No communication

He does not return calls or emails, zero communication for 2 months. My case should already be completed but I haven't heard from him to finish the filing.

Great Lawyer

My Lawyer made everything thing look easy! Took care of my divorce swiftly and even lowered my child support after being overcharged for years. Thank you mr Mercado!

Not impressed

Mr Mercado was hired for a child support case and did not have his clients best interest. Constantly had to call and email his office for responses When I did get a response, it was a request for information that I had already sent. Horrible experience and I have no choice but to continue with thi...s case as it has been going on for a year with no resolution. I would not recommend this attorney.

Friendly and Helpful

My husband and I decided to have him legally adopt my daughter at her request. It was a long time coming and we wanted to get it done as quick as possible. We contacted the Dossman & Mercado Law firm and set up a meeting. They were prompt and walked us through each step and explained what to expec...t. We were able to complete the adoption before my daughter's 11th birthday which was out goal. If we should ever need any other family law representation this office would be the first one we would call. Thank you so much for helping us legally complete our family.

Alejandro Mercado wasn't referred by anyone and took my chances. And his firm was prefect in handling my case, I was mostly out of town working and because his assistant Janie who was very patient with me, calming me down and explaining all the changes that were according so not to panic. I rea...lly appreciated the way it ended also with her explaining the guidelines I have to follow in order to complete this process, Thank You Again

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. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
