I believe in having strong personal connections with my clients. I am best able to advocate on my client's behalf when I understand the frustration and concern that my clients have that drives them to seek out an attorney in the first place.
Although practicing law is my profession, it is the type of job that when done correctly truly makes a difference in people's lives. That opportunity and challenge is why I became a lawyer. As your lawyer, I am responsible for protecting your liberty, property, and other rights. It is a responsibility I don't take lightly.
When I am in a courtroom, I make arguments on my clients' behalf that are logical, clear, and concise, but also passionate when necessary. Some good lawyers know the law. Some good lawyers know how to communicate with people. Great lawyers do both.

Dedicated and persuasive
Alex Merritt has recent experience as an ADA in Dekalb County, so he knows how that system works and what point of view an ADA for Dekalb County will have. He is persistent and persuasive. He got all my charges dropped without a hearing within a month of hiring him, when my previous attorney did not ...
