Law Firm Overview Free Consultation

The Law Offices of Rhodes & Meryhew is not a "jack-of-all-trades" criminal defense law firm. We do not handle every type of charge under the sun. Instead, we have chosen to apply our skills and efforts with a focus on the crimes, laws and defenses we know best: sex crimes defense and domestic violence defense.

We know your life and reputation are at stake. When you or a loved one are accused of these difficult charges you need experienced courtroom attorneys with an earned track record of success. At Rhodes & Meryhew LLP, we work on these complicated and emotional cases every day. We take the time to hear our clients, and to make sure they and their families understand what is happening.

Our attorneys are trained and experienced at interviewing emotional witnesses and child witnesses. We know the right way to do these interviews and we attack the method of those who do it wrong. We will make sure that your side is heard, that your story is told, and that you are vigorously defended.

We believe that getting to know our clients and understanding their situation is critical to effectively defending our clients. People charged with a crime need to have their story told with passion and determination. We take the opportunity to talk with our clients at length about what's happened, what is happening, and about what's likely to happen in the future. We also believe that our client’s family, friends and support system should be involved when that is helpful to the client. We are happy to take the time to explain things to our clients and to the people they rely on for support.

The law also recognizes that domestic violence can and does occur between people who are not living together as well. Boyfriends, girlfriends, same-sex partners, unmarried parents, and former spouses can each be victims or perpetrators of domestic violence whether they currently live together or not.
