Excellent Lawyer

Brandon Merritt was an excellent lawyer. I received a public intoxication ticket while I was at a football tailgate. When I called Brandon Merritt for advice he was able to react quickly and he kept me informed with all communication. Once I hired Brandon to represent me, I no longer needed to wo...rry. Brandon took care of everything. In the end I was very happy with the outcome of my case and I would refer Brandon to anyone else that was put into my situation.

Review of Brandon D. Merritt

My son went for a college visit (he's from out of state) and had the unfortunate experience of being charged with underage drinking. Brandon was an enormous help and put our minds at ease from the first conversation thru the last. He explained the best options and what he could do to expedite clear...ing up the charges. He did everything as he had explained, along with being available any time for a phone call and reassurance. We had continuous contact from Brandon, keeping us up to date with where he was at and making sure we were informed. Absolutely the best lawyer we could have hoped for.

A summary of my time with Brandon

Last Fall, I was cited for disorderly conduct (public urination) in the State College Area. This was a worrisome time because this summary offense had the potential to stay on my record for five years. I would recommend Brandon instantly to any friends in the same situation because of the effort and ...consideration he put into my case. After telling him the details of the incident, Brandon did a great job of using non legal jargon to explain my options moving forward. There ended up being a three month gap between my citation and the eventual hearing. Throughout this period, Brandon regularly contacted me asking if I had any questions or to see how I was doing. After achieving the best possible outcome ( charge was dismissed), Brandon stayed after the hearing to make sure I understood the necessary steps to have the incident wiped over my record. In summary, Brandon is a very dedicated, very considerate and very good choice for representation.

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.
