Tired of Integrity? Call Merritt!

Merritt is quite possibly the least ethical individual. He represented a family member of mine and took his money without even bothering to know his case. He drove an unnecessary wedge between my family members by making false claims, and volunteered to provide false documentation. When he could no l...onger ride the wave of utter garbage he calls a legal strategy or baffle the judge with falsehoods, he quit the case and left. Additionally, he is a nasty and malicious character to interact with. His interactions and responses to other legal professionals will have you shaking your head and honestly feel ashamed you got him involved in your case. If you are a proud, self-respecting individual and want someone who will absolutely tarnish your reputation by association alone, give Merritt a call - he will cost you a ton of money for contributing nothing but headaches, embarrassment, and this incredibly cringey feeling that is hard to shake.

Supportive, Tough, Fair and Understanding.

I have used Mr. Merritt L.Weisinger, a family law attorney, to represent me in my divorce case. His legal advice is always very comprehensive and based on detailed analysis of all aspects and circumstances in the case. Mr. Weisinger is aggressive and smart, his argumentation is very thorough and c...onvincing which is definitely good basis for success. His professionalism and expertise were always essential in moving towards best solutions during my divorce procedures. I will strongly recommend anyone who needs help with their divorce to contact Mr. Weisinger right away. You will get an honest assessment and have the most competent and caring attorney who will fight for you!!!

Speaks from experience

I like Merritt, his staff and his office from the minute that I walked into the door. I immediatley picked up on the amount of energy he has put into his practice and the feeling it has. I hired Merritt to draft a prenup agreement and while I had done prior research he proved very knowledgeable filli...ng in all the answers to all of the questions that I had and he speaks from a position of experience and what he has seen over the years. I will definetly be hiring Merritt again if/when the need arises and would recommend him.

"I endorse this lawyer. I've known Merritt since before I went to law school. He has handled major cases, a few famous cases, and I see he's managed to practice long enough to work with his son. He is both skilled and durable. He also opened a door for me when I didn't know what to be when I grew up. Thank you."
