I had used Meredith before. Felt that she was trustworthy. Clearly she's not. Referred my husband. To reopen his divorce case. Explained everything that was going on to her in great detail. Where she assured us that we we was in the right . The day of court I expressed my concerns . The judges personal Bailiff. came from talking to the judge. Straight to the ex. Thay are Best friends. Which I told Meredith.and told her I did not want to continue .with this because it was a conflict of interest. Her exact words was oh it's going to be all right we got this. Clearly we did not. The ex had no lawyer represented herself . I would never recommend her again to anyone. nor use her. I would highly recommend if you need a lawyer to look else. She will take your money. And sell you down the river with a smile on her face. And tell you hindsides 20/20. I feel she should refund us are money considering she took a dive for the other side. I feel wholeheartedly we were poorly represented t

Meredith Wineland was totally unresponsive to me after she received my fee. During the eight week period after I requested that she file for divorce , she did not initiate communication with me in any fashion at any time. During this same period, I reached out to her on ten (10) different occasions via email to request guidance, answers to specific questions, and/or appointments but she was unresponsive to me. She never answered a single question or provided any guidance to me.

Some people do not want the truth to be told to them. It is unfortunate when the case does not turn out well due to actions beyond my controll.

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale Peer Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.
