When someone is charged with a crime so serious it can change the course of their life, a general practice attorney is not the answer. When it affects your family the problem only becomes more complex. The Meryhew Law Group, PLLC is not a "jack-of-all-trades" criminal defense law firm. Instead, we have chosen to focus our skills and efforts on the crimes, laws and defenses we know best: sex crimes and domestic violence defense, and family law involving these kinds of allegations. Our four attorneys work together as a team on these complex and challenging cases every day with proven results.

At The Meryhew Law Group we pride ourselves on practicing law in a way that demands an ethic of care and heightened interpersonal skills, and in a way that values and benefits the psychological well-being of our clients as well as their legal rights and interests. We seek to actively prevent future legal problems by directly addressing the issues that lead to the problem in the first place. We are very experienced in all types of creative solutions to achieve the best outcomes for our clients, including various types of counseling and treatment.

In 2008 Brad was appointed to the Washington Sex Offender Policy Board and has been active in developing policy recommendations which have been adopted by the Legislature in regards to sex offender management. He also speaks regularly at conferences and trainings regarding sex offense defense and policy. In 2010 Norm Partington joined The Meryhew Law Group to work on sex offense defense, petitions to remove the requirement of sex offender registration and domestic violence cases. Adam Shapiro also joined the firm in 2010, focusing his practice on family law, CPS investigations and dependency cases. We are three lawyers with a broad range of skills who work together as a team to ensure that our clients receive the best representation we can provide. We are committed to excellence in our practice, and to advocating for our clients in the courtroom, in the Legislature, and wherever we can find an opportunity to address these important issues. Check us out if you know someone who is in the fight of their lives---that is what we do.
Our Office Manager is Danica Wettland. Our Paralegal is Alissa Henderson.
