Insurance 10%

Sometimes insurance companies wrongfully deny claims or unfairly value claims, acting in what is legally called “bad faith.” Insurance lawyers can determine if your insurer is treating you fairly and sue for you if the company is acting in bad faith.

Property line dispute

I was impressed with Mr Meyler at our initial interaction. We had brief but thorough conversation about my case and he was clear about how he could provide assistance. He offered to meet in person but was also amenable to doing much of our work virtually. This was helpful in my day to day life. What ...I admired most about him was he reasoned and realistic approach to my case. He was always professional and respectful with me and the opposing attorney while being assertive. In our discussions he always answered all my questions and outlined options for proceeding in my case. He was prudent with his time and expenses. I think he made excellent legal decisions to move my case forward in a timely manner.....and last but not least we won!

Responsive, ethical and effective representation

Sam is currently representing me in a complex neighbor harassment and adverse possession scenario and was a referral from a close friend. My neighbor fraudulently tried to claim he owned a piece of my land parcel after 6 months of ongoing harassment despite a no contact order. He attempted to buil...d a fence through the middle of my property and planned on building a structure that connected to my garage citing a historical side yard easement agreement with the previous owner. Sam was extremely responsive on a weekend no less, to stop the neighbor trespassing on my property, blocked him legally from adverse possession and was extremely patient in explaining the legal process. He's been extremely patient in translating the legal jargon and outlining my legal options, as well as bringing in specialized counsel in fighting this multi-year case. He's personable, ethical and overall a wonderful person and representation for your legal needs. He would carefully explain my legal options, costs associated, recommended ways to minimize costs throughout the process and ultimately took my direction in all matters. I can't recommend a better attorney based on my experience and overall satisfaction, Sam is a true gem!

I had such a great experience with Sam in dealing with two separate legal issues. He is not only knowledgeable, professional and extremely detail oriented - which truly matters in legal matters, but was super responsive and quick to act whenever I needed him. He kept me informed throughout the proc...ess, and gave solid, honest and concise advise. If you're ever seeking legal counsel, I highly recommend his services. Sam is a highly competent attorney and will take great care of you.

First time homeowner - Incredibly thankful to have found Sam

I am a first time homeowner that was surprised with easement paperwork on my move-in day. My realtor immediately recommended Sam and I've had peace of mind ever since. The easement situation was far from simple (required witnesses, threats of litigation, ownership ambiguity) and Sam did not miss a be...at. As an insanely busy Amazon employee I appreciated his attention to detail, consistent communication, and professionalism with the opposite side when I was feeling anything but professional. He also helped me weigh my options as I faced multiple important decisions, always approaching the issues in a way that was calculated, considerate and well thought through. I am so glad to have Sam as a resource if I ever face another legal circumstance related to my current or future properties & could not recommend him more highly.

Upstanding guy

In my initial phone call, Sam gave me the exact wording of how to reply to a plaintiff and possibly get my entire case closed without need for Sam's involvement at all. Upstanding guy. If this doesn't work, I will definitely be using Sam's services.
