Nicole Woolsey I highly recommend Attorney Joiner. Shes blunt and to the point no sugar coated nonsense. She accomplished in 30 days what I couldnt accomplish in 7 years, restoring my driving privileges. I am eternally grateful for her hard work and expertise.

DC Dope “Tribe” Mr. Walker Filbert may definitely have an unconventional approach but ultimately gets the job done. I appreciate his work. Additionally, I appreciate his willingness to genuinely listen & empathize. He saved my life.

Johna T Tepen Was so helpful to us in a very difficult time in our lives. Always there for us whenever we had questions. Just not a lawyer, but a friend

James Andrews Robert is a good guy. Been dealing with him for years. Is that a good thing or a bad thing?

Elmer Martin My lawyers made dealing with a tough situation a whole lot easier. This was confusing to me at first but they always took the time to answer my questions. I always felt like they genuinely cared about helping me. Good people here who know what theyre doing—I’d recommend them to anyone around here who needs legal help.

NIUHOY Caryn Barone was exactly who I needed to handle my divorce from a high conflict ex. My case had been ongoing, in and out of court, for 6 years. I was on my 2nd lawyer who was amicably dropping me as a client due to exhaustion with my case and Mrs. Barone was one of their recommendations. She stepped in and ran with things with a fresh set of eyes, a plan, and was reasonable both in price and her recommendations on how to proceed. Through her I was able to FINALLY get my case out of being stuck in the endless cycle of court dates. She uses common sense approaches and experience to get things taken care of in a timely manner which costs less in the long run. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for family law help even when it seems things are at their most difficult!

Bryan Farina Terrific lawyer and I’m so glad I found him to represent me. He is very thorough and explained everything clearly throughout and most importantly got me the best result possible. Highly Recommend!!

Joanna Vining Absolutely THE BEST attorney. She gets her job done efficiently and really cares about her clients. She works hard and makes sure that you are her priority at all times. Im very happy with Judy and her staff. Even though my case is on going, I always feel like Im in the loop and Im always please with the result when we meet. You can for sure count on Judy!

Sharon Mott Yesterday I closed on a home and it was only because of Ryan at Merit Law. For closing, my mortgage lender was very last minute and non-responsive. My realtor did the bare minimum once I was under contract and was dismissive of several of my concerns. So Ryan (and Raquel as backup at closing) continuously went above and beyond filling in where others left gaps. He always listened, understood my concerns and helped me work through them. He worked toward solutions while others worked to minimize their own work. Like I said, I would not have closed without the team at Merit Law and Ryan in particular. He is continuing to support me even after closing. Highly recommend.

Jeannette Hamilton Very helpful
