Mervin Stanley Sharfman

I am a single mother with 3 daughters. I paid Mr. Sharfman thousands of dollars and the end result was that I receive no child support and my ex-husband gets to claim my daughter as a dependent on his taxes every other year even though he doesn't give her a nickel. I just recently contacted child s...upport and they agree that this is not right. He acted like he was totally iintimadated by the other attorney and gave me nothing, but bad advice. I would have been better off with no attorney at all.

Mervin represented my son and other friends and family members that I referred to him and everyone had nothing but good things to say about him. He does like to talk alot but is great in court and gets reasonable results. He won't promise the moon - he knows the law and what he can and can't do and... is always honest and up front. As far as being prepared for a case, he is the most detail oriented attorney I've ever met, and I know a lot of them. Your final paperwork spells everything out, so there are no problems in the future. Great attorney whom I would and have recommended over and over.

Merv Sharfman agreed to represent me in a child custody case over 20 years ago. As a young mother of two children, My visit to Merv followed a ' cold call' in desperate circumstances. He was truly interested in achieving the best outcome for me given the challenges that I faced. I was confident in hi...s ability to give his best . I trusted him fully and was pleased with the end result. His dedication,frankness and ability will be forever etched in my mind as a critical incident that positively impacted my future.

Merv was a great attorney. He was very informative. He never sugarcoated anything, so if you are looking for an attorney to tell you want you want to hear, forget it. Merv will tell you like it is. He always kept the other attorney's in the case moving. His office always drafted the necessary paperwo...rk in order to get the other parties to sign the paperwork as fast as possible. When I would speak with friends about our case and the things we had to deal with, they would always say, "I hope you don't have to go up against Merv Sharfman, he is tough." I would then reply with, "Merv is OUR attorney." they would then say, you are lucky, he is best. We continue to contact him regarding the case because what we currently have is Temporary Custody and our future goal it to gain full custody and eventually adopt. MERV is the best! He may talk a lot and sometimes take a while in the conversation to give you your answer, but he always gives it to you. I recommend him to all my friends that need an attorney for custody or family law.
