Forrest George Merrill

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.

Forrest helped me out with a dui case and was very detailed and thorough with the step by step events that went through during my arrest. In turn he picked out the few mistakes that the police officer had done and got my dui turned into a reckless driving. Saved my career and saved me thousands of do...llars in surcharges. Highly reccomended

Forrest was beyond exceptional with his communication and his determination to get the appropriate outcome for my case. He was always very easy to contact, and always responded back within a reasonable amount of time. Forrest dedicated himself for hours between reviewing the discovery from my case..., to discussing possible outcomes with the prosecutor, to advising me of the best and worst case scenarios. Forrest was able to get the best case scenario for me, without having to go to a trial. I would highly recommend Forrest to anyone.

I recently was pulled over on trumped up tickets that basically are so inconsistent they scream I needed a reason to pull you over. (Car freshener hanging on rear view/plates touching a letter on the border of license plate). I was coerced into giving consent to searching my trunk with no probable... cause...and facing a probationary program and loss of license for up to two years if not accepted and completed the probationary program. After giving me sound advice on every single option I had available to me, based on listening to my experience that night when I was essentially harassed by cops because I was just there, Forrest made his legal briefing to the court after filing a motion for suppression. Forrest was able to put together a briefing so profoundly demanding justice be done on my behalf...citing multiple previous high profile cases proving my rights had been violated based on the police report against me and these prior cases. His dossier on my behalf was so strong it convinced prosecution to abandon the hearing, as it was then a huge risk of a sergeant on their police force being exposed and behaving this way regularly. Forrest helped another time to exonerate me from serious charges of expired/no insurance/loss of license without my knowledge of it being so. He has many connections and is as representative in person as he is pointed in his knowledge of law. Can’t say enough about his professionalism, honesty, and down to earth personality. Look no further for any legal needs if you live in the metropolitan tri-state area, no matter the volatility.
