James W. Mertes

The Law Firm of Mertes and Mertes really helped my family through some rough times. The whole staff was awesome. Each case is assigned to a specific paralegal or legal assistant from the beginning. What this meant for me is that I always talked to the same person who always knew what was going on ...in my case. That means a lot when your whole future depends upon the outcome of the case. They explained things from the very start, and didn't make us feel stupid when we asked questions. I recommend them to everyone! This law firm is amazing!

Jim Mertes is a great lawyer. He has represented me twice now, and I have referred my family and friends to him. They have also been thrilled with him. You can actually see him in action by searching his name in youtube and watching his opening and closing arguments in a first degree murder trial.... After that three-week trial, his client was found not guilty of first degree murder in just 22 minutes! My case was not nearly as big as that case, but he treated it with just as much care and attention.

Please do not hire this lawyer , He is never right about anything , he was going to allow a man that was convicted for criminal sexual assault on a nine year old girl to testify against me in lee county court . The mans name is DAN Mccune from rockfalls Illinois . IT was a battery case that i was fig...hting when my girlfriend got hooked on drugs by a local drug dealer , to make a long story short i walked in on it and he did not fair very well . 911 was never called and he never saw a medical professional. I gave this James Mertes 7500.dollars cash and he with drew after almost 3 years of wasting my money . He wanted me to take a plea that i refused he got pissed i questioned his ability and he withdrew I FEEL VIOLATED
