JEFF’S BIOGRAPHY

Jeff attended the University of Cincinnati where he received his undergraduate degree in Philosophy (B.A.) in 1992. After being accepted to the University of Miami School of Law in Coral Gables, Florida, he moved south and attended the U. of M. School of Law full-time while also working at American Airlines (Miami Intl. Airport) full-time, working for Lexis-Nexis (part-time) and commuting to Cincinnati every other weekend to be with his children.

Knowing the value of family and community, upon graduation from the Univ. of Miami School of Law in 1996, Jeff returned to the Cincinnati area to practice law and be with his children. Upon passing the bar, Jeff initially shared office space in Blue Ash with two other attorneys where he successfully operated a general law practice.

In 1999, Jeff joined Lyons & Lyons Co., L.P.A. where he quickly assumed the lead role in aggressive DUI/DWI/OMVI/OVI defense. Over the last decade, you would be hard pressed to find an attorney who has taken more DUI/OVI cases to trial than Jeff Meadows. Jeff is a DUI(OVI) TRIAL ATTORNEY!
