Very satisfied

Mary took care of our eviction quickly and got the results we were looking for. I had heard nightmares about evictions dragging on forever; she had them in court within maybe 2 weeks and out shortly after that. She was always available and answered all of my questions. She also handled everything fo...r us, so that we were not inconvenienced. I felt that the price was fair and the results exactly what we wanted.

Bad overall experience !

Did not like the overal experience with this attorney at all . It was hard to get in touch with her . Before the hire date it was no problem , but as soon as she was hired it was a nightmare . Everything that was stated prior the hire date was total opposite once the case started . The whole case was... a total nightmare from the beging to the end . I would do my diligence extra carefully , and spend more money if you want the job done well . Woul not recommend her to anyone !!

Although I strongly stand by the abilities I posses as an attorney, it's unfortunately unrealistic for any lawyer to meet all expectations in the occasional circumstances of excessive demands. In each case, my highest priority will continuously be to provide quality representation in the best interest of my client. In response to this particular anonymous client, I reviewed all calls received in the month of August and all were returned in a timely manner. If there is a perceived problem I would encourage any of my clients to speak with me directly. It remains my ultimate goal to protect my clients' rights and represent them to the best of my ability.

Truly Exceptional

Hearing numerous horror stories over the years from friends and family of their experience with lawyers, I'll admit my opinion of this profession was extremely negative. I felt they were nothing more than insensitive, greedy vultures. That being said, I couldn't begin to explain how happy I was when ...Mary Merz proved me wrong. From our first conversation, she went above and beyond to discuss and explain all the options moving forward with my legal issue. As her client, I felt completely comfortable calling her when I had questions, if I needed advice and even when I was stressed out or overwhelmed. She made sure she was available regardless if it was a weekend or late at night. Not once did I feel like an annoyance or as if I was taken advantage of. Her fees are the fairest I've ever come across and a fraction of what I was quoted from other lawyers. From start to finish, Mary continued to prove her genuine character and admirable work ethic. I'll have no hesitation recommending her to anyone in need of a lawyer in the future.

News and Prelim Consult

Ms. Merz is the attorney of my late brother and widow. I relayed to her my brother's recent demise. I also consulted with her about my other brother's potential foreclosure on his condo, his marital woes and possible divorce. Her recommendations are well taken.
