Hired Attorney

John Meadows is not only an excellent attorney, but he is also a good man. I hired John to represent me in my daughter's custody battle. Throughout the case, John always answered my questions, and it seemed like he took time to talk to me when he may not have had it to give. I am a registered nurse with approximately 25 years of experience, and I feel I can gauge personalities and human character in general. One thing that impressed me about John is that, in addition to his showing an extreme interest in winning the case, he also expressed regard for our well-being. I always felt like his intentions were to enable me to have more time with my daughter, and our father-daughter relationship was especially important to him. In the end, I got more time with my daughter, and my child support was reduced. I attribute this success to John's advice, and work on my case. I would highly recommend him as an attorney and would hire him again. Thanks, John!

Have you ever wondered why they call attorneys “solicitors?” It is because skilled attorneys like John Meadows, ESQ defend and promote your position. They “sell” your position or point of view & cross examine witnesses with questions. All in the process of uncovering the truth presented to a judge or jury. Anyway I am so glad my brother who is also an attorney researched and recommended attorney John Meadows to me!!!! He won my case!!!!

John Meadows is the real deal. He took the time to understand my situation and gave it to me straight, no fluff. What I really appreciated was how he laid out everything clearly so I could make the best call. He’s got the experience to handle tough situations, and he’s not afraid to tackle them head-on. You always know what to expect and that he’s got your back, working hard to get the right result. It’s rare to find someone who combines solid expertise with honest, down-to-earth advice.

John turned my life around. Through two contracts, both incredibly complicated, he took what I thought was unsalvageable, and turned it into something that I can use to propel myself forward. He made some serious criminal charges seem like nothing more than a speed bump with his knowledge of the criminal system and purpose driven attitude in the court room-for which I will always be grateful and am truly underselling on how terrible things could have gone. Shortly after he tackled my divorce head on without any hesitation, and persisted for TWO YEARS, to the point that my ex-wife wanted nothing more than to settle and never see him again, and while I may be paraphrasing, she really did say that. She may feel that way, but I consider this man family. The dust is still settling, and I have my kids far more often than I would have ever thought possible. I can never thank him enough, and will always, HIGHLY recommend him.
