Schmergel Family Law, PLC

Schmergel & Mersberger, PLC is an outstanding law firm. After several disappointing experiences with other attorneys, I’m so grateful to have found them. Sean and Zach are exceptional in family law and divorce matters—professional, empathetic, and efficient. They’ve also brought on Samantha Hargis, who is fantastic. I first interacted with her when she was an intern and again recently during my custody trial—she’s incredibly capable and compassionate. If you’re looking for a team that genuinely prioritizes the best interests of your children, these are the attorneys to hire. I’ve also had brief interactions with Dennis Mersberger, who was equally excellent. This firm doesn’t waste your time—they listen, they care, and they deliver. I highly recommend Schmergel & Mersberger, PLC to anyone seeking trustworthy and effective legal representation.

Dennis M. Mersberger is one of the most talented and intelligent lawyer I have ever seen. He is very professional and honest with clients. He is always ready to help you. I have known Dennis since 2014. I have hired him for many traffic tickets, whenever I gave the traffic ticket case to him, he always figured it out means dismissed. Please don't hesitate to hire Mr. Dennis for your case if you really want the case to be dismissed not going to your DMV record.

Dennis Mersberger represented my son and successfully had the case dismissed. His knowledge of the laws and his experience within the Alexandria court system were huge factors in bringing our case to a close. Dennis was able to connect with my son and engage with him in a way that created trust and confidence.

I reached out to Dennis Mersberger under difficult circumstances. My college age daughter was being stalked, and while stumbling through the Protective Order process, I realized we needed an attorney to extend an emergency protective order to a 2-year extension. Dennis was simply amazing. He stepped us through the process and represented us in Court through two more hearings, and successfully got the order extended. His work helped keep the stalker in jail until his trial date was set. He was an immense support to my family, worked with my daughter remotely, touched base with the prosecution and detectives, to ensure everything went smoothly. To quote my daughter, he was our hero, along with the Arlington County detectives and the prosecutor. We are so glad we found him, he saved the day. He was professional, kind and supportive, and it was so great to have him on our side.

Dennis Mersberger was very helpful in helping me understand and navigate options regarding an issue impacting my elderly father. His understanding of the law and ability to ask the right questions was impressive and his feedback and direction was clear and concise. I would not hesitate to utilize Dennis on future legal matters.

I highly recommend Sean Schmergel for divorce and family law matters. I'm very appreciative of his help with achieving positive outcomes in two cases. He's knowledgeable, professional, friendly, and hardworking. He and his team, including Zachary Moore, are also courteous, communicative, and detailed.
