Client Review

Mr. Merrigan is that rare lawyer that makes you feel confident that he is looking out for your best interests and not his own. He represented me well when I was up against a big insurance company and we won. He has subsequently guided my family through a myriad of legal issues such as wills and est...ates. Mr. Merrigan always provided carefully considered advice and he is always willing to listen to my ideas and concerns. David Merrigan's most admirable qualities as a lawyer are "honesty and integrity". I wholeheartedly and without any reservation recommend Mr. Merrigan.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
