Review Meryl Chambers

Meryl Chambers was able to negotiate an extraordinary deal on my case.

Posted by

I was represented by Meryl Chambers for a criminal case against me that, if I were prosecuted for, would have been greatly detrimental to my personal and social life, as well as likely my mental health. I hired them because I had a free consultation with Ms. Chambers and was blown away by how approachable she was. I really liked how she took the time to answer all of my questions thoroughly, and her friendly demeanor made me feel that she took a very personable approach to her work, which was invaluable to me considering I was very embarrassed, overwhelmed, and terrified about my legal situation. I ended up going against my gut and hired another lawyer initially, for other reasons I thought made sense at the time. I was so uncomfortable with the way this other lawyer communicated with me that I ended up forfeiting my payment to him to go back and hire Eisner & Gorin, LLP. It was the right thing to do because Ms. Chambers worked diligently on my case, were readily available at all hours of the day, and communicated clearly to me every step of the process. She gave me such confidence that I was finally able to sleep at night knowing that they truly had my best interest in mind, and wouldn't settle for anything less than the results we all agreed were favorable. However, the firm was able to negotiate a deal for me that was beyond favorable and was actually extraordinary. I couldn't even have dreamed to walk away with anything near as good as the deal I was gifted, and I will forever be grateful for their efforts to make it happen. I truly felt I got a new lease on life because of them. I know my review sounds like hyperbole, but hyperbole is the only justifiable way to describe the experience.

Amazing Criminal Defense Lawyer / Mediator

Posted by

I am a novice to the legal system and was thrown into it by some scammers. I became pretty disillusioned by the first lawyer I hired and by the legal system that did not seem to protect people from being scammed. The whole process made me feel frustrated, angry, and helpless. A trusted friend recommended that I switch to Meryl Chambers and the firm that she's a part of, Eisner & Gorin LLP. It was the best decision I ever made! Meryl was incredibly professional, friendly, and for the first time I felt like someone was looking out for my best interests. She took the time to meet with me, update me by email and phone often, and explain every part of the process to me in a way that a layperson could understand. She advised me on the best course of action and really fought for me. She worked very hard to mediate my case with the DA and the other party's attorney, who had made the whole process incredibly hard from the get go. Miraculously she got the other party to settle, for the judge to dismiss the case so we didn't have to go to trial, and kept my record clean! The only thing I wish was to have hired Meryl from the beginning. I have a feeling that this madness would have been over so much earlier. If you need an amazing negotiator, advocate, and someone you can trust to give you advice, Meryl Chambers is the one to go to. I am wholeheartedly recommending her to friends, family, and anyone who needs a great criminal defense attorney on their side. Thanks Meryl, you're the best!

This lawyer goes above and beyond for her clients. My case was dropped after 18 months in court because of her efforts. Recommend her highly at Eisner Gorin.

Great Attorney

Posted by

Meryl was a great attorney for me. She was empathetic and forthright - making sure that I felt comfortable, but also being honest with me about how things could progress in my situation. Ultimately, no charges were filed against me, and I feel that was due to Meryl's work on my case.

I highly recommend Meryl

I was charged with a felony and Meryl was able to reduce it to NO charges and my case was basically dropped. Meryl is very professional and knowledgeable and very easy and pleasant to work with. She was also very caring and compassionate towards me in my time of need. I highly recommend her!

A True Lifesaver...

Posted by

I cannot say enough good things about Meryl Chambers and her firm. From Noreen, the office manager, to Dmitry Gorin, a managing partner, I was treated with utmost respect and the issues of my son's arrest were addressed as if we were their only client. I received their undivided attention during my (free) consultation, which took some considerable time, and I felt so confident with Meryl and their team that I hired her that day. Meryl was always available to answer my questions and concerns and was on top of my son's case as if he was her most important client. I never felt uninformed or unimportant thru the entire process. My son was very fortunate that his case did not go beyond arraignment, but if he had gone to trial I'm confident that Meryl and her team would have gotten him the best results possible. It's very scary having a loved one charged with a felony, but if you should find yourself needing a criminal attorney you cannot find better representation than Meryl Chambers.

Exceptional

Posted by

Simply put, the world would be a much better place, if more professionals approached their work with the intensity, thoroughness, and respect that Meryl does. I used to think that anyone who needed a defense attorney must have been guilty of something, until that “anyone” was me. My entire life turned upside-down when I learned that I was the subject of an investigation. I have never been through anything as convoluted, unfair, or downright scary. I selected Eisner-Gorin because of their outstanding credentials. Top-tier attorneys have a lot of clients and cases that they juggle. But from the very beginning, I never felt like I was just another case. That is true of my experience with the entire firm, but most especially with Meryl. She always took the time to make sure I was alright. She seemed to know that every day I was going to have new questions, and she never failed to make me feel like each of them was important to her. In each conversation with her, I felt more confident that she understood exactly how to approach my case, and that she had a plan to ensure success. I’m very thankful to have been represented by Eisner-Gorin, and even more thankful to have worked with Meryl. She made a very positive difference in my life.

Excellent Choice

Posted by

I contacted Ms. Chambers after recieving a ticket for a fake id. She was incredibly helpful and kept me in the loop throughout the entire process. In the end she was able to find a resolution which would not show up on my record and would not require the suspension of my license. Hiring Meryl Chambers was by far the best decision I made.
