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 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.

During the consultation, she appeared capable. After I signed the retention agreement this ended. Documents were lost, conversation notes forgotten and to reconstruct such, I was billed a 2nd and 3rd time. Court dates were continuously pushed forward because she scheduled frequent vacations but I w...as living with the realities of the unresolved issues. Her desire to represent me seemed to run hot and cold but as the paying client, I needed an attorney to represent me regardless of mood. When she did not understand something, she became hostile and aggressive. Personal insults were the norm and I was expected to pay my monthly bill before seeing the itemization. When I made the decision to seek other cousel, she delayed returning my records, either because they were temporarily lost or in a last attempt to gain a few more dollars. I had to contact the office multiple times to schedule the pickup of these documents.

She helped me through a very very horrible divorce and custody issue. She handled my case each and every time we attended court, which was numerous time with nothing but pure professionalism. She showed her expertise with divorce and family law so was able to ensure that the final court judgment was ...on my side. She was always so helpful with any questions or any aspects that was not very clear to me. She always returned my call or email same day without fail and did not charge me for most of this. She was more than just a Lawyer as she also showed she really cared about what I was going through. I rated her even highly because she offered me the most flexible option of paying, she never once contacted me about a past bill but instead allowed me to make payments when I can. Now, I don't think you will find many Lawyers out there willing to be that flexible. If you are looking for an honest, reliable, knowledgable Lawyer, she is defiently the one. Merril did the job I hired her to do and she did it very well. I had a very good experience working with her and honest cannot imagine what I would have done if I had not had her as my Lawyer.

She did not seem to have a grasp on my case. I kept dealing with her associates, then she would call and ask the same questions. Of course, I was billed for talking to te associate, Merill, and for Merill to talk to the associate. I felt she was unprepared for court, and did not prepare me as well.... If questioned, she would become very snippy. I have spent thousands and my case is literally gone no where.
