Superb Case Management

Even though my charges weren't to severe, I wanted to ensure the best outcome. It took a few years for everything to materialize in the court system, and from start to finish Alex presented me with all the angles and options, and allowed me to arrive at the best outcome. Actually, the outcome turne...d out to be even better than the good deal that was on the table. So, well done sir, well done. Prices reasonable as well.

Great, patient lawyer who kept me informed every step of the way

Alex was an extremely knowledgeable, patient lawyer who constantly kept me updated with my case. His expertise of the legal system and ability to explain it to me in non-lawyer terms was very helpful and comforting that my case would get a positive outcome, which it did! I was able to reach him any t...ime I had questions, and he always thoroughly answered them. He also researched my case and options, and then helped me choose the best course of action. I would absolutely recommend Alex and his firm to anyone in the Atlanta area who needs legal advisement.

Dependable and Great Lawyer

I would highly recommend Mr. Alex Merritt. He helped me and my wife through a hard time in our life by providing strength and confidence with our criminal case which was a misunderstanding with the authorities. He is knowledgeable about the law and worked with the prosecutor to have the charges dro...pped. He even helped answer questions to our employers during background check to ease their doubts. Always gets back to your questions via email or phone and kept us updated throughout the process. Very professional.

Helpful, Knowledgable, and Compassionate

I hired Alex to help me with a personal injury case resulting from a car accident I was in late last year. Alex was attentive and professional - always personally returning my calls when I had questions about my case. This type of personal attention is sadly rare in the legal field, but it really mak...es all the difference. I hope I don't have much use for a lawyer in the future, but if I ever need one - I would gladly hire Alex Merritt again.

Case closed!

I contacted Alex with what could have been a huge headache for me. From the start I could tell that I had made the right call. Alex assessed the situation, took control and updated me at every step. He was confident and forthcoming and I felt he had my best interest in mind. It was a pleasure to work... with him and I would recommend him to anyone.
