I was falsely accused and pushed into a complex legal storm by someone I once trusted. I was emotionally drained, blindsided, and unsure of where to turn. That’s when I found Armen — and it’s one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. From day one, Armen treated me with dignity, honesty, and strate...

Armen is an incredible attorney. He was very specific and diligent with our case. I greatly valued his “hands on” approach as he would take my call/text at anytime and responded to our “case emergencies” (i.e. when we as the client messed up and needed Armen’s help) quickly and resolved the situation...

This lawyer was hands down the easiest to work with, best lawyer I have the pleasure of working with. He was very kind, responded promptly to all of my questions and even made it easier for me to attend court because of the easy schedule and prior heads up. 10/10 would hire this lawyer if I opened a ...

I can't recommend Armen enough. He is passionate and persistent when it comes to justice for his clients, and his communication is unsurpassed. If you ever find yourself in need of a lawyer that will truly fight for your interests and your well-being, one that is willing to go the extra mile day in...
"I endorse this lawyer. Armen is one hell of a lawyer. A true fighter and someone you would want on your side if you were in trouble with the law. He truly is respected in and around the Fort Bend Courthouse and he is always there to help. Highly recommend."
"Armen Merjanian has proven to be an effective and passionate attorney for his criminal defense clients. I am happy to endorse him for his work throughout Texas."
"Mr. Merjanian is a sharp, hardworking and dedicated criminal defense attorney. I have personally seen him fight tirelessly for his clients, reaching impressive outcomes for them. Anyone who finds themselves in the unfortunate position of being charged with a criminal offense would be lucky to have Armen fighting for them."
"Armen second chaired a trial with me and provided valuable insight during the jury selection and throughout the entire trial. He was integral to the effort to get my client acquitted."
"Armen is an "up and coming" lawyer who is already making his mark on the criminal defense bar. I was lucky to have him assigned to me to mentor through a program he joined to enhance his skills - shows that he cares enough to put in the time to be the lawyer to hire.... Armen has prepared cases with me and gone to trial with me, and been a huge asset in each case on which he assisted. Moreover, Armen is already handling his own full docket and, based on the questions he has brought to me and information he has imparted in discussing his cases, he has a great understanding of what it takes to win for his clients. He is tenacious and not afraid of teaching lessons to prosecutors who do not listen or properly prepare. I completely endorse Armen."
"Armen is a dedicated and dynamic criminal defense lawyer. He is hard working, and committed to client-centered representation. I was luck enough to train with Armen at Gideon's Promise and I regularly witness his consistent efforts for his clients. I endorse this lawyer."
"I endorse this lawyer. Armen is a warrior who who is 110% committed to providing his clients with the best defense possible. He is truly passionate about being a defense attorney an will leave no stone unturned in the fight to clear his client's name."
"Armen is an outstanding lawyer with a fighting spirit and a quick mind. Nobody cares more about his clients than Armen Merjanian."
"Armen is a passionate, hard-working attorney who I consider a friend. Armen is relentless in his pursuit of justice for his clients, and he never backs down from a fight. Most importantly, Armen brings home incredible results for his clients. I endorse this lawyer."
"I can't say enough about what a great lawyer this guy is. Even if your case seems unbeatable, he'll find new and creative ways to get them dismissed. Anyone is lucky to hire him. I endorse him fully."
"Armen is not only one of the best trained lawyers in town, but he is also extremely likable. I recently tried a case with Armen. He didn't know much about the case but helped me pick the jury. His energy was infectious, he got great responses, and was all around amazing during jury selection. Although we did get a verdict because we won a motion to suppress, I know we had a great jury thanks in part to Armen's skill and personality. I endorse this lawyer."
"Armen sat 2nd chair with me on a trial I had last year. Without Armen, my client would have lost that case. We were trying a possession of marijuana case to the jury and at the same time, were trying to get the judge to toss the evidence because it was illegally obtained by the authorities. I thought I had given the judge all the testimony she needed, but she told us she wasn't going to grant the suppression motion. Armen suggested putting my client on the stand to testify. I am always reluctant to put my client on the stand in a criminal case. I reluctantly gave the reins to Armen. Armen prepped my client to testify and effectively assisted me in getting the right testimony out of my client. The Judge then granted the Motion to Suppress. Armen knew the law, knew the Judge and what she wanted. After that day I have a new respect for Armen. He has the respect of the Attorneys at the courthouse and of the Judges. His abilities are proven and solid."
