Meredith blends skill and heart to offer the best of both.

I am guardian, conservator and wife of my loved one who has a mental illness. It was a breath of fresh air to meet with her as she listened and clearly offered me options to support my loved one and support me - now and in the future. And, due to the previous attorney not filing a report correctly, ...I was called into court and Meredith was able to go to court for me, reschedule the court date and arrange to allow me to be on the phone. This is a huge benefit for me as I travel for work to support my loved ones care needs and this saved me $2500.00. She is the first attorney who I feel has their head and heart connected that I can totally trust to guide me in a way that works for me and my loved one. Thank you Meredith, very much.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
