Truly a blessing
Atty. Behgooy took over my case before the pandemic. When I first met Atty. Behgooy, I hit the bottom, can not find a job because of my case, and relying on my prayers, believing that God will help me through. I have a job now with the help of Atty. Behgooy’s letter, and busy helping in fighting the pandemic as an epidemiologist. Having her as my lawyer is truly a blessing. “Nothing is covered up that will not be revealed, or hidden that will not be known. Therefore whatever you have said in the dark shall be heard in the light, and what you have whispered in private rooms shall be proclaimed on the housetops. (Luke 12:2-3)

Excellent Professional
All I can say is that Meredith Esq. is a fast efficient professional and concise badass criminal defense attorney. She knows the ropes and she knows how the system works. She reassured me with options and executed my decisions with a calm cool professionalism. I am most grateful and feel very fortunate for having her on my side. She managed my case with a sharpened skill that was able to conclude this matter much quicker than I expected. What a relief to have my case conclude so quickly. Time is money and she wasted no time. I highly recommend this top-notch professional for anyone needing a tough smart veteran criminal defense attorney.

Blessed of God
Meredith Behgooy was recently assigned as My son's public defender by the courts. My son had been wrongfully accused of a crime. And I must admit, I had reservations about the diligence of a court appointed attorney to defend him. However, after seeing her immdiate attentiveness to getting the facts and evidence to understand what he'd been accused of and why. I realized God had heard my prayer and anointed her to defend him. She spoke with my son admonishing him to give her the whole truth. She gathered the evidence proving that there was no way for him to be their suspect. She explained the steps of her defense process to us. She contacted the investigating officers, providing them with that evidence, and requested the case be thrown out, and it was. If I had to do a commercial for Meredith it would be, "Been hauled in to jail, need legal representation, call Meredith Behgooy to defend you, she'll fight for justice for your situation..." Meredith, thank you for working so hard for us. You are priceless!! I can tell this is your vocation, not just your profession. May God Bless you abundantly always!
