Lauren Ashley Merritt

I hired this attorney to resolve a somewhat complicated property title issue in which I was the co-owner of a condominium unit with a person who had been deceased for some time. All the parties, including this person's multiple heirs, were out of state from different states and the probate from his e...state had been done in yet another state. She was well aware of the steps that needed to be taken and walked me through the process so that it was all clear to me. And she and her staff (both of those who worked with me were excellent too, completely professional, yet friendly) were persistent, but not pushy, in getting the heirs to complete the paperwork. I am very happy with the choice that I made.

I was totally satisfied with the out come of my settlement . Lauren and her team kept me updated with the progress of my case until the end of the settlement. I appreciated their professional and courteous matter in which they explained and answered any questions I enquired of them. I highly reco...mmend them to any one needing their services!

Attorney Lauren Merritt is not your average attorney. She’s a compassionate, empathetic person who just happens to double as an attorney. From our very first interaction and throughout the entire probate process for my mom, Attorney Merritt has been absolutely amazing. Often times people will “sell” ...their service during the initial consultation; telling you just what they know you want to hear to get your business. Once they have you “locked” in, you’re often handed off to an assistant and never hearing from your attorney again. Here at Lauren Merritt Law Firm, you’re treated with dignity, and respect. This is already a difficult time in the lives of clients who seek her service, so the last thing you want is to feel as though you’re being taken advantage of as you embark on a very complicated and emotional journey of settling an estate. I can not think of one time where I reached out with a question or concern and did not receive a response. Not only does Attorney Merritt personally respond, she generally does so within a few hours, but never exceeding a day. All of this from a mom, with her youngest being under the age of one. This has been a challenging time for us as a family, but having Attorney Merritt at the helm of the legal matters has truly been a blessing. I’ll admit, in the beginning I thought “closing” out moms affairs would be as simple as reaching out to the utility company informing them of her passing. Pretty simple especially since mom didn’t have much. It goes without saying; I was wrong! There’s no way I would’ve been able to navigate the waters on my own. At every step, Attorney Merritt detailed what she was doing, and made sure I had a clear understanding and not once being condescending. Although I wish I didn’t need her service, I am thankful for the professional, affordable and compassionate service provided to us by Attorney Lauren Merritt.

It is very difficult as a client to sit and wait for the various filings, decisions, court pronouncements, etc while a case is pending. Lauren has always kept me updated on the status of my case and been forthcoming if she didn’t have an answer right away. Honesty and transparency are super important... when hiring an attorney. I found her to be both.
