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.

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.

My divorce was a relatively straight forward process with Mr Merkers guidance. It was when we began the custody proceedings that Mr Merkers experience and compassion really proved invaluable. Mr Merker always considered my children's best interests when it came to custody issues with thier mother. He... proved to not only be a fantastic lawyer but also a trusted confidant on how to deal with the very emotional process of child custody. Today I enjoy a relationship with my two daughters that I did not have at the time of the divorce, as a direct result of Mr Merkers attention to detail and guidance thru the process.
