Absolutely excellent in every way

My experience with Meridian Law, specifically Mr. Rob Martin, was absolutely excellent from start to finish. He is a superb professional and person, and his vast expertise can only be matched by his prompt service and deep compassion for his clients. I came to Rob and his firm after one of the worst ...experiences of my life that found me in a very dire situation, to no fault of my own, and he and his colleague stopped everything to help me effectively and quickly find recourse and relief. On top of that, they gave me a tremendous value to their service since I was in a tough financial position because of the situation. I am eternally grateful to them both, and I would recommend them FIRST to any loved one. Do yourself a favor and go to Meridian Law.

Satisfied a court judgement!

I found Rob through the Tennessee bar as I am in England and was clueless! Rob was our saviour, we won judgement and spent 8 years trying to collect, in less than 2 yrs Rob did what we thought was an impossible task, the judgement was finally satisfied! Rob was easy to talk to, down to earth and made... you feel like you were his only client (even though I must have driven him to distraction) We would not hesitate to recommend Rob to anyone needing legal representation.

Excellent service

Robert was invaluable in helping me navigate a stressful time. He helped me understand the situation legally, laid out my options, and advocated for me enthusiastically. Can't recommend him highly enough.

Rob is a friendly lawyer that gets the job done and at a fair price

I came to Robert to do the safety waiver for my Virtual Reality Arcade. Modern day VR arcades are a very new thing so I knew that it would be tricky to create a waiver that would include all the potential risks involved with one, but he pulled it off and did so in less time than originally planned fo...r.

Non-Solicitation Agreement Review

Rob was very thorough in the review of my NSA. He made me aware of some issues with that contract and explained everything to me in simple, and easy to understand terms (unlike my agreement). Will definitely use Rob again in the future.

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.
