Customer Reviews for Butler, Giraudo & Meister, P.C.
-
Verified ClientHired Law firm 2025-2026I had a great experience working with my attorney. They were extremely responsive, detail-oriented, and took the time to explain every step of the process so I always felt informed. Their professionalism and thoughtful guidance made a complicated situation much easier to navigate. I would confidently recommend them to anyone looking for strong and reliable legal representation.

Verified ClientHired Law firm 2024-2025I chose this all-female family law firm as a single father, and I couldn’t have been more pleased with the outcome. From the very first consultation, I felt truly heard, respected, and very well represented— they fought tirelessly for my rights and my children’s best interests with the same passion and determination they would have shown for any single mother. Their expertise, compassion, and relentless advocacy made all the difference during one of the toughest times in my life, and I highly recommend them to any dad navigating family court.

Verified ClientHired Law firm 2020-2021I absolutely recommend Butler, Giraudo, and Meister if you want a problem-solving attorney and a compassionate, dedicated support staff (thanks for all your help Kelly!). Tami Meister represented me in a contentious divorce and child custody case that lasted over a year and a half. Attorney Meister was thoughtful, empathetic, and went above and beyond to make herself available for any questions or concerns I had. She cares for her clients and their cases but doesn’t allow emotion to negatively impact her ability to effectively advocate for them. I appreciated that she gave me realistic outcomes for each situation we found ourselves in, even if it wasn’t what I wanted to hear at the time. I know that my case had a much more favorable outcome due to my choice in attorney and because I consistently deferred to Attorney Meister’s counsel and recommendations.

Hired Law firm 2023-2024If you want an attorney that will be on your side and fight for you, do not go to this firm; Gabrielle Cunningham specifically. She advised us to take a matter to court, took $10,000 from us, then once we didn't agree with her next step that she wanted to take, she fired us as a client. Very poor representation and extremely unprofessional.
