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.

This attorney is not only a farce she is also a liar, and a thieve. Don’t take anyone’s recommendation of this poor excuse of an attorney. Save your money and if your case is at all important then run to someone else who will actually defend you. Her associate is just as disgraceful, clearly she’s le...arning from the worst. Not only did her associate refuse to defend any part of my case in court, she repeatedly failed to file documents, follow up on motions etc but on top of it all she showed up to court late…I mean by almost an hour! If you think maybe she was preparing for the case and that’s why she ran late nope she freestyled everything…everything. She would stutter for 10 mins straight. She would stop the proceedings to ask me to elaborate on things that we had already covered multiple times and push me to settle everything and consent to motions in our custody agreement that I told her were crazy and against everything I was trying to protect our child against. When I would reach out to her boss Merril she had the audacity to scream at me and defend their incompetence. That’s all you need to know about that circus. Had 0 interest, 0 cares and 0 empathy for anything that didn’t involve you filling up her pockets. Oh and good luck if you’re looking for communication from these clowns!

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.

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.
