Mercedes Ruth Wechsler

Just awful. She and her paralegal are rude and condescending. Like others said, you can rarely get past the paralegal (who has a criminal record by the way, under her legal name that she conveniently doesn't use unless she's notarizing something - Leyia is actually her middle name). Mercedes will dra...g things out needlessly so she can charge you left and right and never actually get anything done. I had to fire her and hire another attorney (who got everything done within months) then fight for the remainder of my retainer. Beware of any attorney who in her retainer agreement says you can't post anything negative about her. Now I know why!

My daughter called for a consultation , the paralegal who answered did not ensure she received her , free consultation with the attorney, but informed her she could help her if she didn’t have $5000.00 retainer , but to call her on her private line after work. Took $500 from her and tried to advisor ...that this was best for her situation. I had her contact an attorney who did provide her with her 15 minute free consultation , and informed her that a retainer of $2500 was needed an that she was not properly informed , when I informed ms. Mariana Davis of this she took offense and said she would refund only $300 for her time !! Hmm I would call this preying and an injustice. I would like to here from ms. Wechsler, if this is how she conducts business. I have never heard of this before, I believe I will contact another attorney myself or the BAR and ask this question.

Mercedes is an excellent attorney. Her knowledge and keen expertise about Law is outstanding. She is professional and efficient in all she do. In the most difficult time in my life Mercedes, Cecilia and Lea were the best team I could ever had, full of caring, compassion and support. They are one of ...a kind professionals. I highly recommend Mercedes and her Law Firm for those who are in need of legal service.

I typically don't write reviews although I felt I should share with others my personal experience if you are looking for a competent, knowledgeable and caring attorney, she is here in Orlando and her name is Mercedes Wechsler. I was recommend to see Mercedes after a failed collaboration experien...ce by my then current collaboration attorney. He pointed me towards her as a tough, fair, compassionate person that will take time to listen. Mercedes met with me within a day and discussed my situation and set real expectations for me right off the bat. I decided to retain her services to represent me against a completely unreasonable spouse and am extremely glad that I did. My divorce process took a little bit longer than four years and I can honestly say at times I wanted to quit, I wanted to give in, I wanted to scream and during that time Mercedes and her staff never wavered, always gave a sympathetic listening ear, and always held a true course. For that I will always be thankful. Mercedes billing and fees were more than fair for what she and her staff bring to the table and I never gave it a second thought. If you want someone that is beyond competent, fair, compassionate, and an ultimate warrior when it comes to you and your family you need not look any further than Mercedes and her excellent staff.

Had 50% custody before hiring Ruth Wechsler... After dropping 10k on this attorney; my entire life saving at the time! After my retainer was paid, was pressured me to signing paperwork releasing all custody, being 21, stupid and in love at the time. I seen no other options. I am now 27 years old an...d haven’t seen my son in 6 years... please do not make the same mistake I did, DO NOT HIRE!! Well not unless you wanna lose everything.
