Integrity, Honor, and Unwavering Support

I cannot recommend Merrill Gordon highly enough. He represented me in a highly contentious and complex divorce case in Oakland County involving difficult financial and sensitive child support / custody issues. I still retain Merrill Gordon for representation for various issues as they arise. This ...was a 'tough case' in every sense of the word – dealing with high-stakes custody emergencies, financial audits, discovery disputes and sensitive medical and educational disputes. Merrill has stuck by me with absolute integrity and honor throughout the entire process. Merrill understands the nuances of the law and fights for what is right. If you are looking for an attorney who will stand by you for the long haul and handle your case with the utmost professionalism and care, Merrill Gordon is the attorney you want in your corner.

Thankful for Merrill

Merrill Gordon is an excellent attorney who truly goes above and beyond for his clients. He represented me in my divorce and later for parenting time issues. Merrill is professional, patient, thorough, and prompt to answer all questions and concerns. I really appreciated Merrill's no-nonsense style,... he will tell you like it is and work hard to get you the results you want. I'm thankful for his representation and highly recommend for all family law matters!

Merrill Gordon gets the job done

Hiring Mr. Gordon was the best choice I could’ve made. In the beginning of my divorce situation I had a different attorney. It was not a good experience in the least. When issues with Friend of the Court came up, it was Mr. Gordon who worked hard to successfully help me! I would recommend him to anyo...ne that needs a competent and knowledgeable lawyer

Excellent Attorney, Excellent Person

I couldn't have been more please with the way Merrill handled my case. He was very attentive, responsive, and made every attempt to guide my case to its proper resolution. I was very fortunate to have him as my attorney.

Merrill was fantastic

From day one, Merrill exhibited the utmost professional performance as my divorce attorney. In stark contrast to my ex's attorney, he set very clear and realistic expectations of what was to come. He vigorously advocated for the outcomes that I believed were fair and just. He is an excellent commu...nicator, and I felt very aware of everything that I needed to do, every step of the way. I will surely refer him to anyone that ever asks.

"I highly recommend Merrill. Merrill is an extremely knowledgeable attorney who is confident both in and out of the courtroom. He takes the time to understand clients and their situations so that he can make the best recommendations for them in their lives. Merrill knows how to cater his services to each unique client because he truly understands that no two divorces are ever the same. He treats everyone with the utmost respect, but definitely knows the law to protect his clients and steer them in the right direction through the entire process. He is able to assist clients in being realistic with their situations and expectations. He is also a wonderful father and his personal experience of being a strong family man helps him truly understand the significance of so many family issues. If my family member or friend were going through a divorce, I would definitely recommend that they give Merrill a call."
