Steven Lee Merker

Steve expertly navigated my very contentious divorce. He had my best interest and that of my children in mind at all times. He was anticipatory, on task, easily accessible and compassionate. He maintained productivity and a calm demeanor even while enduring repeated personal threats and provocations.... Thank you for being a kind, capable calm in the storm of a difficult divorce.

I was referred to Steve Merker at the Men's Legal Center. I hired an attorney for a sense of assurance and relief, and instead I added to my list of problems by hiring him. For weeks, Steve Merker did no work on my case. I finally reached out to Steve and two weeks later did not hear back from h...im. I reached out again and still did not hear from him. I would not have ever heard back from him if I did not call and insist again and again. When you call to say that you did not hear back from Steve Merker and his paralegal they will charge you for the bother of contacting them. If Steve Merker reads a four line email he'll charge you $70 for this and will not respond to this email. When my ex spouse constantly called him and his paralegal, they continuously tried to charge me for that. When I disputed my bill and they agreed to give me a credit, they charged me for giving me that credit. Steve Merker tried to charge me for speaking with him on two occasions when I never spoke with him. This lawyer only demonstrates laziness, apathy and unscrupulous Do yourself a favor and look elsewhere.

Mr. Merker has been representing me since 2013. Mr, Merker is experienced, knowledgeable with the court system, custody. I highly recommend Mr. Merker as one of the best divorce attornies in San Diego. My divorce was finalized in 2012 and financially did not get much settlement, because I hire...d an attorney who overcharged and did not care. Ex-took me back to court to fighting for full custody of children until 2015. Mr. I hired Mr. Merker, and he won the court trials which lasted two years with evidence and facts. We worked as a team; I respect his character, honesty, and knowledge of the judicial system, he supported me with wisdom dealing ex and hurting children. If you are looking for an attorney who is honest and can trust, let Mr. Merker represent your case.

I had to fight for my rights and nudge him to deliver my requests to the judge. Even though I brought my findings to him, it seemed that in some cases he wanted not to disclose that info. As I hired him to be my divorce lawyer, I felt that he also wanted what's best for the ex. I felt like I had a 3/...4 lawyer working for me and my ex had a lawyer 1-1/2 working for her. If mr. Merker wants to have compassion for his clients divorcing partners, he shouldn't be a divorce lawyer. I believe that had I hired my ex's lawyer the outcome would have been fair.
