Why Choose Merrill Law

You’ve got options. Here’s what makes us worth yours. Why choose Merrill Law?

Why Choose Merrill Law for Traffic Tickets, Speeding Tickets, DUI and Criminal Defense.

Who we help

Drivers and families in Everett and across Snohomish County who need practical, fast help with:

  • Traffic and speeding tickets
  • DUI and related DOL issues
  • Criminal defense on common misdemeanor charges

We’ve served the community since 1992. Many clients come back or send friends because they know we’ll handle it without drama.

What we do best

  • We go to court so you don’t have to for most ticket cases.
  • We know the local playbook – procedures, prosecutors, and what tends to work in Snohomish County courts.
  • We focus on outcomes that matter – protecting your record, license, and time.
  • Clear next steps – no jargon, no runaround.

How your case will run with us

  1. Call or send the form – we review basics and timelines.
  2. We explain options – contest, mitigate, deferral, or other strategy.
  3. We request discovery – officer notes, device calibration, video if available.
  4. We appear for you when possible and negotiate or fight the citation.
  5. We report back with the result and what it means for you going forward.

For DUI, we map the deadlines right away – including the DOL hearing window – and build your defense while guiding you through the steps that can’t wait.

Proof you can point to

  • Local and consistent – serving Everett and Snohomish County for decades.
  • Real testimonials from clients in your exact situation.
  • Community roots – annual Shred & Food Drive, and Scholarship. We live here and show up here.

Access and communication

  • Talk to a person during business hours.
  • Direct attorney involvement on strategy decisions.
  • Client portal for messages and documents if you prefer to handle things online.

Fees and expectations

  • Straight talk on cost before we act.
  • No-pressure intake – if we’re not the right fit, we’ll say so.
  • No guarantees on outcomes – we’ll tell you what’s realistic and why.

Languages

  • Appointments available in Spanish. If that makes this easier for you or a family member, tell us and we’ll arrange it.

Where we work

Primarily Everett and Snohomish County – with regular matters in nearby municipal and district courts. If your ticket or case is outside that area, ask us anyway. If another attorney would serve you better, we’ll point you there.

Good fit vs. not a fit

We’re a good fit if:

  • You want a local team that handles the process end to end.
  • You value clear communication and practical results.
  • You’d rather not take time off work to sit in a courtroom.

We’re not a fit if:

  • You want promises no lawyer can make.
  • You prefer to manage every step yourself and only need one-off paperwork.

Quick answers

  • Do I have to go to court? Often no for tickets – we usually appear for you. DUI and certain charges are different.
  • Will this affect my insurance? That depends on the final outcome – our job is to push for the result that protects you best.
  • How fast should I call? For DUI and some tickets, there are short deadlines. Sooner is better.
