They did nothing to help me. I got screwed in the end. Doug talks a good game but when it comes down to it they did absolutely nothing to help! I can't even talk to my son!! Public defender would have been better!

Douglas Merkley is an aggressive and highly competent advocate for his clients. Beyond his technical professionalism and proficiency in the practice of law he is moreover a man of great integrity and adheres to the highest level of personal ethics. Doug will tell his clients up-front what a civil suit or defense before a criminal court will cost them. He requires a small portion of that fee up-front and the balance of the fee to be paid later. The fee remains what he stated to you originally: it is not meanwhile inflated by various alleged costs, telephone time, and some of the other gimmicks some lawyers will claim as "standard professional practice." His fees remain what he first stated to you. Best of all he wins the cases he accepts! Honesty, integrity, professionalism and effective advocate and litigator - - - that's Douglas Merkley Esq.!
