Washington Domestic Violence Attorney
Criminal Defense Attorneys - Seattle, Washington
When someone is charged with a life changing charge a general practice attorney is not the answer. 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.

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.

At Rhodes & Meryhew, we focus on these difficult cases to insure you get the best representation possible. We advocate AND we counsel. We fight these charges every day and we have the track record to prove it. But a strong advocate isn't all you need. We want you to be educated and prepared, to understand how the law works, the defenses and options available to you, and what to expect at each new phase of the case.
Sex crimes allegations can devastate a person's entire life even before charges are filed. If you have been accused of sexual misconduct of any kind you need lawyers who understand how these accusations are made and how to defend you.
Domestic Violence allegations usually result from very complicated family situations that require experience and understanding to explain. We understand the family dynamics that lead to these accusations, and we are experienced at making sure that your side of the story is told and that your future is not ruined.
If you have been arrested for a sex crime or domestic violence - you need someone who will take the time to make sure you understand the process, the law, and the options you have, just as much as you need someone who will vigorously fight to defend your rights and tell your story.
