Great long time attorney

Forrest has been our entire family attorney for over 25 years. We have used his services for home closings, probate of wills, estate set up, and other various legal affairs. He is very reasonable and always explains things in layman’s terms. I’d recommend Forrest to anyone seeking consultation on a ...wide array of legal situations.

HIRING FORREST WILL BE THE BEST DECISION YOU MAKE FOR YOUR CASE!

We hired Forrest to defend us for a possession and paraphanalia charge, in two separate towns. Forrest knows this area of law inside and out and is extremely well liked and well respected by not only his colleagues, but by the judges. He has a kind, yet direct and insightful way about him. He is o...ut for his client's best interest only, is an excellent negotiator and knows how far to go, in filing motions etc. to achieve the best outcome. Finally, his prices are fair and upfront. Forrest will not disappoint you and you will not achieve a better overall outcome with any other attorney. We highly recommend Forrest Merrill.

Traffic

Forrest was available whenever I needed him. He responded to my emails quickly. He answered all of my questions and was able to get me a favorable outcome for my traffic violation He was well known in the municipality court that we went to. I believe that his relationships had helped in obtaining a ...very good outcome. I highly recommend him.

  • 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.
