In January of 2020 Meredith went into partnership with two other former prosecutors and opened Chacon, Campbell & Alexander, PLLC.  The firm concentrates on criminal and family law and as a private attorney she now represents children and parents involved in the CPS legal system as an ad litem attorney.  Meredith was appointed by Bexar County Judge Nelson Wolff to the Bexar County Child Welfare Board in 2018 and was elected Secretary in 2019.  She is a frequent speaker and presenter in the legal community and child advocacy arena based on her work in child welfare in Bexar County.
