Meredith Wolfe joined The Rudnicki Firm as a Partner in February 2018. She earned both her B.A. in History and, later, her J.D. from the University of Oklahoma and has been practicing law for nearly a decade. Meredith has worked closely with high profile governors and judges and most recently has become well-versed in consumer defense while a member of the team at The Rudnicki Firm that serves as national counsel for a collection agency. While in law school, Meredith earned the American Achievement Award for the highest grade in Contracts, the Paul K. Frost II Memorial Award, and the Best Brief Award from the ABA National Appellate Advocacy Team. Meredith also served as an Articles Editor on the American Indian Law Review and was named the best second year law student on that publication.
Who is Meredith, other than a rock star attorney? She is an Oklahoma native from Seminole who has five younger siblings. She is also a wife to her loving husband, Mike Wolfe and mother of fraternal twins, Georgia and James.
Meredith loves to read in her spare time, especially non-fiction and World War II history books. She is particularly interested in this time period because both of her grandfathers served in the navy during World War II. Meredith also enjoys learning more about the Great Depression era as that time period was such an important influence on the life of her hero – her grandmother, Paris. Paris grew up as one of six children during the worst economic downturn in modern history.
“My grandmother’s family mortgaged the family cow so that she could afford a train ticket to Philadelphia to get a job with the civil service. She was a very independent and strong woman. Education was very important to her, and she always regretted not being able to go to college,” says Wolfe.
With the emphasis of education ingrained in Meredith’s upbringing, she pursued a career in law because she knew it’d be a job that would be intellectually challenging but, at the same time, she’d be able to help others in the best way she could.
“I like that working [at The Rudnicki Firm] challenges me, and that I’m able to work closely with our clients” says Wolfe.
However, if Meredith didn’t go on to be lawyer she would have become a professional chef. Cooking is one of her passions and one of her favorite things to do outside of work. Currently, she enjoys watching “The Great American Baking Show” with her children.
In addition to cooking, Meredith loves to show her horses. She is the proud owner of two Morgan horses - Jubilee and Lucy. Meredith has also traveled to all 77 counties in the state of Oklahoma and studied abroad in Spain while in college.
With all the experience, merits, and awards Meredith has collected over her educational and legal career, the one addition she is most proud of on her resume is working at The Rudnicki Firm. Likewise, The Rudnicki Firm is honored to have her as part of the team.
