About Merritt
Biography
I have a reputation as a skilled and aggressive Family Law Specialist and have been practicing for over 35 years.
I have served as a pro-tem judge and have been on the arbitration panels of the American Arbitration Association, Better Business Bureau, and for several county and local bar associations.
I was a partner in a general civil trial practice for over 20 years in Los Angeles consisting of family law, business litigation, personal injury and malpractice.
I have been practicing in Contra Costa County since 1992 and my practice is now 100% family law.
