Shawn was the right choice for me in my greatest time of need. He was responsive, knowledgeable, and well respected in the legal community. Very personable and from our meetings and phone calls I can tell he is not only an honorable Lawyer but a good man. I am glad that I trusted him to do a good job, which he delivered on.

Shawn Merzlak was by far the best attorney for us because he thoroughly explained his plan for us and had the confidence and legal know-how to get our case resolved. He showed more compassion than any other attorney and made me feel confident and better about our legal matter, which could’ve been long and drawn out…
