The lawyer WE hired to handle our home purchase tore up the purchase contract in front of us, instead of simply answering our questions about it. Tore it up..the lawyer WE hired. Called us back to sign it, and would only send an admin out. What was supposed to be a joyous first time home buying experience, was made to feel horrible. Aside from the rudeness, there seemed to be a lot of miscommunication between the lawyers and the staff; requests for changes went unanswered until after deadlines, and I constantly had to provide the same information again and again. Im sure some people have

Just came back from my visit with Meadowridge Law. I was skeptical at first because I spent so much money on my previous lawyer to get my separation agreement going. But, because I didn't see much progress after a year long battle, I took the leap of faith in seeing Meadowridge Law after reading their reviews on Google. Boy was I was satisfied with Nora Radac. She was compassionate, smart, assertive, fair and objective. She laid out what I will be expecting and she helped me get a deal done in no time. I was very happy with the professionalism and services provided by Ms. Radac. I don't write reviews

My experience with the Meadowridge Law group has been excellent. I consulted Rhonda Murray regarding some estate, power of attorney and probate issues. Rhonda was very efficient, professional and helpful. One of my issues needed to be dealt with in a timely fashion and Rhonda came in on a Saturday to help me out. I would highly recommnend Rhonda and her team.

I consulted Rhonda Murray about my will and wanted it done before I travelled in Europe. Unfortunately, the instructions were not received and when I checked, my deadline was fast approaching. I checked with the office and we started anew. To make things right for me, Rhonda completed the will at end of the same day, gave me overnight to check the rather complicated details, made adjustments the next day and came to the house to ensure I had the will signed and completed on time and on budget. I've also had Ms Murray deal with an executor issue of property transfer; a matter of creating legal
