About Meredith
Meredith McKinnon finished law school in 2021 after completing an undergraduate degree five years earlier. She studied at the University of Baltimore School of Law, earning her J.D.; before that she took her undergraduate studies at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County, graduating in 2016. Those years shaped her early legal thinking and introduced her to the practical work of law through clinics and classroom debate.
Her career is firmly tied to Maryland. After law school she moved into practice at Silverman Thompson. At the firm she works as a lawyer handling matters that arise under Maryland law. Colleagues describe her as methodical in preparation and exacting in courtroom detail. She has handled filework, client counseling, and courtroom appearances as part of the firm's team.
Her legal training at the University of Baltimore emphasized practical skills alongside doctrinal study. She took coursework that covered civil procedure, evidence, and professional responsibility, and she entered practice with recent iterations of those courses fresh in mind. Her undergraduate education at UMBC preceded that and provided a liberal arts background that she draws on when preparing written arguments and explaining complex points to clients.
At Silverman Thompson McKinnon has worked on cases and matters filed in Maryland courts and before administrative bodies. She contributes to case strategy, briefs, and hearings. Peers note that newer lawyers at the firm often take on detailed research assignments; she assumed those responsibilities early and grew into broader assignments that included client meetings and court appearances.
Outside courtroom documents and client memoranda, McKinnon spends time keeping current on changes to state procedure and local practice. That work helps her advise clients on timing, filing deadlines, and the local rules that matter in Maryland practice. She is part of a firm environment where lawyers collaborate on strategy and divide tasks so that each matter receives focused attention.
She remains based in Maryland and continues to practice law at Silverman Thompson. Her current work concentrates on representing clients in matters that arise under Maryland law, including proceedings before state courts and administrative agencies.
