Graybill & Mead PLLC

I had very much a similar experience with Mr. Mead as the others below. I had a dispute with an estate, and he initially took my case with a sizeable retainer. I do not recommend representation by this firm. I eventually replaced him as my lawyer.

I had to fly home to deal with my mothers estate and book a consultation which was over $240 for one hour of verbiage my sister and I didn’t even understand. Don’t get me wrong he sounded like he knew what he was talking about but we really didn’t . We felt defeated, and left with our hands up in the air. There was one question that he couldn’t answer which was kind of irrelevant anyways and I told him don’t worry about it, but he said he would have his assistant do it and then I noticed I got a bill for that time as well in addition, I just called now, a year later because the situation has changed and was told that his price had increased to $300 for a consult. I explained all I needed to do was ask one question. I explained I couldn’t fly home again to do another in person consult. For an attorney that would like to be hired I think it’s absolutely ridiculous that I was going to be charged again from just needing to know an answer to one question which would most likely if it would’ve been a yes, I would’ve needed his services. I told the young lady who answered the phone that I will just call someone else and she had no problem saying goodbye to me. Wasn’t the most friendliest. These are obviously lawyers, who doesn’t need any more money. What a shame now to charge $300 for just a one hour consult to see if you can help yourself or family member with real estate law. Our family will not be returning. As someone who is Self Employed and also has clients who do consultations (which are free) in the hopes that I do get secured by them, even if I did charge a consultation fee I certainly won a year later, charge them again for anything if they had one question in the situation changed.

I don't believe I've left a five star review for anyone or anything, until today. Favorable decision in the courtroom.

I hired Mr. Mead for a divorce and custody case. Hiring him was one of the most expensive mistakes I have ever made. I absolutely do NOT recommend hiring him. I would have been better off representing myself.

Thank you Dan Mead for assisting us in the creation of our wills and Durable Power of Finance and Health completed.. Your patience and “plain English” explanation of terminology was invaluable.
