When integrity matters.

I would like to say thank you to Mr. Joshua Mermis and Ms. Koby of West-Mermis, PLLC. They are both professional and knowledgeable in all aspects. It is always daunting to need an attorney when dealing with business matters. I am pleased that West-Mermis took the time to listen to our concerns, ...and then offer sound advice. If you are in need of legal advice or services please give them a call, you'll be glad you did. Thank you for your time. Averon Construction, LLC.

West-Mermis provides excellent representation for property issues.

Our firm has hired Joshua Mermis and West Mermis on various real estate and business disputes. He expedites claim resolution on small matters, keeping an eye on the value to the client. He also represented us on a larger matter, through jury trial, where his and his team's preparation, diligence, and... skill resulted in trial victory, including an award of attorney fees. If you have a business dispute, especially in construction or real estate, hire Joshua Mermis and West Mermis. You won't be disappointed with your choice of representation.

attorney and business partner

Joshua Mermis cares about us and our business. He understands that by helping us be successful, he'll be successful. He gives us good solid advice, even when it may not mean more business for him. This means we can trust him to do what is in our best interests. He is quick to respond, unlike our ...experience with most attorneys. He does his homework instead of just throwing out an answer. We'd recommend Joshua to any company looking for a business partner/attorney.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • 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.
