The Meryhew Law Group, PLLC

I first hired Brad when I faced a serious criminal charge that could have meant prison. He helped me secure a sentence of jail and probation instead. Good job, Brad. Years later, I hired him again when a probation officer tried to revoke my parole. This time, the experience was very different. He rushed the job, admitted to violations I had directed him to deny, and submitted a brief with factual errors that I only saw after the fact. His work felt last-minute, and he ignored my clear directions. Bad job, Brad. When I tried to discuss this with him afterward, he dismissed my concerns, told me I was “fighting everyone about everything like Donald Trump,” complained about the time it took to read my letters, and made a snide remark as I left his office. Instead of accountability, I got hostility. I reported him to the Washington State Bar Association, but he avoided consequences by withholding my written instructions and claiming I had changed my mind during a last-minute phone call. Regardless of the Bar’s response, pleading guilty against your client’s wishes is unacceptable. I hired Brad based on his reputation and expertise. He breached my trust. I would not hire him again.
