I would like to highly recommend John Meadows for your custody battle. I am a father of two, and I was just awarded full custody of my 2 children. I could not have done this without the representation of John Meadows. He is a seasoned pro in the courtroom, knows the law inside and out, and is a bulldog when necessary. I couldn’t be happier with the results of my case. If you are a parent pursuing custody of your children, John Meadows will fight hard for you. Contact him today!!!!!!!!!
Our family has used John for many years and has had nothing but great results. There’s not enough good things to say about him and his practice. He is the best!
John is such a hard working aggressive lawyer and he is always available unlike many lawyers of his caliber who always seem impossible to get in touch with! Thanks again John for your guidance and expertise!!!
I enlisted the services of John Meadows in a very difficult and lengthy, child custody case. This was a case that required great attention to detail to get past the he said/she said, and the need to dig very deep to illustrate the true facts. John Meadows is an excellent attorney who has the perfect balance of aggressiveness, strategy, determination, and respect of the legal community. The outcome of my case far exceeded my expectations all thanks to him!!
John is an amazing appellate attorney! As an attorney myself, I hired him for my case and he did an amazing job! He is tenacious and thorough and his research is impeccable. I would definitely hire him again.
Mr. John Meadows (& Mrs. Stacey) are great to work with! John did an excellent job at communicating with the other parties attorney and we didn't have to go through the long court process! They are amazing to have on your side! I high recommend him!
Thanks for everything!
I couldn’t be happier with the process and results that John provided. When multiple other lawyers told me going for primary custody wasn’t a viable option, John took the time to give my case a thorough look and recommended that I go for primary custodian. His diligence paid dividends in the end result! I was awarded primary custodian! John is a great lawyer with a fantastic work ethic, quick on his feet and his recall is one of the most impressive god given talents I’ve ever seen.
Mr. John Meadows and his staff are consummate professionals. His preparation and trial strategy are first-class. He guided us through a very tough case and provided solid advice every step of the way. Don't expect a "fly by the seat of your pants" operation, he is focused and plays to win. Without any hesitation, I whole-heartedly recommend John Meadows.
Finding an attorney with the education and experience of John Meadows is hard, even in a larger city. Having access to an attorney of John's intellectual and educational stature in Lebanon is a blessing. He cares about his clients and works with unstoppable determination to serve their interests. He thinks of the things other attorneys miss and is truly client focused.
Cannot say enough good things about John. He has all the things you want in a lawyer – someone who is compassionate, sincere, well organized, thorough, determined, and a fighter. Blown away by the results of his work. What strikes me the most about John is he truly cares about his clients and loves fighting for them. He is well organized and spends a lot of time analyzing the situation and comes up with a plan and executes that plan flawlessly. Has great attention to detail and an excellent memo
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.
Ratings and reviews are feedback from people who have either consulted an attorney about an issue (but may not have hired the attorney) or people who hired an attorney as a current or former client and provided their feedback to our sister site, Avvo.com.
