Posted by Mark Y. | February 18, 2018 | Hired Attorney | Criminal Defense

Immediate help when needed, AAA+++

Meredith is the Best for Criminal needs I had. She was fast and has excellent communication. She literally took my case on few days notice and resolved it to my full satisfaction. if there is anyone who needs a criminal lawyer who will get the job done, I highly recommend this law firm and Meredith. ... Every time I had a question which is related legally, I can just call or email her and get a response same day and clear response. She has helped me soo much, I just had to share because she truly is the best, and she really does take care of her clients and goes beyond the regular standards of getting her clients like me the Best Option (outcome) in my case. This is my 2nd case she is been working for me, and she is doing an excellent job and all looks well, once again I highly recommend them.

Amazing, has a great heart

Ms. Meredith Virant represented me on two of my cases. She was amazing, she has a very good heart and really puts a lot of effort for her clients. She goes above and beyond and knows her "stuff". I would hire her again ten times over and recommend her to anyone. I have hired several lawyers for a few... different cases, and she was the best I have ever encountered. Thank you for basically saving my life!! Kudos to you!

Attorney Meredith Virant

Meredith is, by far, an excellent attorney. She was extremely thorough, knowledgeable and also very caring. I highly recommend her as she raises the "bar" and restores faith in her profession while others continue to perpetuate the negative stigma. Mary Lou Soleim

Relationship: Co-worker

"I first met Meredith while working as an associate at the same criminal defense firm. She expertly managed hundreds of cases advocating for each of her clients until she achieved the optimal outcome. Whether she negotiated an excellent resolution prior to trial or took her case to the jury, Meredith did not stop until her client received the justice he or she deserved. It is a privilege to work with her representing our own clients. She is intelligent, gracious, respectful and above all, thoroughly dedicated to achieving outstanding results. If I had a family or friend in need of an attorney, I would not hesitate to recommend Meredith."

"I had the privilege of working with Ms. Virant for a few years. In that time, she was always willing to help me with any cases, and I can say that she brought experience, legal knowledge, and creative problem solving skills to every case. If I had a friend or family member who was facing a criminal charge, I would feel much better about their chances for a fair and just outcome if they were represented by Ms. Virant."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
