Forrest George Merrill

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.

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.

My son needed a lawyer and after some research we retained Forrest Merrill of Mahwah, NJ. We were very impressed with his professionalism and knowledge. He always told us all of the consequences that could be incurred. He worked tirelessly on my son’s case. Mr. Merrill always emailed an an...swer to any questions, in a timely manner, and was very through in his background research. I would recommend Mr. Merrill to my family and friends who needed a knowledgeable lawyer, without hesitation. My family is very grateful to Mr. Merrill as he helped us in a traumatic time in our time of legal need

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.
