I retained NiCale for a bankruptcy and things went well until I checked my credit report as she recommends I noticed my vehicle was included in the filing which was a mistake. I reviewed my forms to verify, although I distinctly remembered discussed keeping my ONLY vehicle. I was hoping to use my good payment history with the car to rebuild my credit because I have 3 years left to pay! I contacted NiCale's office about this immediately and was told my lender didn't provide a necessary form and it could be corrected for an attorney fee AND additional filing fee. I was puzzled because it wasn't my mistake, and the attorney's JOB for which she was already paid to be sure things were correct the first time. I contacted my lender and spoke to their attorney and I can keep my vehicle but it's not going to be reflected on my credit report as anything positive. I would not recommend NiCale to anyone as she has refused to accept accountability for the mistake and I feel like she's trying to swindle more money out of me to fix the problem. This problem still isn't fixed and I'm not getting credit for continuing payment on my car.

BEWARE!! NiCale Rector has no business being a Guardian Ad Litem! I cannot say enough bad things…read moreabout her and the way she does her job. At our 1st meeting she argued that we were 20 minutes late for our appointment (we were 10 minutes early). She put in her report that she smelled cigarette smoke on my husband & I. Does that make us bad Grandparents? She also said she felt I was being "less than truthful" with her - how did she get that in one 20 minute meeting? Anyone who knows me will tell you that I am very truthful and can't stand Liars, cheats or Thieves! She didn't reveal or disqualify herself even though my ex son-in-law was giving her nephews baseball hitting & pitching lessons. She used her family members (a former classmate of my daughter) Facebook page to stalk my daughters PRIVATE Facebook page. Claiming my daughter hated her ex. Really? It's a divorce/custody case, imagine that! She wrote in her Guardian Ad Litem report that during her visit to my daughters house that she noted magazines on the bottom shelf of the aquarium stand. Magazines?! That there were cracker crumbs on the carpet where my then 3 yr old grandson had just been snacking (she saw him) & watching cartoons. She claimed my daughter was difficult to schedule an appointment with. But nothing about it being due to my daughter working for a hospital in Muncie and no available PTO hours due to court issues. How willing my ex son-in-law was to schedule (he was unemployed). Those are the only things she wrote in her report about my daughter & our family. However, her opinion of my daughters ex was glowing! No mention of his lengthy unemployment, living in a high-end rental in Fishers with his then girlfriend that neither had the income to support & were evicted 4 months later owing $28k in unpaid rent. Nor did she mention their 3 other evictions and/or bankruptcies. No vehicles/insurance in their names, multiple judgements all public info that she DID NOT research or did not feel the need to include in her report - I guess that info wasn't as important as magazines on the bottom of an aquarium. Finally, when questioned on the witness stand she admitted that she HAD NOT done her job as a Guardian Ad Litem due to taking care of a ill family member and farm. Funny, she still billed my daughter $700. This is all public info and can be proven through court transcripts.

Anyone looking for a great family law attorney needs to check out Nathan Hacker. This guy by far is…read morethe best. He is very detailed oriented, knows his stuff frontwards and backwards, and if you are anything like me and find yourself in this extremely difficult situation of fighting to remain an active father in your child's life you want someone who will give you a game plan. As long as you follow your attorney's advice and are honest with everything (even if you were wrong about something) he can formulate a game plan and be prepared for anything the opposing counsel will throw your way. Even when I was super nervous going into court and worried about certain things that would come up, including lies my ex was stating he assured me we had this under control. I've read some reviews about people complaining about the $100 consultation fee. Believe me, that is going to be the best $100 you ever spend. As knowledgeable as Nate and his team are, trust me, you are in excellent hands. You won't be leaving a ton of messages trying to get ahold of Nate or Sarah (his paralegal) either. I know people dread spending money when it comes to these things, but if you are going to spend it I cannot stress enough that this is where you need to go. I'm a dad who is very involved in his little girls life and when it came time to put some money on the books I never dreaded it because I knew they were working hard and not just creating things to bill you for. These guys are honest and will definitely fight for you. I think we all know how the system tends to favor the mothers, I don't think I would have gotten a better outcome with any other attorney out there. I was satisfied with how my 2 year battle ended and I think it was fair on both sides. Remember going into this, there will be times where you have to give and take with your ex, please just always keep your child's interest at the forefront of your dealings with them. Nate and his team will guide you and will definitely let you know to knock certain things off if you're in the wrong and trust me, that is EXACTLY what you want. If for any other reason I need an attorney for family law or anything else, based off of my experience I will certainly be calling them, and will refer anyone who needs the help to go to this firm.

After meeting with Jeff I felt confident about my case. After a month the OVI charge was dropped and i was willing to accept a wreckless operation charge. Very pleased with the professionalism of Jeff I never thought I would see him again. In 2016, after three drinks I was pulled over and in the same situation. Feeling embarrassed and scared, Mr. Meadows reassured me that I wasn't hopeless. He gathered details to my case and wasn't willing to take any plea deal like most other attorneys would. Jeff asked me what I wanted out of my case and his defense. He certainly came through. He picked apart the prosecutions evidence and arguements. Once I heard,"not guilty" I couldn't believe it. All charges dropped. This man saved me money on my insurance, and saved me from the embarrassment of having to put down that I have been convicted of a misdemeanor when applying for jobs. I owe him a big thank you! Don't think twice about Jeff Meadows defense.. he is the best.

Jeff's experience, compassion and confidence were evident from day one. Ironically, it wasn't until a previous attorney withdrew from my case that I was able to meet with Jeff. He believed in me, my fight and had the tenacity to help expose corruptness and failures directly related to my case. Jeff's staff was an extension of his work, ethics and leadership. I can't thank Jeff enough for his support, professionalism and keeping me informed every step of the way. I would encourage anyone reviewing this to consider Meadows Law Firm for representation. I have met a new friend in Jeff and consider his work/representation as second to none. Thank you Jeff!

Our first impression was great, Gerald seemed like a go-getter and someone fit to take our case…read more Sadly, after my husband paid the retainer, the communication slowed. Leading up to our trial for a custody/parental alienation case it seemed we were dealing with someone who was very busy as we received little communication. I get that's typical in the legal profession, we assumed he had a busy work load. However, we were also paying clients and did not feel that he fully grasped our situation. We reached out occasionally and sometimes get a response days later (if any). I will mention that we requested a call to discuss things around our trial date to ensure we were on the same page. He did make time for us the day before our court date. While we appreciated the contact, it was too late to add any evidence or possibly make changes to help our cause. Upon arriving the day of court, we heard him mention to us that some of the exhibits were turned in late. We had so much false hope for how things would go that day. He did encourage us on the short breaks in the briefing room and seemed to know the law- which is why I added a star. However, verdict came in the mail. We lost. Everything. Reached out to him. He never responded or followed up to offer condolences or legal advise. Nothing. Seems like a nice guy overall but save your money If you need a shark on your case!
