Satisfied Client

I have worked with David on both complex business and personal matters for several years. I have been completely satisfied by his services in every matter - which is remarkable since many of my needs are outside of his primary focus. He is remarkably thorough and prudent and brings a very intelle...ctual yet common-sense approach to his practice. My continued reliance on David is the best evidence of my recommendation.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Attorney David W. Meyer is an extremely knowledgeable professional in the area of HOAs. While my significant other and I were dealing with a matter regarding our local HOA, David offered us a certain background and know-how that helped us as we were working to put our HOA in its rightful place. David works both representing HOAs and defending against them, which only adds to his reputation as fair, effective, and broad-minded in dealing with these kinds of matters."

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.

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.
