Merril Sue Chin

This was the worst experience i could ever imagine. She was rude and completely disrespectful. She asked for the same information over and over again. Usually one day before she billed and then would bill for trying to get same info that I already sent her. Case went nowhere and dragged on for months... with zero forward momentum. But bills kept coming right on time. She never seemed to remember any details of my case. Such a disaster and waste of money. Please look elsewhere.

I was the plantiff in a case. She was the defense attorney. I filed for custody a month prior and received an answer to that filing less than 24 hours before court, the judge then allowing me to file my own affidavit. She then went as far as to scream 3 time In open court I have an addict Brain. This... lady is out of touch. I have zero experience acting pro se and I walked out of court that day feeling like I won the battle. Buyer beware for sure. She also was emailing me her inter office correspondence between office personnel I had to email her to let her know what she was doing.

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.

From the beginning, highly unorganized, rude, condescending, always forgetting paperwork where I had to produce for her again. Not helpful with questions, made me feel like a dummy for asking. She always takes phone calls on my billed time. Worked on other cases during my billed court time. Did not ...work effectively with other attorneys which in turn took longer to get my case moving forward. Ultimately sought alternate competent council who moved my case forward quicker in one month than she did in one year. Has no permanent office help, so always unprepared. Always looking for money before an itemized bill went in mail. Be careful to watch her billing properly. Seemed to always go away on personal business which pushed my court dates out further. Highly dissapointed!! I would never recommend her to anyone.

I hired Merril Chin for a restraining order case in which I was the plaintiff. Merril took the time to understand the details of the case, the people involved, and the reason why a court order for protection was necessary. At trial, she was organized, well prepared and thoroughly helped the judge u...nderstand the need. Merril was also great at nullifying the defendant's attempts to redirect the case with unsubstantiated counterclaims.
