Un abogado confiable

Yo arregle mi situacion legal en este pais solo escuchando a este abogado por radio Wado...un tipo sincero y realista al cual agradezco mucho. Que Dios lo bendiga y proteja....pues hay pocos abogados con esas caracteristicas.

Landlord Tenant dispute

He is just the best of the best. I consulted with Dr. Meruelo regading a dispute that I had my my landlord and he explainted to me exacltly how to solve the case by myself. He is a straight shooter, he will tell you exaclty like it is. very well spoken in English and Also in Spanish. I listed hi...s radio for many years and I was always amazed the way he explained to the radio listeners what he called " El Tema del dia". Best of luck to him. Keep up the good work!

A lawyer that is honest, and you can depend on

I just finished a very long and complicated divorce. I had to lawyers before Mr. Meruelo handle my case and they could not resolve it in a satisfactory manner. However Mr. Meruelo worked tirelesly to finalize my case, and to do so in a manner that was acceptable to my. I would recomend this la...wyer without hesitation. I wish many more attorneys were like Mr. Meruelo

A lawyer of great integrity and competence

I recently consulted with Mr. Meruelo regarding a civil matter. He gave me straight forward answers and told me how to resolve my problem without having to incurr needless legal fees. Something that was very impressive since another attorney wanted to charge me an excessive amount of money for a... task that i was able to do myself. Best consultation fee that I have ever spent

A Lawyer that is not only competent but cares about his clients

I recently utilized the services of Mr. Meruelo to end a very difficult and contankerous divorce. His expertise in handleing difficult issues as well as his strategic grasp of the issue allowed me to finilized a divorce that had been pending for three years and in which I had used two other lawyers... without success. Mr. Meruelo is the best and I would recomend him without hesitation
