Merritt Law

Chris Merritt is a total professional with a firm mastery of family law. I found him very approachable and friendly, and he quickly gained my trust and made feel safe through my divorce. He is very organized, punctual, and focused, and helped me to be the same. His courtroom demeanor is top notch and no nonsense. When looking for someone to represent you in your time of need you hope to find someone you can trust, someone who knows family law in-and-out, and someone to look out for your best interest. Chris Merritt does all three. Absolutely recommend.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Chris Merritt at Merritt Law on my uncontested divorce. Chris was professional, knowledgeable, and brought empathy and great communication to every discussion. His office staff answered calls every time, how nice - humans and not a machine! The fees met my expectations, and the process was smooth and efficient. Big thank you to Chris - Austin is lucky to have him working in family law and supporting families evenhandedly through the difficult challenges of divorce.

As a fellow attorney, I have the pleasure knowing Chris Merritt and can say without hesitation that he is an exceptional lawyer. Chris is not only highly skilled and knowledgeable in his practice, but he also approaches every matter with professionalism, integrity, and genuine care for his clients. His reputation in the legal community is well-earned — he’s thorough, strategic, and relentless in advocating for those he represents. Beyond that, he’s collaborative and always willing to share insight and guidance, which speaks volumes about his character and leadership. He sets the standard for excellence in the profession.

Chris was great and easy to work with from start to finish. His knowledge and professionalism made my tough legal process very smooth.

Chis Merritt did a masterful job representing me at a court hearing. I am now retired and living in Kenya where I am engaged in charitable endeavors. In my absence, I was sued for divorce, and my wife's attorney attempted to force my return for a trial when I was unprepared. With only two days notice, Chis stepped up to the plate and worked closely with me to prevail at the hearing giving me the opportunity to prepare for trial. Thanks Chris!!!

Chris Merritt is an outstanding attorney. He is very knowledgeable in area of parental alienation, and is an outstanding trial attorney. His office prepared and organized a concise case for us, that allowed the court to easily focus on the critical issues we were dealing with. He is a strong advocate, and takes his responsibility to his clients very seriously. If you are dealing with a divorce or God forbid, custody issues, you can hire Christopher Merritt, and know that you are represented by a highly qualified and engaged attorney. We won our case, but I was happy with Chris's work before the judge ruled, because I knew Chris' team had done the best job possible.
