Scariest time of my life getting my DUI. What I found in shopping for which firm to hire was that Meaney and Patrin was the most respected firm in the industry. Not one attorney I spoke with had one bad thing to say about Ethan or Derek. That was a huge factor in confirming my decision to hire Ethan (as he was assigned in my arresting county). He literally blew me away with his professionalism, knowledge and speed at which he managed my case. And that was before I saw him in court. He was a bulldog, I was beyond impressed and felt so safe and comfortable. I was very proud to have him speak for me and defend my case, which he won(!) and had my charge dismissed and my fines minimal. He was a total rock star from start to finish. Best decision of my life to hire him!

I had a citation that violated a driving probation. I was stressing myself out over what to do and how to approach the citation. Do I pay it right away? Do I wait? What implications will this have on my driving record and probation? To say I was pulling my hair out would be an understatement. I posted my situation and question here on AVVO and was promptly responded to by Ethan. He went above and beyond just giving me advice, he walked me through how to approach my situation and basically laid out a plan for me to follow; the last resort was to hire him if the first few steps did not work out. I almost felt like I had hired him considering the amount of advice and consult he gave me. He told me things that I should do that I couldn't even find on the internet. Thanks to Ethan's guidance, I received the best possible outcome and am no worse off. Going forward, if I am ever in a situation similar to this, Ethan will be the first one I contact.

Ethan was prompt, professional and very thorough in all of our interactions. He took the time to explain the small details and nuances of my legal proceedings. I could not have asked for a better attorney.

Ethan is very gifted at explaining the exact legal issues that will have to be confronted in your case. He took an almost terrifying experience and broke it down to its component parts and steps, and got me through it stronger after it was over than I was when it began. He knows his law, his case law, and it appears he knows every prosecutor and judge in every county in the state of Minnesota. I put my total faith in his judgement and competence, and he came through successful.

Ethan is an all around good guy and tremendous lawyer.He helped me out big time with my case and I would definetly recommend him.Every time I called he would answer and if not he would get right back to me within a very short time.Thanks alot Ethan.

Ethan does a great job ensuring you know what to expect and how the process will unfold. At crunch time, he is a very talented negotiator who will get the best result for you. I would recommend Ethan to anyone facing a DUI charge.

Ethan is an outstanding attorney. He kept me informed on the progress of my case, answered all of my questions and has an abundance of knowledge in this area of the law. I was very lucky to find him.

Ethan was a hero at my trials - he is honestly one of the best lawyers in this field. I owe him a life time of gratitude. His knowledge and honestly was outstanding. I would recommend anyone who has been pulled over for drinking by law enforcement to give Ethan Meaney a call. You need a knowledgeable and trustworthy attorney at your side when going through something as hard as this. I would recommend Ethan to anyone.

Ethan represtend me in a dui case. He worked very hard and always kept me informed. He and his partner Derek were very knowledgeable about the law and kept working my case. They did help me reduce the charges and they were well worth every penny. I would recommend Ethan to anyone needing Dui representation.

I called Ethan late one night and he answered my questions and gave me great advice, even before I decided to hire him. He got my DWI reduced down to a Reckless. Through the whole process he kept in informed and updated on what was going to happen. I would not hesitate to recommend to anyone. He did a great job. I will keep his card with me and pass it to anyone I know that would be in need of his service.

i hired Ethan over the phone from Des Moines Iowa,I havent had very good luck with lawyers but with Eathan i felt very comfortable after one phone call.He did a great job for me and went the extra mile to get my case dismissed.I reccomend Ethan very strongly.!!!!!

Very thorough, very reassuring. By talking to Ethan and putting my situation in his hands I truly felt everything was going to work out and it did.
