About Colette K. Meyer

Perhaps more than any other legal area, estate planning involves intensely personal issues. Attorney Colette Meyer focuses on guiding you through the complicated and often emotional maze of balancing family protection, wealth preservation and cherished family values in the estate planning process. Colette designed her practice in 1998 with a dedication to providing life-long legal representation complemented by personal attention. As life's events happen or laws change, Colette will assist you in refining your goals and wishes and adjusting your estate plan as needed. Colette brings over 20 years of experience to her law practice and built her legal foundation at renowned New York-based firms. Colette was counsel in the Palm Beach office of the international firm Donovan, Leisure, Newton & Irvine. And prior, she was an attorney at the firms of Mudge, Rose, Guthrie, Alexander and Ferdon and Nixon, Hargrave, Devans & Doyle. Colette currently is a member of both the Florida State Bar and State Bar of Wisconsin. She was granted membership in the AARP Legal Services Network and has also held memberships in the Jupiter-Tequesta-Hobe Sound Association of Realtors and the National Network of Estate Planning Attorneys and The Family Wealth Planning Institute®, national organizations of attorneys who specialize in estate planning. In addition, Colette has participated in the adjunct professor program at the University of Miami-School of Law.

Ms. Meyer earned her law degree from the University of Wisconsin - Madison and, while attending law school, was employed by the Wisconsin Attorney General. Prior to law school, Colette completed a Biology degree at Carleton College in Minnesota.

Colette has a strong commitment to the community in which she lives and works and actively supports the arts in her role as past President of the Lighthouse ArtCenter in Tequesta. Colette's personal interests include downhill skiing and whitewater rafting and, through her immigrant parents, Colette has U.S. and Swiss dual citizenship which sparked her love for travel.

Hired Attorney

When my elderly father was being exploited, I interviewed many lawyers to help protect him. None were as honest, professional and ethical as Colette. Several told me I should just "give up" b/c we would lose. I'm thrilled to say that Colette's team fought for myself and my Dad and we won a difficult, contested case. I would recommend her 100%.

Hired Attorney

Do Not Hire Collette Meyer or anyone in her firm! They charge an exorbitant amount of money, false time increments, and multiple errors throughout the process.I had to fire them. So disheartening that when you’re going through a difficult time like a death in the family , to be taken advantage of like this. I do not know how she puts her head on the pillow at night. Just Horrible

Hired Attorney

Communication/status was almost non-existent/frustrating, a simple matter was allowed to languish for months w/o action, legal document was prepared with errors requiring multiple corrections, expense was much more than anticipated and some time charged was for resolving their errors (client identified and corrected). Will not use in the future or recommend their services.

These FAQs include information about a lawyer's background, but do not evaluate their knowledge of the law, past performance on individual cases, personality, or communication skills.

It is solely the responsibility of lawyers and law firms to ensure that any information they provide complies with all applicable laws and rules of professional conduct.

You should be aware that the information we rely upon may not be comprehensive, or frequently updated.

Always research the lawyer further to get a better understanding of their license credentials, disciplinary status, background, and experience.

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.

For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings™, please visit our Ratings Page on Martindale.com and our Frequently Asked Questions

Avvo Client Reviews
