Do yourself a favor and Hire Michelle Mearson plain and simple.
After an eventful night out I found myself in need of an Attorney. Thank God I found Michelle Mearson and her amazing Team. Michelle explained what she would do, how she would do it, and applicable timelines in doing so. Michelle and her Team were there every step of the way 7 days a week to ensure I was was taken care of with outstanding representation. Please do yourself a favor and contact Michelle Mearson for your Legal needs. You'll sleep better at night, I know I did.
I can’t thank michelle and everyone at misdemeanor clinic for all the help with my case. They made sure they got me exactly what I asked for. They also were very hardworking and worked out court dates around my work schedule so it would make me miss work. I’m an very please and highly recommend them for any of your future court case needs.
Thanks

Michelle Merson, Esq. graduated from Nova Southeastern University School of Law in 1992. After working side by side with a prominent criminal defense attorney for 12 years on every type of criminal felony and misdemeanor cases, Michelle decided Misdemeanor crimes needed to be the focus of her practice. Misdemeanors and only misdemeanors. Why? “My experience has shown me that misdemeanor cases are routinely not given the priority they deserve,” Michelle explains. “I feel a need to provide these often forgotten clients with a high level of personal service and attention.”
Because she realizes that a person charged with a misdemeanor is just as scared as a person charged with a felony, Michelle treats each misdemeanor case with the utmost importance.
“I am committed to taking great care of each of my clients,” Michelle says. “I grew up in the South, and I was taught to value compassion, respect, and taking the time to listen to others. I bring those values to bear on my relationships with my clients and I do my best to keep out of the press and fly under the radar with my clients.”
Though the majority of her cases are in Palm Beach, Broward, and Dade Counties where she has significant relationships with judges and prosecutors, she has also effectively represented clients in other Florida counties with favorable resolutions. Michelle strives for instant accessibility 24 hours a day, 7 days a week – if she is not available immediately, she makes every effort to return calls the same day.

Excellent attorney!
Michelle represented me at a a very dark time in my life. I was pulled over and given a DUI. I thought my life was over, poof in the blink of an eye. I quickly called Michelle, and she held my hand every step of the way. She has always been available when I needed her, she always had my back.
Michelle believes that her clients are her family!

Making the best of a bad day
Michelle is the gal you want in your corner come an unforeseen bad day. As much as I can say I've had the pleasure to meet her, I only wish it wasn't in this fashion.
I truly believe in Michelle's relationships, talent, and ability to make the most of out of your bad day. She has proven herself from start to finish to be there for me as a client. Michelle has taken my professional aspirations and goals into account while negotiating with the state and the court. She and her team have been there for every question, concern, and even just to lend an ear.
Over the course of my ordeal, Michelle has managed to down file the case and get this to a point of Nolle Prossed by jumping through a couple of court-ordered hoops. I can confidently say I'm very pleased in working with her and her team. Michelle does everything in her power to gain ground and build offers (sealed case, plea and pass, and eventually a Nolle Prossed with community service) with the state. Michelle took the time to present the pros and cons of accepting each offer and helps guide you in an educated decision-making process.
As we wrap up my case she is being proactive about starting the expungement paperwork. I really believe when she says she honestly cares for her clients. She has tailored her services to meet my needs including getting mugshots removed from websites, talking to landlords, and ensuring my reputation can be completely restored.
I would highly suggest her services in your time of need.

Best in the Biz
I was in a bit of a pickle when I heard about Michelle. Getting a DUI is not the best thing to ever happen in my life but thank god for Michelle and her team. They made me feel calm and in charge of my outcome. She got me a reckless driving on a tough case that involved a lot time and commitment. She was always a text message away and helped settle my nerves during the almost 2 year battle with the courts. I am so glad I chose her!

Best representation possible. Michelle Merson is who you want to represent you.
Don't let her petite stature and southern charm fool you. Michelle provides strong, firm representation.
Michelle represented me at the most frightening time in my life. She was compassionate while providing me with expert legal advice and impeccable representation. I have comfortably and sincerely recommended her to both family and friends.

"Michelle Merson's AVVO answers prove that she is a highly skilled and experienced criminal defense lawyer, but if you take a moment to read her impressive resume then you'll know that she's an accomplished litigator. If you have a problem in or about the 561 involving "the 3 "c"'s" (i.e. cops, courts and constitutions), and if you hire Michelle Merson then you'll get a 4th "c" - confidence - for free."
