Richard William Meaglia

Richard Meaglia is a nightmare. He refused to give me direction after hiring him. Avoid this guy at all costs. He helps the other side and doesn't care at all if he leaves you broke and on the street while the criminal gets away with murder & whatever else they did. Richard will protect the other... guy over his own client. It's just "too much work" for him to defend his client. There are other choices, go with someone else. After giving NO good advise what so ever and me firing him even, he still extracted 60K from our estate. DO NOT sign HIM up, unless you want to lose and lose badly. I had to do ALL the work myself. I paid ALL the estate bills out of what should have been my money to complete school with and buy a home. Meaglia took a full 5 years before calling the estate "done". He makes more money the longer he drags out your case. This is documented by other reviewers too. He NEVER EVER would give me any advise on how to close and handle completion of the estate. He should have helped me to at least buy out our family home. But that was just "too much work" for him to set that up too. SO now I am homeless forever. In fact he would never even write any letters in response to the other attorneys demands. I still to this day have to pay estate fees after all these years out of what should have been my portion of my settlement. I now have to live in my 4Runner until it dies or I do, which ever comes 1st. I have had to live in the car even needing a hip replacement now since Mom was a hoarder and I did all the work. Meaglia refused to lift a pen to write a letter to have my Sister Laurel get what she wanted out so we could efficiently clear out the house and sell it fast and for a good price. I instead have been forced by the other attorney to store and pay for the junk. I can't even afford to pay for an apartment or go back to school. I am screwed, due to his mishandling of the estate. My Sis is well set up in a HUGE house and putting herself AND her kid through school that was clearly and in writing set aside for me. This was set aside to rehabilitate from taking time off from my great job I used to have, so I could go back into it with my full degree. Instead I have nothing and am homeless due to his handling of the case. You will one day find me at the bottom of Suicide Bridge since I can't afford to live to an old age now. My blood is on his hands. Do yourself a favor. Find anyone else.

Mr Meaglia has been my divorce lawyer for the past two years. All divorces are difficult and sad but mine has been very involved for numerous reasons. Mr Meaglia has not only been very fair but always looking to do the right thing for our family . He has always made himself available and works very... long hours to attend to all of his clients. I highly recommend his services to anyone who wants the fairest fees from a hard working dedicated man.
