thorough, professional, careing, and loyal

I am a former client of Pete Meyers, He helped me with a situation involving a former landlord that was harassing me for guest visitation, and later a personal injury I received while living at my former residence. When I contacted Pete Meyers I was extremely distraught, I was very intimidated, and ...I felt very alone. The actions of my former landlord and their attorneys made me feel like I was taking on the legions of Rome by my self. I thought I was going to be kicked out of my residence and left homeless if i tried to fight. Everything felt completely hopeless. But then I contacted Pete Meyers, assured me that everything was going to be okay. He gave me a sense of calm. But more importantly he gave me a sense of protection. I no longer felt as if it was me Vs the world. I consider myself a excellent judge of character, and I knew, (almost instantly) that I had a loyal, well educated, professional attorney backing me up. I could tell, after I explained my situation that Pete had my best interest in mind. (I know that lawyers are good at making people feel good/protected, but I genuinly felt that he cared for me and my family and wanted to help in every way possible) Before I contacted Pete Meyers I was receiving a large number of threatening and intimidating letters from my landlord, and the insurance company. The day I spoke with Pete, that all stopped. All the letters, and phone calls were now directed to him. A HUGE weight was lifted off of my shoulders. I cannot express the feeling you get when you are being starred down by a bully and you are all alone. Knees shaking, sweat beading off your brow. But then.... a complete stranger stands up for you, it fills your heart with warmth, to know that someone is willing to help a person in need. Thats the experience I had with Pete Meyers. Loyal, knowledgeable, pragmatic, and dynamic, Pete Meyers is all of those things and more. I could list all of the traits that Pete has, but I wont. Simple put, If you want an attorney that will help you in every way possible, and lay out a planned path to success, Pete Meyers is the obvious choice. Hands down, he will worker harder for you than anyone else. Thank you Pete Meyers. You are the best!!

Hidden gem of a resource here in PDX

Mr. Meyers represented us as tenants regarding an issue on lease break in a complex situation. 1. He was able to drill it down to the basics and make it easy to understand 2. He presented a range of options to us depending on the type of stance we wanted so we felt like we were in control 3. He ...was honest about likely outcome and forthcoming with recommendations when we sought them or when he saw a need 4. He was never disrespectful when dealing with the "other side." 5. He responded very quickly and was upfront about costs and his rates were very reasonable. 6. His office staff were friendly and helpful

Outstanding representation

I'm so pleased with Pete's work on my case, I will simply copy a thank you letter I sent to him: Hi Pete, Just wanted to send a letter thanking you for the great work you did on my case. When I first spoke with you and we discussed settlement terms with my property management company, I was ver...y concerned about the amount of time I would have to move out and find a new place to live. We discussed that 30 days would likely be the longest period my property management company would accept, so I was preparing for something possibly even shorter. I can't tell you how thrilled I was when you got back to me the next day, saying you were able to get me 60 days to move. It was far more than expected and I won't hesitate to recommend you to anyone needing an attorney in the areas of law you practice. Thank you again for your great work, professionalism, quick responses to my questions and kind manner. Your help made a difficult experience in my life much easier to manage. Best regards, KJ

Mobile Home Park Resolution

I had a particularly complex situation in the mobile home park where I owned a manufactured home. Within just a day or two after meeting with him, Pete sent a demand letter to the landlord. I think it was his detailed knowledge of the law and his quick absorption of my complicated rental agreement an...d park rules that made the landlord back down--she wasn't aware of the "alternative dispute resolution" provision she had drafted into her own rental agreement! Pete took advantage of that to our advantage and I was delighted when the landlord withdrew her 30-day for-cause termination notice. It was a pleasure working with him.

Great landlord/tenant expertise, awesome listening skills!

Pete was super helpful - he had me in for a consultation within 12 hours of calling. He listened to my story, even if it was long and rambling, and made me feel like I had an ally if I needed it. The consultation was enough for us to determine that we didn't need to keep working together, but his adv...ice during the consult proved invaluable and I was able to secure my entire settlement amount. I like that he equipped me with confidence to take action on my own - now that's a good lawyer!
