Meredith Gerhart

Meredith Gerhart, admitted to the bar in 2010, specializes in family law, focusing on divorce, legal separation, parenting plan modifications, child support adjustments, paternity issues, and relocations. Her practice is based in Olympia, Washington.

In addition to her private practice, Meredith serves as a Guardian ad Litem on the Thurston County Title 26 Guardian ad Litem registry. She is frequently appointed by the court to advocate for children in dependency proceedings initiated by the State of Washington.

Unlike many of her peers, Meredith entered law school with a clear intent to specialize in family law. Her dedication is driven by a commitment to minimizing potential harm to children involved in court proceedings, both directly and indirectly. She consistently strives for child-centered and trauma-focused representation, prioritizing the well-being of vulnerable community members.

Meredith's academic background includes a cum laude Bachelor of Arts in Linguistics from Vanderbilt University and a J.D. from Gonzaga University School of Law. During her time at Gonzaga, she served as the Staff Editor of the Gonzaga Law Review.
