If you need a lawyer to go to battle for you, Mick Meyer is the BEST! He won my ALR and got my DWI 3 felony down to a DWI 2 misdemeanor. He is very knowledgeable about the law and has an excellent reputation within the industry. I would recommend him to anyone in a similar situation because he really takes a personal interest in his clients and gets them the best results. I feel blessed to have found a lawyer that wouldn’t give up on me and worked hard for this outcome!
Mick Meyer has represented me on four felony charges, leading to dismissals and favorable outcomes. If I had been found guilty of the charges, I would have likely spent the rest of my natural life in prison. But I never spent one day behind bars. I initially retained Mick because of his reputation, vast experience and education in criminal law. He is a former felony chief and assistant district attorney and is now a highly respected defense attorney. Don't gamble with your life and future. If you are facing criminal charges, Mick will not hesitate to jump into the trenches to fight for you.
Mick Meyer is the best! He Won my ALR case, and then 6 months later the district attorney declined to even file any charges in my case. Mick never promised any false hopes, he only delivered successful results! Both Mick and his office staff were always quick to respond to any questions that I had. Their communication was outstanding. I highly recommend Mick!!! -Appreciative Denton County resident 11/2023
I have nothing but good things to say about Bryan and Debbie Buchanan. Not only did Bryan fight hard for me in my divorce and child custody, but he and Debbie are so empathetic, caring and kind. I was so lucky to have found him after firing my first attorney that was more concerned in billing me for every phone call or email instead of my case. If you want someone who will fight for you in every aspect of your divorce, Bryan Buchanan is the one.
Bryan and his wife Debbie where EVERYTHING I could have asked for and more during our cps case. He got us everything I wanted and QUICKLY. He's rough, loud, straight to the point, and WISE. He may have hurt my sensitive feelings a time or 2 but he knows what he is doing. He is there for YOU! Will be using him for my divorce.
Never thought I had a chance and I Prepared for the worst … Mick won my DWI case 3rd or more and possession charge and got both felonies thrown out .. first time ever not being charged with a crime arrested for. He’s the only one I’d want on my team~ Heather
Best choice I’ve ever made in life was to hire Mr Mick Meyer as my defense attorney. I was facing 18 years in state prison for a felony 3rd DWI or more and after a couple months in court he was able to get my case dismissed. Would definitely recommend to anyone fighting a felony charge.
Mr. Buchanan was wonderful with our multiple cases involving my childs custody, and my wifes childrens custody (blended family). He was firm, fair, consistent, and most of all, he was genuine. He was able to see a bigger part of the big picture I couldn't see, and my family is forever grateful to him and his lovely paralegal. He helped us grow so much during our many years with him representing us. He is the only one I trust, knowing he has my families best interests at heart.
I've hired Mr. Buchanan twice now for my legal needs. He's very stern, straight to the point but will work very hard to get the job done. Can be very intimidating at times but he knows what to do and what is best for you! would highly hire in again in the future and will recommend him to all friends and family. His staff is very courteous, loving, and supportive!
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.
