Great Attorney that Genuinely Cares

Honestly, you can't and won't find better attorney than Jordan Merson. He, alongside his team, made one of the most horrific experiences a much easier process to live through. At our first meeting, I felt immediate relief due to the confidence that he displayed. His analytical ability and years of ex...perience enable him to provide thoughtful, and most importantly, practical legal advice that is easy to understand. I am so happy with the outcome of my case, It was way more than I envisioned and it's all thanks to him and his team. I highly commend his firm and I am forever grateful for having him on my side.

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.
