He is my hero, I am legal now. He is fast and capable

I just wanted to recomend him to anybody who needs a good immigration lawyer. Everything went really fast and right, his prices are fair and maybe un expensive. Thanks to him I am legal now. He also helped my uncle who had a lot of problems and who also came illegally as well but, he has his green ...card now. Me and everybody in our family are very gratefull with him for all he has helped us. I just wanted to say thank you Mr. Meade-

He is honest and efficient, I am very gratefull with his service.

He is just a wonderful human being and a great immigration lawyer. A lot of my friends recommended him and I noticed that from the beginning he was knowledgeable and truly cares about each case. He is just a really bright man and I could feel that on our first appointment, he knew what he could do ...for me and what strategies he was going to use in my case. In court, he is very confident and that made me feel at peace. He won my case and now I can say that I am a US resident; I came to this country illegally and then I was put on deportation proceedings and even after that he still won my residency. I just wanted to express my appreciation I have for him and I was very blessed to have him as my legal representation.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
