I worked with Andrew on a complex child custody case. Things came up in my case that required him to be on call 24/7, he always answered the phone. He has an incredible attention to detail and memory of the case that spanned multiple years, and that memory helped all along the way. Andrew was able to review the issues, come up with a plan, and present and argue the case in a way that was top notch. Andrew is able to take very detailed concepts and separate out what are the most important. He both filed motions for me, and argued my case in the courtroom. In both instances, he was always ultra professional, prepared, and detailed in his work. I would recommend him to anyone.

Andrew is an excellent attorney. As a man it is not easy to gain permanent custody of a child regardless of the circumstances. That said, Andrew was successful in doing so. His guidance and preparation in my case directly led to the judges favorable decision. He took a true interest in me and my case. He cares about his client!

Andrew Merlo is a fabulous attorney in the field of family law. He was able to research every possible approach to helping my son out of a serious paternity obligation. Via his thourough research into my son's wife's marital history he discovered my son was not the legal father of their child and although we knew he wasn't the biologic father via DNA, my son had signed a birth certificate stating he was the father. Mr. Merlo was able to represent my son and deal with extremely complex issues and handle my son's ex wife in a most gentle and kind fashion as he guided her in seeing what was best for all parties. Mr Merlo navigated through treacherous waters to achieve a wonderful outcome for my son before an extremely knowledgable , meticulous and thorough Judge. The Judge praised him for his careful and concise application of the law. We were able to shorten a lengthy and circuitous legal road to achieve the desired result . We can't thank Mr. Merlo enough and highly recommend him to anyone seeking assistance in matters regarding Family issues.

Andy jumped in at the last minute and handled my case with no complaints. Not only did he study over 5 years worth of case data, he took time out of his weekend to go above and beyond to get prepared for a Monday morning trial. Andy was professional, tough in the court room, and very sincere.

I had met with a few lawyers to handle my case and when I met Andrew I hired him on the spot and I am thrilled that I did. I had a very difficult and long drawn out case, and working with Andrew and his staff really made a difference. He is always happy and available. He is easy to talk to and very knowledgeable, experienced and honest. I absolutely trust Andrew. He is a good guy and I would highly recommend him to friends and family!!

I would highly recommend Mr. Merlo to anyone looking for a divorce lawyer. He was professional, compassionate and diligent. I felt that he had my best interest at heart always and treated me with the upmost respect.

Andy has been a steady force throughout the entire process helping me to understand the expectations of the courts. As well as providing the vigorous research and litigation my case required.

Mr. Merlo was extremely professional and diligent in representing me during my divorce. Even when I wanted to make rash an emotional "bad decisions" Mr. Merlo demonstrated his keen experience by advising on the obvious outcomes that would affect not only me but my children. Andy is a street smart attorney who cares for his clients and gets the job done. Thank you for knocking down that alimony!!!!

From the moment I contacted Mr Merlo for a consultation he immediately made himself available not only providing me with his office phone number but also his cel phone! He was very accommodating making sure he gathered all the facts and that we understood the whole process! I would STRONGLY recommend him!

Mr. Merlo was very knowledgeable and caring with my divorce case. He knew the law and got me everything he said he would. He was aggressive when he needed to be and he negotiated a great settlement. I would 100% recommend him to anybody needing a divorce lawyer in Palm Beach County.

I have significant experience with attorneys and litigation, and based on my experience with Mr. Merlo, I found his style of handling my sensitive divorce to be unsettling at best. He proclaimed his expertise was "big picture", but often the details cannot be overlooked at the expense of grandiose showmanship. He executed with an unfamiliarity of legal arguments based on case law required to skillfully defend my complicated matter. He possessed an inability or just plain disinterest to follow through with basic components of critical tasks required in my case, made several technical errors that I noticed (I am not a lawyer) that could have cost me significantly if not caught in time, was extremely poorly equipped or seemingly inexperienced to properly handle the complex legal matters associated and was unfamiliar with the details of my case after months of being retained. Mr. Merlo is a nice and pleasant man, just fell short in providing the service required in my case.
