"Daniel Talbert handled a complex case with attention to detail... he always listened to me and answered my questions."

Teddy, Meekins & Talbert have always been a law firm you can depend on. On this occasion for representation Daniel Talbert handled a complex case with attention to detail and application of the law. He and his staff communicated with me on all updates and changes pertaining to this case. In our meetings he always listened to me and answered my questions giving me a complete understanding of the situation and strategy. Seeking representation can be overwhelming and a significant financial investment, with no guarantees. I was given clear advice and probabilities of the case during initial consultation which made the hiring of this firm easy. The investment was one I would do again without hesitation. Thanks to Mr. Talbert , the partners and staff for being a law firm that strives to give the best results possible and client service above all others.

"I retained Teddy, Meekins & Talbert and it was the best decision."

I retained Teddy, Meekins & Talbert and it was the best decision. From my first time speaking with them to the conclusion of my legal matter, I knew I was in good hands. They took the time to advise me how to get the best possible outcome for my case while being responsive, diligent, and professional throughout the process. Carol was great at keeping me informed and Attorney Garren fought for me for the best possible outcome. Could not be happier with the results and if you ever need an attorney, give Teddy, Meekins & Talbert a call.

"It was nice having such a useful tool when issues came up in the middle of trial."

I just wanted to let you know how helpful your DWI Trial Notebook was in a recent trial I tried. Every issue that came up both pretrial and during the trial was at my fingertips with all the relevant case law and/or statutory authority. It was nice having such a useful tool when issues came up in the middle of trial. I was able to find the applicable section of the Notebook and get the solution to my problem.
Thank you for all the time and effort you put forth in designing this important tool for trial attorneys. The North Carolina Academy of Trial Lawyers are indeed fortunate to have someone so willing and capable of providing such useful resources.

"Very professional, he's honest, and he is willing to work hard for his clients."

This law firm is incredible! I was referred to attorney Daniel Talbert by a friend to assist me with child custody and a divorce. To say he is the best attorney is an understatement---Daniel Talbert CARES, he's very professional, he's honest, and he is willing to work hard for his clients. Another blessing is his legal assistant Shannon. I cannot count how many times that she answered my questions or just provided an empathetic ear to listen during a difficult time. Words cannot express my appreciation for Daniel Talbert and Shannon Wallace---I will be forever grateful to this firm and I highly recommend this firm for your legal needs!

"She is worth it... Shannon helped me leave the courtroom with no insurance or driver's license points."

I hired Shannon Aldous to represent me for a speeding ticket that included reckless driving due to the excess speed which the officer said I was going. Shannon helped me leave the court room with no insurance or driver's license points. I spent less than 15 minutes in the court room in total. The whole experience working with her was a lot less stressful than what I could have been if I did it solo. I had contacted several other lawyers but she seemed the most confident about the outcome we would get with my situation. I highly recommend Shannon.

"Mr. Talbert not only gets the job but he dots every I And crosses every T."

I have hired Mr. Talbert for several cases including traffic, criminal and my most recent probation violation. Mr. Talbert not only gets the job but he dots every I And crosses every T. My recent case he found a clerical error on my violation filing date. He came to find out the Prosecution filed after my 36months Of supervisions was completed. I had to travel over 11 hours one way to appear in Rutherford county because I have been living in another state since the start of supervision. So in the end it was all worth the drive because It was All dismissed so I walked away free and debt free from the fines they wanted to violate me on. Talbert gets the results you look for, and beyond in my case.

"Daniel just simply would not stop fighting for me... he worked relentlessly for me."

In 2019 I was facing a fight for my freedom. Daniel Talbert and his assistant Lindsay worked relentlessly to not only keep me free, & with my children but to also help me keep my job. There was countless time put in thru repetitive emails & conversations, several let downs and run arounds. However, Daniel just simply would not stop fighting for me. It’s been 3 years and I still think of his gratitude. Never one time was I treated like anything less than a valued client. I felt more like I was on a team of 3 all for my good. My life was forever changed by the hard work and determination of these two. I have now completed the probation & community service I received for a very serious felony, I remain at my full time job AND even opened a business since. If you think it’s the end of the road, it’s not, unless you get the wrong attorney. Lol And regardless of the outcome it feels good to know you have someone who will fight even to the bitter end with you. There’s not much more one could ask for. Daniel, Lindsay — I hope you all are well. Once again, Thank you!

"Your approach to the case that day and your friendly manner made us think there was hope."

Thank you for your professionalism and persistence in handling our daughter’s case. The day she came home and told me what happened, my heart sank. Not knowing who to turn to made it even more painful. We drove to our first appointment with you with much apprehension. Your approach to the case that day and your friendly manner made us think there was hope. Thanks for everything.

"David Teddy and his assistant treat you like family... I consider them the best in Cleveland County, maybe the best in all of NC."

I strongly recommend David Teddy and his assistant Angela to anyone and everyone. If you need a law firm with lawyers that's going to fight for you they are the only choice to make. I consider them the best in Cleveland county maybe the best in all of NC. They will fight for you. They will keep you updated on all your court dates and anything going on with your case. They will put the time and energy into you that no other law firm would. They care about what happens to you and your family! After your court case is handled in court they will still be there for all of your questions and legal needs. I had a probation violation for absconding in 2018 my case went to court in 2021 they were able to fight for me to allow me to stay at home on house arrest with my disabled son instead of serving my sentence out in prison. I am truly grateful for them! I still have 1 pending felony that hasn't went to court yet but I am extremely confident that they will fight for me just like they did for my probation violation. David Teddy and his assistant treat you like family they are there anytime you need them. Rain shine sleet or snow they will show up for you. Hire them you won't regret it. They went above and beyond for me they will do the same thing for you!

"David Teddy was more than worth the money... he actually took the time to listen."

David Teddy was more than worth the money. I have had several lawyers and he was the only one who actually took the time to listen to me and to make sure everything I said was heard. He went above and beyond to make sure that I was taken care of. If you are considering this lawyer have no doubt that he can and will get the results you want.

A very credible and professional law firm. Mr. Meekins kept me informed during the procession of my case while educating me on various case scenarios. The only regret I had when picking up my disbursement was not being able to meet him to get his autograph!

"I am Thrilled! My experience with Mr. Teddy was a Fantastic one!"

I am Thrilled! My experience with Mr. Teddy was a Fantastic one! He & his Assistant Yessinia were present & responsive for questions & updates. But most of all, he got me the RESULT! THE kind of Result (yes w/ a capital "R") that u r looking for when u r forking over hard-earned money to an attorney. I think most of us know that we can always work out a plea bargain on our own. However, (and without getting too far off into a political tangent) I'll just say up in good ole boy Shelby, NC their not too worried about maintaining or honoring your Uninaliable & Constitutional Rights- (In Fact the very 1st thing they do B4 YOUR EVEN ARRAIGNED is hand u a piece of paper that asks u to sign all your rights away! Which I have NVR seen done b4! And I was both disgusted & broken hearted to see how many ppl do it without so much as a question just b/c their scared & believe they HAVE to. For failure to just educate themselves!) -But that's more for 1 of my YT video's! 😁 ANYHOO- Long story short, I had to get an Attorney. As far as any possible outcome for my specific ticket, Mr. Teddy got me the SLAM-DUNK! I sincerely Thank You & Yessinia SO MUCH! Even with the prosecution a bit peeved from me doing my due diligence in the beginning to get the case dismissed along with my unwillingness to just sign my rights away, and actually trying to envoke & stand on my rights as a Flesh & Blood common-law Sovereign of these U.S. (Not to be incorrectly profiled as a terrorist, as apparently "Constitution" & "Sovereign" have become dirty words in our courtrooms) But again, I digress! 😂 But even after the prosecution was thinking "Oh, she's one of THOSE" 😏 Mr. Teddy was able to approach her on my behalf and say "I want this, this & this" and GET IT! He is AMAZING! Not to mention just very down to earth & cool! The kind of person u just automatically know u can talk to! I'd say, if u r thinking about hiring an attorney for your case, you need look NO Further! In the meantime, thx for taking a moment to read my review!
