Christopher Haaff, Family Attorney on Jun 21, 2017
Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter
I first met Mervate when she came into a contested child custody, visitation, and guardianship proceeding in which I was already involved. Frankly, her client stood little chance of prevailing before she came into the case, because the law and the facts did not favor him. Mervate gave her client the advice, both legal and factual, he needed to obtain much of the relief he wanted. I am certain her efforts led to the results obtained. Since then we have shared legal advice on a number of topics. I am always impressed by her preparation, experience and knowledge. I happily recommend that people consult and retain her.
