HEAR FROM OUR CLIENTS

  • When I ask Merlyne questions that I personally think might be kind of dumb, she always gives me the confidence. She tells me, “no, you have to ask it.” I think that’s the best way to learn. I’m really learning and growing.

  • Having dealt with other lawyers in my time this is by itself exceptional. I feel fully confident in her services and it is such a relief to know that someone is dotting every L and crossing every T. She also lets me know immediately if I am unaware of an instance where I must do the same, and directs me quickly and clearly where and how to do so!

  • Merlyne was humble, forceful, clear, direct, explained things in exceptional detail, took into the consideration the idiosyncrasies of our situation and our organization’s unique mission and philosophy and how that would express in our legal agreements, and ended up developing for us a series of extremely customized documents that were perfectly executed, anticipated needs I had no idea we had, and saved our butts with several situations in filming that I hadn’t anticipated at all, and without which we could have had exposures. Thank you Merlyne. All of us are deeply grateful to you!
