Watch out

I had to provide points for her to argue rather than she, coming out with a defense herself. Does not fight you nor what's in the best interests of the children. Afraid to standup to other attorney's a disaster.

Long term attorney

I have gad Merrill as an Attorney since 2006. She was able to manage my case as thorough as can be with in Massachusetts law. Her tactics are fair and equitable. Merrill guided me through the law and personally arriving at an understanding between truth and justice us not always equal or fair, but th...e reality if the situation is what us most important. Yes Merrill helped me gain more funds in child support and custody, but with fair and equitable tactics. She inspired my son to go to law school and fight for what is right. Although I have moved out of state, I know I can always call or email her Bd get a honest answer. Thank Merrill.

Unethical - Unprofessional

Currently working as pro se in my divorce case and this attorney is a complete nightmare! She is not acting in the best interest of the children, she is viscous, and rude. She should not have her license to practice law! Especially Family Law!!!

Help me going through the toughest custody battle

When I found Merril , it was the darkest time in my life. Through her legal advise, I realized my first lawyer knew nothing about family law which threw my life into hell. Due to the consequences of my first lawyer's work, I would say my case became one of the most difficult cases among custody batt...les. With effective strategies, Merril fought really hard in and outside the court for me. Finally we turned my case around. Besides her professional help, she also helped me to see the whole picture of the situation, make rational decisions. Many times, she told me "why not putting the money into your kid's education, instead of paying me?" How many lawyers out there would tell their client this? Because she cares about her client from the bottom of her heart! My life could not get back in the track without her help.
