He took care of everything for me he always had everything in order and organized and made sure I had copies of everything I never felt in the dark on what was going on in my case I was always updated and explained everything. He made it a wonderful experience in a bad situation. He is a highly recommend lawyer and I would not go to anybody else in town.
Kris Meek is an outstanding lawyer. He represented me in a child custody case. I appreciated how Kris spent time listening to my individual concerns. He was respectful and insightful to a lot of sensitive issues that I faced during my case. He was honest and straight forward with his advice and approached issues from different angles to ensure that he was doing the best thing for my family. Kris paid close attention to detail and didn't miss any steps in the long process. Kris returned phone calls and emails promptly. I highly recommend Kris because he is a person of high integrity and he works hard for his clients. Kris was also willing to work with my financial situation and offer a payment plan.

Best Attorney in the Area
Kris and team is hands down the most knowledgeable, attentive, and on task attorney you will find. I had an emergency during my custody battle and Kris dropped everything to help me get this fixed and in record time. Kris works to protect what is best for me while still treating me like a human. He responds to every question and in very reasonable time. If you want a great person and experience, reach out to Kris.

Top Notch Attorney
My family had the pleasure to have Kris help with a criminal matter. I was taken back as to how quickly his responses and arguments were. He was knowledgeable and wittingly able to recite the laws and codes in his defense arguments. He doesn’t miss a beat and definitely takes the time to do his research to better defend his clients. Highly recommended attorney!

Kris is the BEST
Kris is incredibly smart and uses law to fight cases, not opinions. My favorite thing about him is his responsiveness. He never kept me waiting and truly cared about me and my well-being. Kris never made me feel like my questions were dumb or unworthy of his time. Kris was my second attorney in my case and he got everything done that I asked promptly and honestly. Hands down best lawyer in the area, go see Kris.

A job well done.
Kristopher Meek was able to quickly understand my legal needs and effectively address them. During all of this, he remained sensitive to the overarching family and social dynamics, and provided sound counsel. He was also mindful of the financial implications, and made strong efforts to control costs while still effectively and efficiently addressing my legal needs. I recommend Kris and his team without hesitation.

Excellent Attourney
Kristopher is by far the best attourney out there! He helped me through a difficult time in a complicated custody battle.

Kris represented me in a very complex divorce case, in hindsight, there is nothing he could have done better.
He was efficient and communicated well.
He gave me great advise about what to do (and not to do) through the process. At times I was upset and I'm sure difficult to work with, but he remained calm and professional, and helped me stay logical and reasonable.
When presented with falsified information we were not expecting in trial, he impressed me by quickly and thoroughly presenting previously filed information that exposed the false testimony.
He contracted the right professionals to help with our business valuation.
I was impressed with how organized and complete the information he prepared and presented was.
In court, he was not only a great speaker, but had exhibits to back up everything we presented. He thinks quickly, is very intelligent and articulate, and seemed to have good rapport with the judges and other legal professionals.
His billing statements were complete and detailed, and was willing to work with me to pay his bill late in the process as the judge ordered that my ex and I could not spend money beyond living necessities through the process.
He is part of a great firm and great team, and came highly recommended. Thanks again Kris!

There is no thank you big enough for what you have done for me and my daughter. This whole experience has been stress free for me ( Im sure that hasn't been your situation) but it let me focus on my family which was important to me. You listened to everything I had to say and what my daughter had to say. Thank you for being honest and having ethical standards. I wish I could hug everyone in your office that worked so hard on this. Definitely my attorney for life.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDABLE!!
I have been so grateful to have Kris Meek represent me for the past three and a half years. Kris is assertive, efficient, proficient, and diligent in every aspect of his work. His knowledge of the legal system and logistics is beyond amazing. He listens to concern and is very forthcoming with information he provides, straight forward with the best of intentions. He is incredibly prepared and professional in and out of The Court of Law. I undoubtedly trust him with his honorable insight and decisions. Kris Meek and his paralegal, Barb, have been absolutely wonderful; A force to be reckoned with! Highly Recommendable!

Phenomenal Attorney!
The legal support and counsel I received from Kristopher Meek was phenomenal in regards to securing child support from my ex-partner that met Idaho guidelines, providing legal arguments, and providing defense from nefarious claims by my ex-partner. Mr. Meek has in-depth knowledge of Idaho law; he successfully challenged claims made by the defense; and was very adept at demonstrating untruthfulness and outright lies by my ex- partner and his witnesses. In summary, Mr. Meek presented a very compelling argument concerning my custody rights and child support that was due to me under Idaho Law. His capabilities were clearly demonstrated by the Court decision in my favor. I highly recommend Kris and would not trust anyone else to do the job!

Divorce and Custody
I had interviewed a couple of attorney's by the time I met with Kris. He was not distant or disregarding as if he sees cases like mine all the time. He was detail oriented, compassionate, and didn't sugar coat things for me just to make me feel better. He was honest and direct while still being compassionate and respectful.
He handled my case efficiently, effectively, and honestly, which is extremely important to me. Also, all the while always allowing me to speak openly of my opinion on items and he was not difficult to get a hold of when I needed him. His team was also easy to get along with and understanding even though I know they've seen cases like mine 100 times, they never made me feel that way.
I would highly recommend Kristopher Meek for a Divorce and Child Custody attorney.

You can't go wrong with Kris Meek
I was very impressed with the way Kris handled my custody case. I spent hours and hours of my personal time preparing notes before our court date but when I met with Kris before the trial I was amazed. He had prepared more detailed notes than I had and even found important facts I had overlooked. He is skilled at finding the information that matters while making the process as smooth as possible. There is no better attorney in Idaho Falls, he will impress you.

It is my honor to recommend Kristopher D. Meek after years of dealing with lawyers and legal battles it was refreshing to meet a lawyer with high moral and professional standards. At all times Mr. Meek treated me with respect and as a person not just a number. He is very professional but at the same time compassionate. He is very skilled in the courtroom and at all times kept me up to date on my case. In the end he successfully won my case with honor and integrity intact. In my humble opinion he is way above average in his field!

Incompetent
His office is totally incompetent, upon receiving my Will to amend I immediately called to pay my bill and ask if I would be billed for taking my time returning the document, they said no. The first bill for an incomplete job I laughed at then they added late fees. Kris also dropped the ball with my daughter re: her divorce.
Response from Kristopher MeekApril 21, 2021
I am not pleased that you did not have an excellent experience! I know we spoke on the phone and discussed options for my office staff and myself to correct any issues you raised. I wish that we could have proposed an option acceptable to you. We often send out billings for completed estate planning work to motivate clients to come in or talk to us so we can schedule a time to finish their plans. I may have to revisit that policy based on your interaction with us.
As to your daughter, I did not represent her in her divorce. I would do anything within my power to assist, but I don't have any perspective on that particular issue as I was not involved in her case. I also will not discuss any particulars as that information is attorney-client privileged.
As with all clients, I hope that we can do all we can to make your experience excellent. I hope to continue to do so in the future, if you choose to reconsider using our services.
Best,
Kris
