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!

Divorce Attorney

Merrill Gordon represented me during my recent divorce proceeding. Needless to say, I was put through an extremely traumatic process by my spouse. An example was an instance early in the proceeding when a situation developed that prompted a late night call to Merrill's cell. His counsel was a...bsolutely correct and I was able to react accordingly. I found that Merrill was available to help 24/7 which was extremely important in my case. He is not a 9 - 5 lawyer. Another thing that I appreciated was his promptness in returning my calls and appearing on time for my court appearances. Also, I felt that his billing process was very fair. His billing statements were easy to read and very accurate. I would definitely recommend Merrill as a divorce attorney.

Divorce attorney

Merrill was my attorney for my divorce. It was a very difficult process. I really liked that Merrill did not make a bunch of empty promises to me for the sake of getting more hourly pay for himself. I felt he always tried to paint a realistic picture of what I was facing financially and did his be...st to minimize cost for me. He was always approachable and available and very prompt at returning calls and e-mails.

"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."

  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
