Verified ClientHired Law firm 2018-2019I would highly recommend Dennis Mersberger as an excellent choice to represent any of my family and friends should his services be needed. Dennis was extremely professional, courteous, prompt, responsive and clearly was developing a legal strategy during our initial conversation. He was honest and thoughtful in providing us with the steps that needed to be taken for a successful outcome. We felt as though Dennis had our back and truly cared about a fair and reasonable outcome and he fought hard to make sure that happened. Our thanks to Dennis for his legal advice and representation. We made a great choice in hiring him!

Verified ClientHired Law firm 2018-2019I would highly recommend considering Mr. Dennis as your attorney for any traffic related cases. He is professional and reasonable in all aspects. I had 2 reckless driving cases by speed. He worked with me and strategically fought for me to reduce my charges from misdemeanors to mere infractions. He was quick to respond to my concerns and worked with me till the end to make sure that I receive the best outcome possible in my cases.

How do I choose a lawyer?
Consider the following:
- Comfort Level – Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?
- Credentials – How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?
- Cost – How are the lawyer's fees structured — hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?
- City – Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?
Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?
Here are a few to get you started:
- How long have you been in practice?
- How many cases like mine have you handled?
- How often do you settle cases out of court?
- What are your fees and costs?
- What are the next steps?
Want to check lawyer discipline?
It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:
- Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
- Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
- Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
