 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Gotten many tickets dropped or the charge reduced to a non moving violation.  Yes it would be great if they all could be dropped but at the end of the day my insurance is still affordable. Anyone leaving bad reviews about the Merrill's not getting a charge totally dismissed did not listen or read well enough when entering the contact as they make it very clear that both are a possibility.

  They were very straight forward and easy to communicate with. I had a pending deferral speeding ticket which i did my community service hours for and did the 4 hour arive at 25 class to get dismissed. But while I was doing that, I got a second speeding ticket and I was worried it will void my deferred ticket. But they got it dismissed. Thank you very much.

  He’s like Santa for speeding tickets. Anytime someone says they got a ticket, I always tell them “I got a guy”

  My son got his first speeding ticket. We called these guys and sent them a photo of the ticket. They took care of everything and got the ticket dismissed. Lucky kid. Hope he learned his lesson...

  Huge thank you to Reece Merrill for helping me resolve an issue with the Department of licensing. He was so quick to help me fix what seemed to be an overlook on the DOL’s part. I highly recommend him to anyone who needs legal help big or small.

  Great firm to work with.  Took care of all the paperwork and trial appearance.  One phone call, a couple of emails and send in the ticket to the court.  Pay 200.00 fee. Merrill got the ticket dismissed. Definitely worth the cost! Highly recommend them.
