Horrible lawyer

I was a client for Merritt back in 2010 and he drugged my case out till the summer of 2012 and did absolutely nothing for me. Pleas guilty on my behalf and I blew a .08, he did not whatsoever try to fight for me and stole $1500 dollars from me basically.

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.
