  • I do not recommend Robert Merlin.
  • I used Robert 1-3 years ago.
  • Robert handled my Divorce / Separation matter.
  • I have previously worked with no lawyers.
Client Review:
Mr. Merlin understands the law and uses his knowledge to perpetuate the litigation until such time as he is satisfied with the money he has bilked from his client.

Mr. Merlin's ineptitude left many unanswered and unaddressed questions in my divorce settlement and I would still be in court today if my former spouse and I had not agreed that our relationship with our son was continually being compromised by the litigious actions of both of our Miami family lawyers.

When a family lawyer in Miami (such as Mr. Merlin) tells you that divorce proceedings are about "the best interest of the child", I urge you to hold them to their word.

Mr. Merlin only cares about one thing: Money (i.e. "his").

  • I recommend Robert Merlin.
  • I used Robert 1-3 years ago.
  • Robert handled my Divorce / Separation matter.
  • I have previously worked with 3-5 lawyers.
Client Review:
First I would like to say that if all Lawyers were like Mr. Merlin, the appeals court would not have any mistakes to fix. I came to Mr. Merlin with what I thought was the most complicated issue in Florida. As I explained to him what my issues were, he listened to every word I said and assured me that it was going to be OK. Before I left his office he said "We have to get you back on top" Mr. Merlin, I am back on top and thanks to you, my future is bright. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you. You have a friend for life.

Rober Merlin has a very professional attitude, with a excellent knowledge in the family law practice. Without his help, my issues would have not been resolved on a timely or financially viable basis. I recommend Mr. Merlin as an attorney and would use him again, if the need would arise.

  • I recommend Robert Merlin.
  • I used Robert more than 3 years ago.
  • Robert handled my Divorce / Separation matter.
  • I have previously worked with more than 10 lawyers.
Client Review:
Bob has the utmost ethical and moral background in dealing with his clients of almost any attorney I have dealt with. He does not distinguish between male and female litigants and strives to produce an equitable outcome, as he did in my case. I have spoken with him in the past as he spoke only generally about the nuances of family law, and recommended a client to utilize his services in preparing a prenuptial agreement.

Plaintiff or respondent, male or female, Bob Merlin represents his clients as a true lawyer should, as an advocate for theirs rights, and with an eye towards case resolution.
