Empowering Clients to Make Informed Decisions with Confidence 

With over two decades of paralegal experience, Meredith takes a detailed and empathetic approach. She engages with clients from the onset of a case, discussing and clarifying each step of the process so they feel empowered to make informed decisions with confidence. 

Meredith handles every family law case with sensitivity, particularly those involving children. She reflects, “In any case involving a child, I consider the child’s perspective. Are our decisions in the child’s best interest? Will they help the child adapt to new circumstances or hinder their development?” 

Meredith holds a Bachelor of Science in Journalism from Colorado State University, with certificates as a paralegal and family law specialist from Washington Technical Institute. She served as an adjunct professor at the University of Alaska’s paralegal studies department for four years and has led numerous Continuing Legal Education (CLE) sessions in Fairbanks, Alaska and Rapid City, South Dakota. A highlight of her career was working on the paralegal and secretarial team during a U.S. Supreme Court appeal. 

Meredith enjoys renovating homes, traveling, cycling, and playing disc golf outside of work. She was a Scout leader for ten years and is involved in several volunteer opportunities in her community. 

Meredith’s Top Tip for Family Law Clients 

 “I understand what an emotionally draining and mentally tiring process this is. You have children who are just as emotionally vulnerable as you are, and it’s important to remember that you love them more than you despise your ex. Let that be your guide in the decisions you make on their behalf.”

I cannot recommend Jeff Domen and his team highly enough. From our initial consultation to the final resolution, Jeff truly understood the assignment.

His team, particularly Meredith Lanis, went above and beyond, answering every question I had, guiding me through each step of this challenging process. Their technical expertise, coupled with practical advice and thoughtful guidance, made all the difference. I am grateful for their support and dedication. For anyone fortunate enough to have Jeff Domen and his team by their side, know that you’re in excellent hands. – F.A.

Divorce is hard. It is even harder when you are not well represented. So, I knew I needed someone very special to represent me as I moved forward in pursuing an amendment to my child custody case as my case was considered high conflict. Jeff Domen and his paralegal, Meredith Lanis, are quite the DYNAMIC DUO! The representation I received, the sound legal advice, the support throughout the months leading up to trial, the validation I felt and received by both Jeff and Meredith is priceless. Meredith is absolutely amazing! She does not miss a beat! She is extremely personable and empathetic, and is meticulous in her work! Jeff is exceptionally strategic in his methodology. His personality is contagious, and I can say without hesitation, I am a better and stronger person now having known him. Who else can say that about their attorney? Jeff and Meredith have been a God send to me. I will be forever grateful for their help! – Genia M.

I will always be grateful to Jeff Domen and Meredith Lanis for all their work with taking over my case after a bad experience with a previous law firm. You want things done, Jeff is the one to do it. He will lay out absolutely every option for you and will fight for what is right for you and your kid/s. Their whole firm seems to be very supportive of each other and work together to attain their goals. Appreciated Jeff’s attitude, passion, and confidence in my case. Appreciated Meredith’s supportive words, advice, and work behind the scenes. A divorce is never something easy to go through, but having a team that is knowledgeable and efficient certainly brings some ease. – Celeste
