About Brandy
Biography
Criminal defense is my passion. Our practice is team-oriented and the only law we practice is criminal defense. This heightened focus on one specific area of law means staying up to date with changing case law, constructing creative defenses, and exhausting every possible avenue to defend my clients. As an officer of the Florida Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers and active member of organizations such as the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers, I stay up to date on current legal issues and continually expands upon my skills as an attorney.
As a client, you will have access to me personally. I will work with you and for you to ensure your goals are achieved. No one plans to hire a criminal defense attorney. My goals and the strategies that we have in place at Flaherty Defense Firm provide an aggressive approach that you need to fight for your freedom.

"Brandy and I had the opportunity to represent co-defendants in a case. Over the course of the case, I got to see her practice and advocate for her client. She did an excellent job."
"Ms. Merrifield is an absolutely amazing attorney. Her knowledge of the law is eclipsed only by her work ethic, and she never fails to provide the best possible defense to her clients. Her ability to think outside the box and her relentless effort in the courtroom place her among the best in the community for criminal defense. Ms. Merrifield should be the first call for anyone facing a criminal charge in the Florida panhandle, and I fully endorse her without reservation."
