The Best

Pete is our go-to lawyer for anything involving evictions of tenants. He not only provides our property management firm with education, but is always there for us when we need him. He has successfully resolved several cases for us and has provided the utmost care and diligence with each one. The tena...nts in question are never happy, but I can tell you our firm and owners are ecstatic with the results. He takes the time to help us understand best practices as well. This has enabled our firm to 'see the writing on the wall' and implement the best standards to counter tricky tenancies that may be harming the home or non-complying with lease terms. This has leveled up our service to our owners which is paramount for a successful property management company. Thanks for all of your hard work Pete!

Highly recommended

Mr. Meyers has helped me with several separate issues over the last year. He came highly recommended by other attorneys and did not disappoint! I specifically sought an attorney who was familiar with both sides of landlord/tenant law so that I could approach my cases with a better understanding of m...y own responsibilities when trying to resolve disputes with my tenants. Pete is very knowledgeable and current on the laws and precedents. He is prompt in his responses and very clear and direct in his instructions which saves valuable time. He was able to help me resolve three very different and complex cases as quickly and painlessly as possible. I have already referred several others to him and will definitely continue to do so.

Great experience. Thank you!

Pete helped me to address a conflict with a tenant who was violating several terms of her lease. The situation was further complicated due to the pandemic and the additional legal protections the tenant was privy to around this time. During our consultation Pete honed quickly into the situation with ...asking all the right questions. He explained clearly and concisely what my rights were and what I had to do to remedy the situation. He was selective in advising which violations I might have a case against and which ones I might have trouble contesting based on Oregon law and legal precedent. His instructions to me were very clear and working with him clarified a muddy situation for me and gave me the confidence to deal with a truculent tenant. Pete knows landlord-tenant law very well and gives sound legal advice based on the letter of the law. During the time I worked with him he answered voicemails and emails promptly. I didn't have to wait long to get a clarification on any questions I had. The matter came to a successful conclusion and working with Pete has been a pleasure and money well spent.

Most effective & efficient Lawyer ever!

Pete Meyers saved me from a complicated Tennant Situation. He was so quick to respond and he helped guide me through the process so that it did not blow up. I so appreciate everything he did to help, he was so patient with me and helped me keep my cool. It all worked out well and I am forever g...rateful. Thanks, Pete

5 stars isn't enough. If i could give a 10 I would.

To give a little background, this was a landlord tenant eviction process I (the landlord) was pursuing and dealing with a very difficult tenant. I did not by any means give him an easy task. When handling my eviction process he was extremely understanding, thorough, detailed and very nerve calming.... He effortlessly handled my case with ease and turned a very difficult and stressful scenario into a defused, resolved court order from a judge. He communicated every step of the process and answered all of my questions quickly. He is a Veteran just as I am, and even on Veterans Day he still responded to my much needed questions. If i ever need any legal assistance in the future and dealing with a difficult tenant I will be without a doubt come to Pete. Again Pete, I can't thank you enough for everything you have done. I hope and pray you have a continued successful rest of your year, and beyond. Best of luck to you and stay safe.
