Rick Rocks!

I have not met Rick but he represented my son on some very serious charges, I was upset, mouthy, and not too trusting because of the legal system. Rick was professional and never took anything I said to him personal. I am very humbled and appreciative for everything he did for my family. There is NOT...HING like a mother's love. Thank you so very much and plz forgive my over bearing attitude during that stressful time. Rick Rocks!

The Best Criminal Attorney who will fight for you!

Mr. Mercure is very professional and knowledgeable for anyone seeking legal representation on criminal charges. I truly felt like a valued client and each time he followed up with me if I reached out to him by phone calls and/or emails always communicating to me within minutes. I was always kept ...up to date on all aspects of my case and I could have never received the sentence I did without his professional representation. He always managed to take the time to explain any intricate legal issues patiently with me. He is very honest and he will fight for you. I would highly recommend Mr. Mercure to anyone that needs a top notch attorney on any criminal charge. I will always feel that God blessed me when I found Mr. Mercure and I have already referred him to someone who asked me about an attorney that is the best. I will always continue to be so grateful for his incredible representation and please do not hesitate to waste your time on others who will not fight for you.

Great outcome

I've been represented by several attorneys throughout the years. By far, Rick Mercure is the best. When I was arrested with a new drug charge, I had two prior drug felonies. RIck got me the best outcome I can possibly imagine. 2 years probation , with less than 30 days jail. Thank you Rick Mercure!
