Walnut Creek Family Law Center

Divorce is not something I thought was going to be part of my life. The process is confusing and overwhelming. Ethan and Giselle have explained so much to me, and listened to my thoughts and feelings about my case with thoughtfulness and compassion. There are no guarantees. Nothing is sugar-coated. Just honesty about options and preparation for all outcomes, even if they're maybe not the ones you expect.

Merritt is a decent family lawyer. However, he has many clients which resulted in an inability to dedicate the time needed to my case. Many times when I met with him a lot of time was spent reviewing my case file and duplicating previous work. This increased the cost of his firm's services significantly. After little progress on my case and significant cost in over a year of working together, I decided to relieve Merritt of his services and get another lawyer.

Hi spoke to Ethan on the phone. He was polite, smart and insightful in helping our family protect our assets and set up documents. Thanks.

Ethan and the receptionist are top class. Called around many places concerning divorce. His receptionist was very helpful, knowledgeable, and CARING. When I spoke with Ethan he was very informative, professional, and CARING. He had my best interests in mind and not just trying to get my business. We had a very productive phone conversation and gave me extremely sound advice, and cared and was interested in our situation and makes you feel comfortable. Other places you call will not take time to help you out or speak with you without getting paid. This is a top class firm with highly qualified and respectful people. I will be using them whether it's for a personal divorce attorney or mediator. Thank you for your help. The Yelp reviews speak for themselves.

Merritt is every bit the dulldog he uses on his business cards. Believe me when I say that this is a good thing. He employs a wealth of knowledge gained over his vast tenure in the field. If you want absolute control over these very difficult times (divorce) than I can assure you Merritt is your man.
