also known as Mercer Law
I focus 100% of my practice on criminal defense, particularly in Harris County and the surrounding counties of Texas. Criminal defense is a field of law that is particularly interesting to me because of its significance to the everyday life of United States citizens. Criminal defense lawyers represent the blockade between an encroaching government and the privacy of the people living under its rule. I take pride in defending the rights and liberties of my fellow Texans, and I will stand firm and aggressive in the face of those who seek to encroach upon those rights.

First time misdemeanor
Being a first time offender for a misdemeanor charge was very worrying. I have never been in trouble before and was very nervous and anxious of the whole situation. Once I received my court date, I automatically went online to look for a lawyer for my theft charge. Micheal Mercer was one of the first...

Pro Even Through Disaster
Michael managed to get my felony THC case dismissed during the aftermath of hurricane Harvey. The DA didn't want to dismiss, but Michael was prepared to fight the charges with me and had compiled enough evidence to scare the prosecution off. Michael was extremely easy to work with. He is att...

Contacted, consultations given, and hiring of Michael Mercer and his team.

"Being easy to work with yet being a zealous advocate is a difficult balance to strike. I have known Michael from my time as a prosecutor to my time as a defense lawyer, and he does a fantastic job at striking that balance. This combination means that he gets great results for his clients. I have no hesitation in endorsing Michael, and I have actually referred potential clients to him. I do that because I have the utmost confidence that he will do an excellent job for them."
"Michael Mercer is a beast in the courtroom. I recommend Michael for both misdemeanors and serious felonies alike, as he gives all of his cases his utmost attention. His drive and tenacity make him an excellent criminal defense lawyer. Nobody can say that a prosecutor has outworked Michael on a case. It is no wonder that he always obtains excellent results for his clients."
"I strongly endorse Mr. Mercer as a highly skilled criminal defense lawyer. I have worked closely with Mr. Mercer on a number of criminal cases and would recommend him to anyone I know. He has true passion for the people he represents and has a proven track record of success in Harris County."
"Michael Mercer is an energetic, hard working attorney who is a rising star amongst criminal defense lawyers in Harris County. I have watched the great work ethic he puts forward in all his cases. He has been very successful in contested hearings at the courthouse and I highly recommend him to anyone obtaining an attorney."
"I am pleased to endorse attorney Mike Mercer. I watched him grow up to become a fine young man and achieve his dream of becoming a trial lawyer. He is truly a rising star who no doubt will distinguish himself as an outstanding advocate in the course of his career. He cares about his clients and is relentless in the courtroom. He practices with and is mentored by one the best lawyers I have have ever seen in the courtroom--John "Casey" Keirnen. You would do well to consider Mike if you need help with a criminal law matter."
