I worked with Josephine and could not think of anyone better to have trusted throughout this process than her! She was incredibly thoughtful, patient, and was a great resource that helped answer all of my questions. I would highly recommend Josephine and Merel Family Law to anyone looking for assistance.

I started my divorce journey with a lot of uncertainty and, unfortunately, a poor experience with my first attorney. I felt left in the dark and as if my priorities weren’t fully understood. After firing my initial attorney, I hired Annemarie, and it was a night-and-day difference. She stepped in, skillfully untangled a complicated situation, and truly took the time to understand what was important to me and what was fair. Annemarie’s expertise, dedication, and ability to navigate complex issues brought me peace of mind in a very challenging time. Highly recommend her to anyone needing a compassionate and knowledgeable divorce attorney.

I cannot express enough gratitude for the incredible work done by Melissa Caballero Dunn, Josephine Norton, and the entire Merel Family Law team. Navigating a divorce, especially from a narcissistic spouse, is never easy, but this team made the process as smooth and stress-free as possible. From the very beginning, Melissa and Josie were exceptional in their communication, always keeping me informed and prepared for every step of the way. What truly sets them apart is their unwavering commitment to prioritizing you and your children’s well-being. They listen, they understand, and they act with precision and care. The confidence they instilled in me during such a turbulent time was invaluable. They fought fiercely to ensure I received what I deserved, and they did so with such skill and determination that my husband and his lawyer were left reeling. If you’re dealing with a toxic relationship and need someone in your corner who will fight for you with tenacity and compassion, Merel Family Law is your team! Melissa and Josie are powerhouses in the courtroom—strategic, relentless, and utterly dedicated to their clients. Their expertise in handling complex, emotionally charged cases is unmatched. Hiring them was the best decision I could have made, and I wholeheartedly recommend their services to anyone facing a similar situation. Trust me, with them by your side, you’ll not only survive but come out stronger.

Knowledgeable, helpful, and trustworthy legal services

Annemarie is an incredibly dedicated professional who always puts her clients' needs first. Her outstanding efficiency and commitment to her work make her a truly valuable asset.

Ms. Josephine Norton was the attorney assigned to my case. She was very professional, caring, patient, and thorough. The communication was excellent and I would definitely recommend Merel family law services to anyone in the future!

Annmarie is top notch! She is extremely knowledgeable and treats you like a human being. She takes the time to explain everything and makes sure you understand. I would definitely recommend her to represent you!

While I had a fairly straightforward, uncontested divorce, Annemarie explained all of the steps of the process thoroughly. She was always punctual for meetings and to court. Annemarie had my best interest in mind and I'm grateful for that. Highly recommend her for domestic violence and divorce cases. She previously assisted me with a DV case and was very thorough, patient and attentive to detail.

Always available when questions arose. Worked diligently throughout the case which was brought to a very acceptable conclusion.

Annemarie is a caring, thoughtful, and effective attorney with years of experience under her belt. Under her guidance I was able to navigate a difficult divorce with a non-cooperative former spouse. She followed my desires to place my child's needs first and foremost during this process. I highly recommend Annemarie to any family or friends needing compassionate understanding yet tough and effective representation in or out of court.

I worked with Brad for my second bout through family court for adjustments to my parental agreement for my daughter. Brad was professional and insightful through the entire process. I appreciated how well he explained the law and my options for each step of the way. Most of all, I really appreciate how well he really listened to my concerns. Family court can be an emotional rollercoaster, and with Brad I felt like I had a strong advocate in my corner. I hope, hope, hope I never have to return to court again, but if I do I would not hesitate to hire Brad again.

Annemarie with the firm provide great advise and representation of me in my divorce case. The firm and all attorneys were ethical and professional and easy to work with. Annemarie work in my best interest and not trying to bill hours. I strongly recommend the firm and if your luck you get the rockstar attorney I had Annemarie.
