Great Attorney

A friend recommended him for our nephew. We had spoken to several attorneys and he was the most expensive. What I liked about him was that he was very blunt - spoke his mind. For a minute there I thought he did not want us to hire him. We took a chance on him and were happy that we did. The case was ...dismissed. He gets angry quickly - but was knowledgable, easy to contact (always returned my calls) and got the job done. I keep his card in my wallet.

"Feroz Merchant is an outstanding lawyer and one of the most dedicated I have ever seen. As a prosecutor, he was tenacious, but fair. He brings to bear that same tenacity in representing his clients and, perhaps more importantly, genuinely cares about his clients and their causes.

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I had the privilege of meeting Mr. Merchant when I was a young Felony Prosecutor in Galveston County. Mr. Merchant had recently completed his tour with the Harris County DA's office and opened up his own practice. As we began to work on more and more cases against each other, I quickly learned how to be a professional lawyer by watching and interacting with Mr. Merchant. He is professional in how he valiantly represents his clients, and professional in how he interacts with his clients, colleagues, and the court."

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education

  • 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.
