Jim Merson embodies the very ideals I believe are the original reasons most people believe in and want to fight for when each make their decision to pursue a career in law. For me, personally, he asked for very little, although the things he did I adhered to and he was able to deliver a deal I am still amazed even came together. In the past Defense Lawyers and District Attorneys talks and outcomes felt rushed and just something in the way of their joint tee times and after court cocktails. Jim practiced law. He took what positive changes I made in my life along with evidence presented and was able to arrange an agreement I believe every party felt was best for the situation at hand; that includes myself and Jim as well as the DA and Judge. I am forever grateful for his commitment to his passion and would absolutely make him my first and only choice if anything arises where myself or family ever need a lawyer in the future, and I would recommend him to all friends and strangers just the same as my family. Lastly, his ability to read situations and people is impeccable. He always knew when I was becoming frazzled and never failed to deescalate a situation. I can't say enough. All it takes is the first conversation and you'll know you can stop looking. Jim is the only choice.

Legal issues are intimidating, complicated and extremely nuanced. When someone you love is faced with serious consequences, quality legal guidance and representation is absolutely necessary. Jim Merson was amazing throughout our multi-year long process. He provided us first and foremost with his impressive legal experience and aptitude to help navigate this overwhelming process. His patience was extraordinary, answering every scenario and question we had. His ability to manage our case and our expectations was phenomenal. As a father of his client, Jim maintained an ethical standard and deferred to his client. However, what impressed me the most, was his ability to allow both me and my wife to be a part of the solution. I look back over this period and am still in awe how he was able to do all that he did and juggle at times our competing needs. The case was ultimately resolved to our complete and total satisfaction. B/c I must mention it...he did all of this through the complications of the Covid Pandemic. For the ones I love the most in this world, there is no other legal expert I would now trust, outside of Mr. Merson.

James Merson truly embodies professionalism and knowledge of the law especially in DUI/DWAI specific cases. Not to mention he’s just a great person. I can’t even begin to explain how much of a help he was to me through this stressful process. Would highly recommend.

Mr. Merson helped me through one of the most difficult times of my life with his expertise, compassion and willingness to get to know me as a person, not just as a client. For anyone in need of a top notch attorney, I can not express enough gratitude towards Mr. Merson’s knowledge of law and his understanding of my personal hardship.

James, (Jim) was perfect for my case. He actually got the result he said he would! Excellent communication and outstanding work. Highly recommended. Thanks, Jim

When you first go into Mr. Merson’s website, you’re greeted by a greeting that says he’s knowledgeable and he knows what he’s doing. But as soon as you get to the court dates and the DAs start putting the heat on him, he buckles. he claims to be knowledgeable in DUIs but is not, I was on probation for my second and I had gotten pulled over for a third. With mandatory jail sentences on both, I had already served one and he let me miss out on a week of my life. I highly recommend going to someone else

James is a thoughtful and wise attorney. He helped me navigate my legal pleading while keeping me informed throughout the process. His measured approach kept me confident and prepared throughout the process. From the moment I spoke to him to the final results James was always at my side. I would highly recommend him.

Phil Wong is a thorough, knowledgable and highly capable counselor. His no-nonsense approach instills confidence in the legal process.

Phil Wong helped me establish a living trust and a will for my estate planning situation. He responded personally, quickly and efficiently. I have consulted with him in the past on some business matters; I am very pleased with his work and immediate attention to my needs

Phil Wong is wonderful to work with! Incredibly prompt and responsive, direct, and to the point. Phil called me multiple times after hours and even on weekends to help with my M&A transaction. He followed up even after the transaction had closed just to confirm that everything was satisfactory. He is the only attorney I have ever met who actually cares about his clients and is truly looking out for their interests. Phil will not redline your contract to fluff his hours- quite the contrary. Phil is very reasonable and I Highly recommend!

James Merson give me some great advice! He also answered my call, called me back twice, exactly what he said he'd do. I greatly appreciate people who do what they say they will do!

Defendant: Juvenile Charge: Careless driving resulting in injury/death Year: 2019-2020 Jurisdiction: The case was removed from Traffic court into County court per the request of victim’s family members. Court: Adams County Experience: Merson was a great communicator who worked collaboratively with numerous persons prior to charges being made. He used proactive defense strategies to ensure the best outcome with no surprises and a fair and just charge. After charges filed he collaborated with the civil counsel, showing a great deal of humility allowing him to reinforce his arguments and defense for our case. Merson was timely, thorough and provided ongoing updates via phone, email and text. He always sent us documents prior to filing so we can look them over. The motions and pleadings paperwork was above and beyond expectations as he took a great deal of time and care to research case law and structure a well thought out defense positions. Throughout our experience we felt that Merson had our child’s best interest in mind. He listened. He never over promised and he was honest with integrity and ethics. Litigation: Our child agreed to the charges and Terms and Conditions. However, we did not agree to the all of the restitution being placed on our child. Merson litigated the restitution for us and showed up strong, eloquent, composed, and impressive with strong defense and case law to support our argument. Fees: His flat rate option for us was more than reasonable and relieved pressure of hourly fees. Result: We believe we ended up with a fair outcome in both the sentencing and restitution. Although I hope to never have the need to work with him again, if a need did arise, I would unequivocally utilize him again and would refer him to any family member.
