Clear, concise advice/guidance.....

Pete helped me through a landlord/tenant issue, providing very practical advice and good legal guidance. He was responsive, turning around documents and returning phone calls quickly. He has kept me informed of upcoming legislation that impacts me. He has drafted Lease Agreements that were more pr...otective and appropriate to my situation than the boilerplate agreements you can buy online. In addition, he was a pleasure to talk with....with good humor and a no-nonsense style.

Professional, Strategic and Committed to his Clients

Pete Meyers quickly and diligently got up to speed on our situation when time was of the essence. He did an excellent job explaining options, informing of risks/rewards, presenting legal strategies AND negotiated in our best interest. Pete is also personable and kept it real when we were pretty stre...ssed with a straightforward, honest and down to earth approach. There were no surprises with Pete! I will use Pete again when I need an attorney and highly recommend Pete Meyers to anyone seeking a great lawyer.

Pete helped me with a murky statement of accounting and tenant demands I needed advice on

I like Pete Meyers. Pete was a real sigh of relief with his quick follow up--as landlord matters usually are (or at least feel) urgent--and the previous attorneys I've used have taken longer to get back to me; not to mention sometimes weeks to book an appointment. Pete got me in quickly. I found hi...m friendly, knowledgeable and an efficient communicator and I already like his focused approach and attention to details better than the previous two landlord rep attorneys I've used over the past 12 years. I'll be back next time I have a rental issue!

Excellent Landlord/Tenant Atty in Portland

I got to Pete Meyers because the first landlord/tenant attorney I hired charged an arm and a leg and gave me the *wrong* legal advice. Our group has several multi-family properties and lo and behold we inherited a few drug addicts when we assumed managing the building. Meyers didn't require a $750.00... automatic retainer before he'd even talk to me, like the other landlord attorney did. He just explained the law, explained the choices, and answered questions, billed me. When it comes to this stuff–landlord tenant–the simpler the better. Meyers was simple, fair, and honest. I would recommend him to anyone seeking a landlord attorney. Such a relief.

A smart and honest lawyer looks after his clients

We are landlords, we have tried a few other lawyers in the Portland area, but none of the others had the key characteristics of intelligence and blunt honesty that makes Peter such a useful lawyer Peter Meyers is not your average lawyer. He's smart enough to not pretend that his clients are always r...ight. He looks after his clients best interest even if it means not taking an opportunity to increase his own billing. Also, he is not afraid to look things up in front of you, to go through the ORS to make sure that what he is telling you is the correct answer. We've dealt with other lawyers who gave us glib, off the cuff responses which ended up costing us about 2k.
