Always thinking ahead....

I have had the opportunity to work with Mervyn for the past several years in several aspects of my cases (related to marriage and family law). Not only is Mervyn extremely knowledgeable in the space.....he also has a great network, and my favorite is that he is always thinking two steps ahead to e...liminate potential obstacles before they become issues. Would highly recommend Mervyn to represent you.!

Competent > Compassionate > Champion = The Honorable Counselor-At-Law

Immediately upon Mervyn Braude signing onto my case, my situation drastically changed direction, and justifiably, in my favor. In summary, Mervyn Braude is not only astutely thorough, he is stunningly responsive, was always on top of every aspect of my case, taking the lead on every point and iss...ue, from strategy setting to execution. Accordingly, all things considered, we achieved an outstanding result. Hence, of course, whenever in need, I will be calling Mervyn Braude first, as I did at the beginning of this life changing ordeal. There is plenty more to be said about Mervyn Braude and my direct experience with but I will far exceed the allowable character limit. For now, I duly share my Many Thanks to him for leading us to the finish line in World Class Champion form. With Respect, Admiration, and Gratitude. J.

Mervyn T. Braude

Very kind to me and empathetic to my concerns; very very patient in dealing with the other party resistance and encouraging about reaching a final solution. Understood my personal values and faith beliefs when resolving problems. Always rapid responses including after hours.

Complex

After almost 7 months and $60,000 wasted I fired my attorney who was absolutely horrible. Stressed and frustrated I was referred to Mervyn Braude. After meeting with him I felt much more at ease. Although the process was daunting Mervyn kept his word and was professional throughout the process. Anxio...us and unsure about the legal process Mervyn would counsel me on what motions needed to be filed and which ones were simply a waste of money. He actually cares about his clients and combine that with his vast experience I feel that the results (although no divorce process is fun) were the best that they could be. I would highly recommend both Mervyn and his firm. He was always available to me whether on the weekend or in the evening, whether it was something important or just to put my mind at ease. Most importantly when opposing counsel and judges see that Mervyn is involved they tended to take it far more seriously than with my previous attorney which led to a quicker and more professional resolution.

Knowledgable & Dependable

I made some previous bad decisions with past attorneys I hired. However Mr. Braude exceeded my expectation and helped me through a very difficult long-standing family court case. His experience showed in understanding of the law, strategy and knowing the system. He listed in my favorites if I am ev...er in need again.
