If I could, I’d humbly provide Tammy with the Universe of stars. Tammy Mercado is a miracle-working Super Hero! She did in less than 10 days what my four prior “top rated” greedy, patronizing lawyers could not even comprehend over multiple years. Unlike all of my other attorneys, she didn’t take advantage of my massive distress to treat me like an ATM. I never say this kind of thing but, I truly felt like she was a best friend, a sister even, in lock-step who fought fearlessly for me when I had no fight left to give. My goals and her goals were One. She clearly and kindly reminded me of my real goals when I got blind-sided and upset. She kept everyone in line including my ex’s devious attorney and got the job done faster than Flash, the Marvel character who travels faster than the speed of light. The other “top-rated” attorneys just patted me on the head, some offered thoughts and prayers. All of them told me to basically do nothing and wait. despite that my health and credit score - due to their abuse and exploitive fees - were rapidly collapsing. Tammy achieved more with me in our first quick call than a allegedly super star attorney took $45,000 in fees and over 9 months to Not Comprehend, despite that divorce should have been easy, it was just assets, no children. After 2+ years of pure hell with those “top-rated” thieves, I was panicked, traumatized and often inconsolable. Tammy handled me with the greatest of care both efficiently and highly effectively. She was tough on me when I really wanted to fight losing battles. She always had the perfect and reasonable quip to say to inspire me when I succumbed to doom and gloom. She had more compassion in one sentence then all of the other $700 attorneys did with their endless, expensive and exploitive proverbial pats on the head, with no sense of direction or purpose. The fact that Tammy could do all that and get conceptual agreement with the devious other side in less than a week was ecstatically surreal. My ex’s attorney usually took weeks to acknowledge receipt of an email. Then at least another four weeks to hurl epithets, throw tantrums and chip away agreements that were already made. Him doing the red lines was like a very hot walk starting in purgatory. None of that stopped Tammy from bringing him to his knees and tackling him him so we can get the deal done! He was so caught off guard that he had to take a sudden vacation to drag it out and come up with new tricks. Not only was she running circles like Flash Gordon around him, she also runs circles around any of the best attorneys you can find in San Francisco, East Bay, South Bay and Marin. To my own shock, with her representing me now, I honesty want and am confident enough to restart the entire process because I know I would get a lot more benefit, relief and joy going through this with her.

I would like to express my appreciation to Whipple, Mercado & Associates LLP. I knew I was going with them as soon as I hung up after our consultation. The whole thing was so scary just because I don't know anything about family law and the whole process can be completely overwhelming and intimidating. Every time I spoke with Tammy or Mary it was reassuring. All interactions with them and the paralegals were encouraging. The court process was the best. That was so scary and Mary totally nailed it. She said all the right things at all the right times. I'm incredibly grateful and highly recommend Whipple, Mercado & Associates LLP. I'm. Because of their hard work, my brother has a shot at happiness and might have saved his life.

Tammy Mercado made a huge mistake when she was in with her mother’s vindictive rampage against me! She wrote my mother’s will then, thru instruction from her mother (my sister) tried taking money from my inheritance by claiming there was no will! A bold face lie! Immoral, unethical and ILLEGAL! If Tammy would purposely lie about her own uncle for finiancial gain, what other crimes would she commit? They lied because they didn’t think I could prove it. WRONG! I am submitting a complaint with the Legal Board against Tammy Mercado after the court finds the truth in this matter! Good advise is, STAY AWAY FROM UNETHICAL ATTORNEYS such as Tammy Mercado! Don S.

If you need an attorney I would recommend that you contact Tammy Mercado! She is great! She was able to fend off my ex who was trying to paint me in a bad light with the judge for custody and visitation. She was able to successfully contradict her false allegations and get me 50/50 custody despite my ex's false statements to the court. Tammy is reasonably priced and cares about her clients! I felt well listened to and taken care of! Don't be fooled by high priced hired guns who will just take your money and not provide results. I am extremely happy. Thank you Tammy!

I hired Mary Whipple after I heard of a very positive review from someone she represented during his divorce. So, I hired her for mine a few years ago in 2017. I found that appointments were to the point yet didn't lack the kindness one needs when their world is being turned upsidedown. It's easy to ramble on and on when you're hurting and stressed, but we kept focus during appointments (I needed the focus, not Mary 😉). Emails were responded to professionally and promptly, and she helped me get things agreed upon with my husband because we, like many others during a divorce process, struggled to communicate efficiently and effectively. Now, I will say that my husband and I ended up reconciling (yay!), so that changed things as far as court appearances with her, but I'm certain that she's well-prepared for court. Mary was encouraging after I shared the news of our reconciliation and when we released our attorneys, she was still very professional. Even my husband's attorney said that Mary "knew her stuff". I think that was good for the other side to speak well of her. She's seasoned, fair, compassionate and kind. Though we didn't follow through with our divorce, Mary Whipple and her staff were very helpful and just what I needed at the time. I would definitely recommend this firm and actually have recently! Divorce can be really hard, and it meant a lot knowing I had good representation. It lifted a huge weight off of my shoulders.

I will be forever grateful for Mary Whipple & her team. Throughout my case, she was dedicated, fair, and ethical. I was very pleased with the outcome and I give credit to Mary for all of her legal knowledge and advice, which was instrumental in navigating through my complicated divorce. I highly recommend Mary to others.

I can't say enough good things about this law firm. The staff and attorneys are patient and understanding. I would highly recommend them to anyone.

I hired Tammy for my divorce case. They overbills me. They are very unprofessional. Don’t prepare court documents correctly. Keep making mistakes in preparation of court documents. Keep charging even if it’s there mistakes. They don’t know what was going in my case. They unreturned my phone after they got my money. Very sloppy not good.

Nobody likes having to get a lawyer to handle a divorce, but when you need one, this is the place you want to turn to. I was fortunate to have Tammy Mercado on my side, and she did a wonderful job for me. She was also great at helping me keep my costs down, and, when money became tight at the end of a very difficult divorce, she still kept giving me good, solid advice and support. This is someone who really cares about her clients, it's not about the money. It truly is about helping her clients. I would highly recommend Tammy and her firm to anyone in need!
