Fifteen-plus years of steady, client-first legal representation in Meridian City.
Runwrk Law Group was founded in 2008 by attorney Margaret Whitfield, who opened a small immigration practice out of a single office above a Meridian City bakery. What started as a one-attorney firm handling green card applications for local families has grown into a full-service practice covering immigration, family law, personal injury, criminal defense, and estate planning.
Through that growth, the founding principle hasn't changed: clients deserve lawyers who explain things plainly, return phone calls, and treat their problems as urgent. Today our attorneys and staff serve hundreds of clients across Meridian County each year, but we've deliberately stayed small enough that no client becomes a file number.
Our mission is to make quality legal representation approachable — to sit down with clients, listen to what's actually happening in their lives, and build a legal strategy around it. We believe clients make better decisions when they understand their options, so we prioritize plain-language communication over legal jargon at every stage of a case.
We also believe access matters. That's why we offer free initial consultations across all five of our practice areas and work to keep clients informed at every step, from intake through resolution.
Experienced counsel across every practice area we serve.
