About RPM Law
RPM Law, PLLC is a Tucson law firm focused primarily on family law and juvenile law. Located in downtown Tucson, the firm serves individuals throughout Arizona, with a particular emphasis on clients in Tucson and Southern Arizona. Its stated mission is to provide quality legal support in settling family disputes, while also assisting service members with the legal issues that can arise in military families.
The firm handles a broad range of family law matters, including divorce, uncontested divorce, child support, paternity, parenting time, child custody, post-decree modifications, and termination of parental rights. Its work also includes LGBTQI and same-sex family law matters, as well as paternity cases involving co-parenting for couples who were never married. RPM Law describes its experience as extending from uncontested dissolutions to complex, highly contested divorce and custody disputes. The firm also assists with guardianship matters involving minors and adults.
Juvenile law is another primary area of practice. RPM Law assists with disputes involving allegations of child abuse, neglect, or mistreatment, including cases involving the Arizona Department of Child Safety, formerly known as CPS. The firm identifies experience with DCS matters, dependency, severance, and other juvenile law concerns. Its website also notes past representation across additional legal areas, including criminal defense, civil litigation, DUI defense, protective orders, civil traffic hearings, probate, personal injury, and appellate work, although family law and juvenile law remain its central focus.
RPM Law emphasizes a team approach built around its attorneys and legal support staff. The firm says its team members come from diverse backgrounds and use that breadth of life experience to investigate options, evaluate possible resolutions, and address each matter collaboratively. Attorneys Julia K. Palfreyman and Andrew P. Meshel are identified on the firm's website. RPM Law states that no two family or juvenile cases are identical, and that its process is intended to account for each client's circumstances, goals, and resources. The firm describes its communication style as direct, explaining that it aims to provide the information clients need to make decisions for themselves and their families.
Military family law is a significant part of RPM Law's work. Meshel served as an aviator in the United States Navy and as a combat search and rescue pilot with the Air Force Reserve. Both Meshel and Palfreyman participated as supervised attorneys in the Veterans Advocacy Law Clinic during their legal studies. The firm also notes that Meshel continues to serve as pro bono counsel for veterans in Arizona's Regional Municipalities Veterans Court. RPM Law works with service members facing military divorce and other family law matters, including long-distance custody arrangements and division of military retirement. The firm frequently serves those stationed at Davis-Monthan, Fort Huachuca, and Luke.
