I was a client of Merritt L. Weisinger
Merritt Weisinger handled my case with efficiency and effectively used his extensive knowledge of Family Law. He also helped keep costs down by using clerks and services for tasks that did not require his own time.
"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."
"Outstanding knowledgable attorney with a sharp, attentive professional support staff. Hard working, compassionate and highly respected by his peers and judges alike."
