Admitted to the bar in 2010, Meredith Gerhart has devoted her legal career to various facets of family law, specializing in divorce, legal separation, parenting plan modifications, child support adjustments, paternity matters, and relocations.
Apart from her private practice, Meredith serves as a Guardian ad Litem on the Thurston County Title 26 Guardian ad Litem registry. Court appointments frequently task her with advocating for young individuals in dependency proceedings initiated by the State of Washington.
Unlike many of her peers, Meredith pursued law school with a distinct aim of becoming a family law practitioner. Her motivation lies in a steadfast commitment to minimizing potential harm to children involved in court proceedings, whether directly or indirectly. On a daily basis, she actively engages in child-centered and trauma-focused representation, striving to protect the well-being of the most vulnerable members of the community.
Meredith's academic journey comprises achieving a cum laude Bachelor of Arts in Linguistics from Vanderbilt University, followed by earning her J.D. from Gonzaga University School of Law. During her time at Gonzaga, she distinguished herself as the Staff Editor of the Gonzaga Law Review.
