anything in return or even trying to negotiate. If you like being talked down to, this is your guy.

Awesome Attorney!

Mr Meyer helped me out with a modification in my old divorce decree. The one I had was not very specific enough and he made it to where it's more specific to where my ex could follow; including myself. He did so much for me and when I had a question he was always there to help me no matter what I wan...ted to ask. He is a awesome attorney and I would recommend him to anyone who needs a good attorney.

A blessing

David has been a huge blessing to our family. We contacted him and explained why we needed a lawyer he got us an appointment right away. He is always working hard on our case and keeps us updated. Its hard for me to let go of control when It's something I want but with David he makes it easy. I know ...he will do the very best for us and update me along the way. I would recommend David! He is a huge blessing to us and is helping us grow our family through adoption.

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.
