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!

Mr. Meyers is a problem solver

I appreciated Mr Meyer's expertise in landlord/tenant law. And just as important I appreciated his focus on practical solutions to my landlord/tenant dispute. He knew the law, gave clear guidance on procedures, worked effectively with opposing counsel, and helped de-escalate the situation. He ask...ed what outcome I preferred and focused his advice and guidance on achieving it. I would recommend him if you're looking for a problem solver.

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.

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!!

A very good experience

Pete Meyers helped me negotiate out of a lease where the building had mold issues. Pete is efficient with his words and his efforts which saved me money. I ended up getting a better than hoped for settlement and will be moving into a healthy environment. Thanks, Pete!
