Great lawyer

Merrill was hired as my lawyer for my divorce as well as for a PPO that was violated by the other party. Merrill was always available and made sure I knew exactly what to expect and when. He was always timely with appointments, documents, and court dates. I never felt as though I was "in the dark" wi...th him. Very glad to have his expertise during this time. Definitely recommend!

Highly Recommend Merrill Gordon Family Law

My wife file filed for divorce. I am happy to report that we have decided to dismiss the case and reconcile. As I searched for an attorney, a friend suggested that I consider Mr Gordon. Brief research revealed that he had excellent reviews. In our conversations he was very precise in his question...ing and advice. He made it clear to me exactly what I was facing and detailed options that were readily understood. He was upfront about his billing, providing a detailed monthly statement with a brief description, cost, and timestamp for each billable line item. Mr Gordon inspired my confidence impressing me as a very precise thinker who knows his business. I highly recommend Merrill Gordon to anyone in need of counsel in Family Law matters.

Top Notch Attorney

I have had Merrill handle matters for me and would recommend him to everyone. Not only is he competent he treats me as if I am his only client. He keeps me informed without drowning me in legalese. If you need an attorney to handle your divorce or other litigation in the area give him a call.

Car Accident/ Tickets - Professional & Effective

I was introduced to Merrill shortly after moving to Michigan and he was extremely helpful in the resolution of my case. I was grateful for how much he was able to help me understand the situation, receiving a constant update on where we were in the process, and then really coming through with a posi...tive resolution in a timely manor. Have suggested a few friends to him since then and would use again.

Recommend by my freind the Judge

My wife of 38 years filed for a divorce, but we remain friendly much to Merrill’s credit. In my profession I deal with a lot of attorneys, so finding a process to select representation for my divorce was tricky. I wanted someone who would listen to me in my effort to get a reasonable and fair settl...ement for us both – in spite of the fact that I saw my ex’s attorney as quite the opposite. So I sought the recommendation of an old friend who was a retired, highly respected judge and he offered three attorneys for consideration. Merrill was by far the most "in tuned" to the way I wanted my case handled. He clearly presented “the law” and the options I faced allowing me the decisions on how to proceed. We were able to get it done reasonably quickly, and my ex and I remain friendly…again much to Merrill’s credit.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"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."
