Brandon D. Merritt

After receiving a phone call from my daughter at Penn State saying that she was cited for underage drinking we had no idea what to do. We read reviews on different lawyers in the Penn State area and Brandon Merritt from JD Law had the best reviews from more than one source. When you are far away from... your child you need someone that will take control of the situation as well as treat them with kindness and respect. We are so thrilled to have found Brandon who is indeed very professional, kind and caring. He explained to us the best way to handle this situation, and made us feel a lot better. He is a gentleman who works very hard for his clients. We surely give Brandon and his staff a five star review and would advise anyone in the same situation to call him; you will be happy if you do. Thanks Brandon

My underage daughter was recently cited for underage intoxication at State College. The citation brought to the fore two problems: how to work on our daughter's behavior, and how to minimize the legal impact of her mistake. I am in Maryland. I felt a local lawyer, familiar with the ways of th...e PA Courts, with experience with this particular charge would be appropriate. I found Mr. Merritt's firm and was assigned Mr. Merritt. I have a small business. I have had attorneys on retainer for almost 30 years. I have been sued. I have sued others. My retained attorneys are good, and I get very good legal counsel from them. However, Mr. Merritt exceeded my expectations on all counts. He quickly evaluated the case. Presented a course of action, with potential variability and alternative outcomes. He took immediate charge of the case, consulted us with every decision, and reached a settlement with the prosecution quickly. The deal he cut for my daughter was better than I expected. At each step in the process, Mr. Merritt's communication was clear, sensible and timely. Would I use him again? In a minute. Lastly, the fees charged are a relative bargain. First class legal counsel, without big-city prices. The best money I ever spent in Pennsylvania!
