Margaret “Margie” Meier joined The Rudnicki Firm as a Partner in November 2017. In the last two years, she has tackled over two hundred cases, most of them being in federal courts across the nation. Margie earned her J.D. at Drake University Law School, graduating with high honors. She’s admitted to practice in Iowa, Minnesota, Texas, and Oklahoma with Kansas pending. Her practice ranges from Consumer Litigation to Personal Injury cases. One could say the love of law runs through her blood since Margie’s father is an attorney and she always enjoyed hearing about his cases and going to his office as a young child, thus catapulting her goals to becoming an attorney. So who is Margaret other than a tenacious attorney?

Q: Where are you from?

A: Interstate 35 states -- 25 years in Iowa, 9 years in Minnesota, 3 years in Texas, 5 months in Kansas.

Q: Who is a hero in your life you really look up to?

A: I have no one set “hero.” It’s just not in my nature to idolize people. There are qualities that I admire in others, but I would not say I have a “hero” because I believe we’re all basically the same.  After all, we all put our socks on one at a time!

Q:  What would you have like to be if you didn’t go to school to be a lawyer?

A:   Hmmm, not sure. Too many to list!

Q: Do you have a go-to sound or song that you listen to when you need to just start working?

A: I have a whole playlist! 

Q: What’s your favorite thing about working at The Rudnicki Firm?

A: Working with smart, driven, strategic, supportive colleagues who do all they can to provide the best client service and results all while enjoying what they do!

Q: Do you have any siblings?

A: Yes, an older brother. 3 brothers-in-law and 3 sisters-in-law.

Q: Do you have a favorite sport/sport that you played?

A: I love sports! I’d have to say the favorite sports that I played were: (1) volleyball and (2) basketball.

Q: What’s your favorite TV show?

A: That’s a tough one! I can’t pick just one. So, I will say anything that involves mystery and detective work.

Q: What’s something people wouldn’t guess about you/ what people hardly know about you?

A: I’m a prankster!

With Margie’s cultivated taste in what motivates her and creative style in moving a case along The Rudnicki Firm is proud to have someone as ambitious as she is with the firm.
