To all the haters out there

I read the reviews section and I have a problem with the negative reviews. Firstly, I am a retired federal LEO having served for 23 years. Secondly, having been a LEO I have no love for defense counsels but it comes with the territory. Lastly, I have no dog in the fight as I've never met or retain...ed Ms Merchant. With that being said, if you have a low opinion of Ms Merchant provide facts supporting your opinion. Mere words are not facts. Opinions and beliefs are not facts. Opinions and beliefs change. Facts don't. Simply making a statement does not make the statement true. I've been in court countless times as both a witness and gallery observer. I've also watched Ms Merchant in court, Re: Fani Willis. I've observed numerous prosecutors and defense counsels in action from 1975 to the present and, truth be told, Ms Merchant is in the top 5%. I enjoy attending sporting events but if I had a choice between fourth row seats on the 50 yard line watching tOSU Buckeyes play or watch Ms Merchant in court, it would be a toss up.

Vigorous defence

Like many in the world we have been watching a vigorous defence of a client. Love or hate this attorney and her husband you have to admire the commitment to the law, the research, the finding of case law that supports the defence argument and being prepared with case law that does not. Be honest, ...a part of the negativity towards these attorneys is wishing they were Mr. Wade's and DA Willis' attorney. Mrs. Merchant explains the law so very well I can see why she is so successful. The jurors of other cases must have felt very educated and confident on their decisions.

Absolutely stunning!

Ashleigh is clearly a star in the courtroom. Her demeanor and simple presence alone commanded the respect of everyone in the room. I had been battling two separate felony cases from 2016, that would otherwise have closed and left me with felonies on my record had I not chosen to fight back. I had alr...eady taken two separate plea deals and had almost no chance of coming away with a clean record. Thanks to Mrs. Merchant I can say I'm finally done and happy with the results. She is very smart, and always knows what to say. Both the judge and the DA seemed out-matched by her wittiness. She always had an answer to any potential problem that arose and it was always the right one ! I can’t say thank you enough! If you’re in need of “the big guns” Ashleigh Merchant is who you should call!

Best lawyer ever!!

I hired Ashley to defend my husband in a serious case. Hiring Ashley has been the best decision we could have ever made. She is very knowledgeable, very devoted and always keeps me up to date with what is going on with my husbands case. She is literally available to you 24/7. Ashley is so kind and ca...ring and treats you like you are family. She is so easy to talk to and always makes me feel so comfortable and eases my mind . She will go above and beyond to fight for you. We are very blessed to have Ashley fight for my husband. She is most definitely the best lawyer ever. I highly highly recommend her to anyone that is in need of an attorney. Best lawyer ever !!
