I went to Tami because I heard so many great things.
I was incredibly disappointed not only in January 2019 when we went to court but still 2 years later.
I was told to settle on a 50/50 custody agreement because “the judges daughter is sick and she wants to go”, I feel like I was bullied by my own counsel to settle . I was completely lost, nervous, and vulnerable, I went for counsel because my daughter’s father was extremely overpowering and made me feel small. I needed Tami to help guide me and give me strength. Instead she told me to agree to 50/50 without stating the obvious, 50/50

I 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

Positive: Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness, Value
Kelly Giraudo is a true professional. If you're looking for an attorney to sugar coat things just to give you unrealistic expectations, go elsewhere. If you want an attorney who will give you her candid, professional opinion about your prospects in court vs mediation, you're in the right place.

Susan is an outstanding attorney. She is highly responsive, detail oriented, highly empathetic, and overall a tremendous advocate for her clients. I felt very comfortable raising questions and concerns and always felt like Susan had my best interests in mind. I was very confident in Susan's abilities to represent me with care and integrity. I feel 100% sure that i chose the correct attorney for my case and would not hesitate to fully recommend Susan to anyone in need of legal services along the lines of her subject-matter expertise.

Divorce is never easy or inexpensive. Being reasonable and cooperative helps. Ms. Butler encouraged both. She and her staff were accessible, informative, supportive and efficient. That decreased stress and cost. What could have taken months or years only took a few weeks and what we as a couple worked hard for stayed in our pockets. It’s always hard to think about starting over but it’s a little easier without anger and resentment

Tami is an excellent attorney and I think very highly of her and her team. During my initial consultation with her, I felt like she was understanding of my situation and she took the time to listen to me and give me some insight on what would be necessary in my case. She was very informative and had answers to all of my questions. Her professionalism did not end there. From the moment I hired her, she was dedicated to help win my case. Although we did not end up having to go to trial, I had a lot of confidence in her that she would represent me in the best possible way. She always returned my phone
