Meredith primarily handles criminal matters, bringing extensive experience in appellate practice to Haddon, Morgan, and Foreman.
After graduating with awards from the University of Michigan Law School, Meredith moved to Colorado to clerk for Alan M. Loeb, Chief Judge of the Colorado Court of Appeals. Through her clerkship, she developed a passion for appellate litigation and criminal defense.

Meredith has successfully represented countless defendants, litigating complex constitutional and statutory issues and holding numerous oral arguments before the Colorado Court of Appeals and Colorado Supreme Court.
Of her many appellate victories, Meredith’s notable cases include vacating her clients’ felony convictions in People v. Hookfin, 16CA736, People v. Maddox, 17CA1373, People v.
