Getting Protection Order: I was harrassed by my ex after we broke up. He kept showing up at my place, knocking on my front door, my backyard door & my bedroom windows... whenever he wanted. I was so scared & figured getting the Protection Order can keep him away. I was naïve enough to think as long as I am telling the truth I would get the PO by myself. Until I found out my ex hired a lawyer against me the 1st time I need to face him in court. The lawyer talked in law terms I didn't understand. He asked me to sign a private agreement that I felt huge pressure from him. I managed to say no but desperately need professional help. I started sending emails to attorneys & firms enclosed with brief information of the case. Half of them didn't bother to respond, another half sent me the quotation for consultation without telling me whether they would take my case, nor what they think about my case. Nothing. Briteney was the only attorney that is so responsible: offering free consultation, explaining the procedures, telling me her opinion as a attorney & what would be my option. I hired her with no doubt. We did it! The judge grant us the PO. It's actually way harder than I thought to get the PO because my ex was so afraid the PO would effect his decent job, so he tried all he could to stop me from getting it. For someone like me who had never been through this, it could be a torture. However, Briteney being a such strong supporter from the beginning. Her professional also ease my anxiety, since we had well communication. She would always let me know what we are facing & what we are going to do. I appreciate of her help.
If I could give Brit Mercer 20 stars I would!!! I hired Brit Mercer several years ago for my son who was getting into trouble left and right at the time. At the highest point, he had hearings at five different courts for several cases--it was all over the board. Needless to say, he was fairly young and our family hoped for a better future for him and sought out a criminal defense attorney. Words cannot express how grateful I am for Brit and her work and her continuous support with 500% attention to my son's well-being. I hired some other attorneys at the time as each was a case by case situation and ended up combining all into one--Brit Mercer. Brit had a deep, grounded and very wise decision to take all the cases as a 'Global' approach. Brit was present in each court appearance for my son which is quite a bit for anyone, especially when he had four+ hearings in a month, over a period of several years. She is not only super sharp moving through what was best for my son but also very engaged, thoughtful and supportive. The outcome of each one of my son's cases has been resolved well. He has zero felonies and now is moving toward a better life for himself. This positive outcome may not have been possible if Brit Mercer did not represent my son. Also, as I have mentioned, my son had to appear in several different courts. During the several years of appearing at the various courts, I could tell Brit was very well respected by each court; judges, prosecuting attorneys, and staff at each and every one. Brit is purely a win-win!
Brit Mercer represented me in 2019. I was in a Lose-Lose situation. Other attorneys refused to represent me because there was no way they could help me. Brit took on my case. She helped guide me from a state of despair and thoughts of suicide, to hope. She always communicated with me regardless of how often I contacted her. I was facing years in jail and loss of life as I knew it. Brit guided me through the fear and doubt. She new the standard approach to my DUI was not going to do anything for me. Instead she studied me. Saw something deeper inside me was wrong. She cared. And thought outside the box. She found something that could help me. And she dove in and went above and beyond anything I would expect an attorney to do for their clients. Brit Mercer saved my life in many ways. Without her in my corner, I have no doubt my life would have been ripped away from me. Brit had the respect of her peers, the Prosecutor, and the judge. They listened to her. She found the experts who testified that made all the difference. She is by far the only attorney I would recommend. Not only did she create an outcome that was truly impossible to foresee at the beginning, but without a miss she has kept up with me, reminded me of obligations that I still have, and just believes in me. Brit was never one to give me false hope. She always came at me with the facts and what I was facing. No matter how hard those words were to hear especially at the beginning. But her perseverance to help and to save me won out. I will be forever grateful to Brit Mercer. I feel I will always be in her debt. I’m happy this forum is available so I can tell her thank you once again from the bottom of my heart. If you or a loved one finds themselves in serious DUI or any other situation, you will find NO ONE better. I promise you this. And the help she found for me changed my life for the better.
I had a misunderstanding with some government legal forms. Evidently I filled out the forms incorrectly, and all of a sudden, I was informed through the court system that I now have a legal problem. I connected with Briteney Mercer, and couldn't have been happier. All of this happened during the Covid lockdown, so we talked on the phone and e-mail, and she guided me through the sequence of events that would play out. She was very professional & knowledgeable, attentive & a great listener to what my issue was. She immediately put my mind at ease about the legal processes and expertly explained the sequence of events that was going to play out. She got my case Dismissed, without incident, and that was a tremendous relief to me. I would recommend Briteney to anyone needing legal help. She was excellent.
Let's be honest, in a perfect world, we would never have needed a defense attorney. Unfortunately, our son has made choices that required us to first seek out an attorney for Minor in Possession and Theft charges. We were truly fortunate to have connections in the law community that led us to Ms. Mercer. In just our first meeting, we all felt a sense of "this is the right attorney for us" - a sense that has deepened. Ms. Mercer was clearly skilled and quite capable of handling our son's case, but more than that, she exhibited true compassion for our son and for us. When all was said and done, Ms. Mercer was able to secure a very favorable outcome for our son, which we wish had marked the end of our relationship with her. Unfortunately, our son was charged with a much more significant charge, DUI, just as his first case was wrapping up! I actually reached out to Ms. Mercer on Thanksgiving Day, not expecting a response on that date. But, Ms. Mercer responded almost immediately, both to accept the case, but more significantly to inquire about our son's physical well-being and our emotional well-being. It was extraordinary! Over the course of waiting for action by the court, our son finally recognized that he needed help. I reached out to Ms. Mercer simply to notify her that our son may be going into treatment and to determine the ramifications from a legal standpoint. Ms. Mercer said "the case is secondary to your son's well-being - do what is needed, I will take care of the case." Again, extraordinary! She also provided us with the name of a person who helps families find the best treatment options. We reached out and that person was invaluable. As with the first case, Ms. Mercer was able to secure a very favorable outcome for our son. Thanks to our son's recognition that he needed help and Ms. Mercer's recommendation, our son is on his way to a healthy life. My husband, my son and I will forever be grateful for Ms. Mercer, both as an attorney and as a person.
Brit has been an amazing attorney for me, my family and friends. Always very accessible. Her knowledge of not only the law, but of many of the local courts (judges, DA's and attorneys) is invaluable. She has represented my interests in cases favorably 100% of the time, thus why she's my GO-TO attorney. Highly recommend as I have to other friends who have had the same experience as me.
From our very first conversation, Brit Mercer made me feel less anxious and more confident about my legal situation. Her expertise and her calm demeanor gave me strength that I needed in a time when I was feeling very scared and unsure. She was incredibly respectful, professional, efficient, communicative, and honest with me. She even answered my questions and helped me with anything I needed post DUI. She is an incredible lawyer who knows what she is doing and is highly effective at her job.
I was arrested for a hit and run that I did not think I committed. The experience of being arrested created a kind of identity vertigo -- I had always thought if arrested it would be for a protest of some kind, not an act of presumed cowardice. Brit returned my call as she was getting on an airplane and her kindness and clear competence immediately gave me both hope and grounded me in reality of my situation. When we met, she quickly grasped the situation, prepared and then delivered on a successful legal strategy that was built on integrity, a firm mastery of the law and strong relationships within the local justice system. I wish everyone who needed help in the justice system could have as fine a lawyer as I felt blessed to have in Brit. Five stars is not enough.
We hired Brit to help with charges against my daughter. Brit was able to have the charges "reinstated" even after time had elapsed that would make those charges stick. Brit negotiated with the DA's office and convinced them to not close the cases, and penalize my daughter. The cases were misdemeanors, and after Brit represented us in court, she was able to reinstate the original probation terms and after 6 months of adherence to the judge's orders my daughters charges were dismissed...!!! Brit did a fantastic job representing us, and was on top of the entire situation...!! If ever I need a defense attorney again in King County, Brit will be the VERY first person I will call...!!
I cannot express how grateful I am for having chose Brit Mercer to represent me in what is truly a life challenging situation, Brit made every situation the best it could be. Her caring demeanor, confidence, strength and expertise are exemplimary. She is someone I highly respect and her professionalism in the courts and to myself are extraordinary. I cannot imagine working with anyone else. Brit is the best of the best and she does it will heart, grit and passion for her clientele and to honor her profession. I am forever changed and forever grateful. I highly recommend Brit.

Words cannot express how grateful I am for Brit and her work and her continuous support with 500% attention to my son's well-being. I hired some other attorneys at the time as each was a case by case situation and ended up combining all into one--Brit Mercer. Brit had a deep, grounded and very wise decision to take all the cases as a 'Global' approach. Brit was present in each court appearance for my son which is quite a bit for anyone, especially when he had four+ hearings in a month, over a period of several years. She is not only super sharp moving through what was best for my son but also very engaged, thoughtful and supportive. The outcome of each one of my son's cases has been resolved well. He has zero felonies and now is moving toward a better life for himself. This positive outcome may not have been possible if Brit Mercer did not represent my son. Also, as I have mentioned, my son had to appear in several different courts. During the several years of appearing at the various courts, I could tell Brit was very well respected by each court; judges, prosecuting attorneys, and staff at each and every one. Brit is purely a win-win!
Brit Mercer represented me in 2019. I was in a Lose-Lose situation. Other attorneys refused to represent me because there was no way they could help me. Brit took on my case. She helped guide me from a state of despair and thoughts of suicide, to hope. She always communicated with me regardless of how often I contacted her. I was facing years in jail and loss of life as I knew it. Brit guided me through the fear and doubt. She new the standard approach to my DUI was not going to do anything for me. Instead she studied me. Saw something deeper inside me was wrong. She cared. And thought outside the box. She found something that could help me. And she dove in and went above and beyond anything I would expect an attorney to do for their clients. Brit Mercer saved my life in many ways. Without her in my corner, I have no doubt my life would have been ripped away from me. Brit had the respect of her peers, the Prosecutor, and the judge. They listened to her. She found the experts who testified that made all the difference. She is by far the only attorney I would recommend. Not only did she create an outcome that was truly impossible to foresee at the beginning, but without a miss she has kept up with me, reminded me of obligations that I still have, and just believes in me. Brit was never one to give me false hope. She always came at me with the facts and what I was facing. No matter how hard those words were to hear especially at the beginning. But her perseverance to help and to save me won out. I will be forever grateful to Brit Mercer. I feel I will always be in her debt. I’m happy this forum is available so I can tell her thank you once again from the bottom of my heart. If you or a loved one finds themselves in serious DUI or any other situation, you will find NO ONE better. I promise you this. And the help she found for me changed my life for the better.
I had a misunderstanding with some government legal forms. Evidently I filled out the forms incorrectly, and all of a sudden, I was informed through the court system that I now have a legal problem. I connected with Briteney Mercer, and couldn't have been happier. All of this happened during the Covid lockdown, so we talked on the phone and e-mail, and she guided me through the sequence of events that would play out. She was very professional & knowledgeable, attentive & a great listener to what my issue was. She immediately put my mind at ease about the legal processes and expertly explained the sequence of events that was going to play out. She got my case Dismissed, without incident, and that was a tremendous relief to me. I would recommend Briteney to anyone needing legal help. She was excellent.
Let's be honest, in a perfect world, we would never have needed a defense attorney. Unfortunately, our son has made choices that required us to first seek out an attorney for Minor in Possession and Theft charges. We were truly fortunate to have connections in the law community that led us to Ms. Mercer. In just our first meeting, we all felt a sense of "this is the right attorney for us" - a sense that has deepened. Ms. Mercer was clearly skilled and quite capable of handling our son's case, but more than that, she exhibited true compassion for our son and for us. When all was said and done, Ms. Mercer was able to secure a very favorable outcome for our son, which we wish had marked the end of our relationship with her. Unfortunately, our son was charged with a much more significant charge, DUI, just as his first case was wrapping up! I actually reached out to Ms. Mercer on Thanksgiving Day, not expecting a response on that date. But, Ms. Mercer responded almost immediately, both to accept the case, but more significantly to inquire about our son's physical well-being and our emotional well-being. It was extraordinary! Over the course of waiting for action by the court, our son finally recognized that he needed help. I reached out to Ms. Mercer simply to notify her that our son may be going into treatment and to determine the ramifications from a legal standpoint. Ms. Mercer said "the case is secondary to your son's well-being - do what is needed, I will take care of the case." Again, extraordinary! She also provided us with the name of a person who helps families find the best treatment options. We reached out and that person was invaluable. As with the first case, Ms. Mercer was able to secure a very favorable outcome for our son. Thanks to our son's recognition that he needed help and Ms. Mercer's recommendation, our son is on his way to a healthy life. My husband, my son and I will forever be grateful for Ms. Mercer, both as an attorney and as a person.
Brit has been an amazing attorney for me, my family and friends. Always very accessible. Her knowledge of not only the law, but of many of the local courts (judges, DA's and attorneys) is invaluable. She has represented my interests in cases favorably 100% of the time, thus why she's my GO-TO attorney. Highly recommend as I have to other friends who have had the same experience as me.
From our very first conversation, Brit Mercer made me feel less anxious and more confident about my legal situation. Her expertise and her calm demeanor gave me strength that I needed in a time when I was feeling very scared and unsure. She was incredibly respectful, professional, efficient, communicative, and honest with me. She even answered my questions and helped me with anything I needed post DUI. She is an incredible lawyer who knows what she is doing and is highly effective at her job.
I was arrested for a hit and run that I did not think I committed. The experience of being arrested created a kind of identity vertigo -- I had always thought if arrested it would be for a protest of some kind, not an act of presumed cowardice. Brit returned my call as she was getting on an airplane and her kindness and clear competence immediately gave me both hope and grounded me in reality of my situation. When we met, she quickly grasped the situation, prepared and then delivered on a successful legal strategy that was built on integrity, a firm mastery of the law and strong relationships within the local justice system. I wish everyone who needed help in the justice system could have as fine a lawyer as I felt blessed to have in Brit. Five stars is not enough.
We hired Brit to help with charges against my daughter. Brit was able to have the charges "reinstated" even after time had elapsed that would make those charges stick. Brit negotiated with the DA's office and convinced them to not close the cases, and penalize my daughter. The cases were misdemeanors, and after Brit represented us in court, she was able to reinstate the original probation terms and after 6 months of adherence to the judge's orders my daughters charges were dismissed...!!! Brit did a fantastic job representing us, and was on top of the entire situation...!! If ever I need a defense attorney again in King County, Brit will be the VERY first person I will call...!!
I cannot express how grateful I am for having chose Brit Mercer to represent me in what is truly a life challenging situation, Brit made every situation the best it could be. Her caring demeanor, confidence, strength and expertise are exemplimary. She is someone I highly respect and her professionalism in the courts and to myself are extraordinary. I cannot imagine working with anyone else. Brit is the best of the best and she does it will heart, grit and passion for her clientele and to honor her profession. I am forever changed and forever grateful. I highly recommend Brit.
Getting Protection Order: I was harrassed by my ex after we broke up. He kept showing up at my place, knocking on my front door, my backyard door & my bedroom windows... whenever he wanted. I was so scared & figured getting the Protection Order can keep him away. I was naïve enough to think as long as I am telling the truth I would get the PO by myself. Until I found out my ex hired a lawyer against me the 1st time I need to face him in court. The lawyer talked in law terms I didn't understand. He asked me to sign a private agreement that I felt huge pressure from him. I managed to say no but desperately need professional help. I started sending emails to attorneys & firms enclosed with brief information of the case. Half of them didn't bother to respond, another half sent me the quotation for consultation without telling me whether they would take my case, nor what they think about my case. Nothing. Briteney was the only attorney that is so responsible: offering free consultation, explaining the procedures, telling me her opinion as a attorney & what would be my option. I hired her with no doubt. We did it! The judge grant us the PO. It's actually way harder than I thought to get the PO because my ex was so afraid the PO would effect his decent job, so he tried all he could to stop me from getting it. For someone like me who had never been through this, it could be a torture. However, Briteney being a such strong supporter from the beginning. Her professional also ease my anxiety, since we had well communication. She would always let me know what we are facing & what we are going to do. I appreciate of her help.

All of this happened during the Covid lockdown, so we talked on the phone and e-mail, and she guided me through the sequence of events that would play out. She was very professional & knowledgeable, attentive & a great listener to what my issue was. She immediately put my mind at ease about the legal processes and expertly explained the sequence of events that was going to play out. She got my case Dismissed, without incident, and that was a tremendous relief to me. I would recommend Briteney to anyone needing legal help. She was excellent.
Let's be honest, in a perfect world, we would never have needed a defense attorney. Unfortunately, our son has made choices that required us to first seek out an attorney for Minor in Possession and Theft charges. We were truly fortunate to have connections in the law community that led us to Ms. Mercer. In just our first meeting, we all felt a sense of "this is the right attorney for us" - a sense that has deepened. Ms. Mercer was clearly skilled and quite capable of handling our son's case, but more than that, she exhibited true compassion for our son and for us. When all was said and done, Ms. Mercer was able to secure a very favorable outcome for our son, which we wish had marked the end of our relationship with her. Unfortunately, our son was charged with a much more significant charge, DUI, just as his first case was wrapping up! I actually reached out to Ms. Mercer on Thanksgiving Day, not expecting a response on that date. But, Ms. Mercer responded almost immediately, both to accept the case, but more significantly to inquire about our son's physical well-being and our emotional well-being. It was extraordinary! Over the course of waiting for action by the court, our son finally recognized that he needed help. I reached out to Ms. Mercer simply to notify her that our son may be going into treatment and to determine the ramifications from a legal standpoint. Ms. Mercer said "the case is secondary to your son's well-being - do what is needed, I will take care of the case." Again, extraordinary! She also provided us with the name of a person who helps families find the best treatment options. We reached out and that person was invaluable. As with the first case, Ms. Mercer was able to secure a very favorable outcome for our son. Thanks to our son's recognition that he needed help and Ms. Mercer's recommendation, our son is on his way to a healthy life. My husband, my son and I will forever be grateful for Ms. Mercer, both as an attorney and as a person.
Brit has been an amazing attorney for me, my family and friends. Always very accessible. Her knowledge of not only the law, but of many of the local courts (judges, DA's and attorneys) is invaluable. She has represented my interests in cases favorably 100% of the time, thus why she's my GO-TO attorney. Highly recommend as I have to other friends who have had the same experience as me.
From our very first conversation, Brit Mercer made me feel less anxious and more confident about my legal situation. Her expertise and her calm demeanor gave me strength that I needed in a time when I was feeling very scared and unsure. She was incredibly respectful, professional, efficient, communicative, and honest with me. She even answered my questions and helped me with anything I needed post DUI. She is an incredible lawyer who knows what she is doing and is highly effective at her job.
I was arrested for a hit and run that I did not think I committed. The experience of being arrested created a kind of identity vertigo -- I had always thought if arrested it would be for a protest of some kind, not an act of presumed cowardice. Brit returned my call as she was getting on an airplane and her kindness and clear competence immediately gave me both hope and grounded me in reality of my situation. When we met, she quickly grasped the situation, prepared and then delivered on a successful legal strategy that was built on integrity, a firm mastery of the law and strong relationships within the local justice system. I wish everyone who needed help in the justice system could have as fine a lawyer as I felt blessed to have in Brit. Five stars is not enough.
We hired Brit to help with charges against my daughter. Brit was able to have the charges "reinstated" even after time had elapsed that would make those charges stick. Brit negotiated with the DA's office and convinced them to not close the cases, and penalize my daughter. The cases were misdemeanors, and after Brit represented us in court, she was able to reinstate the original probation terms and after 6 months of adherence to the judge's orders my daughters charges were dismissed...!!! Brit did a fantastic job representing us, and was on top of the entire situation...!! If ever I need a defense attorney again in King County, Brit will be the VERY first person I will call...!!
I cannot express how grateful I am for having chose Brit Mercer to represent me in what is truly a life challenging situation, Brit made every situation the best it could be. Her caring demeanor, confidence, strength and expertise are exemplimary. She is someone I highly respect and her professionalism in the courts and to myself are extraordinary. I cannot imagine working with anyone else. Brit is the best of the best and she does it will heart, grit and passion for her clientele and to honor her profession. I am forever changed and forever grateful. I highly recommend Brit.
Getting Protection Order: I was harrassed by my ex after we broke up. He kept showing up at my place, knocking on my front door, my backyard door & my bedroom windows... whenever he wanted. I was so scared & figured getting the Protection Order can keep him away. I was naïve enough to think as long as I am telling the truth I would get the PO by myself. Until I found out my ex hired a lawyer against me the 1st time I need to face him in court. The lawyer talked in law terms I didn't understand. He asked me to sign a private agreement that I felt huge pressure from him. I managed to say no but desperately need professional help. I started sending emails to attorneys & firms enclosed with brief information of the case. Half of them didn't bother to respond, another half sent me the quotation for consultation without telling me whether they would take my case, nor what they think about my case. Nothing. Briteney was the only attorney that is so responsible: offering free consultation, explaining the procedures, telling me her opinion as a attorney & what would be my option. I hired her with no doubt. We did it! The judge grant us the PO. It's actually way harder than I thought to get the PO because my ex was so afraid the PO would effect his decent job, so he tried all he could to stop me from getting it. For someone like me who had never been through this, it could be a torture. However, Briteney being a such strong supporter from the beginning. Her professional also ease my anxiety, since we had well communication. She would always let me know what we are facing & what we are going to do. I appreciate of her help.
If I could give Brit Mercer 20 stars I would!!! I hired Brit Mercer several years ago for my son who was getting into trouble left and right at the time. At the highest point, he had hearings at five different courts for several cases--it was all over the board. Needless to say, he was fairly young and our family hoped for a better future for him and sought out a criminal defense attorney. Words cannot express how grateful I am for Brit and her work and her continuous support with 500% attention to my son's well-being. I hired some other attorneys at the time as each was a case by case situation and ended up combining all into one--Brit Mercer. Brit had a deep, grounded and very wise decision to take all the cases as a 'Global' approach. Brit was present in each court appearance for my son which is quite a bit for anyone, especially when he had four+ hearings in a month, over a period of several years. She is not only super sharp moving through what was best for my son but also very engaged, thoughtful and supportive. The outcome of each one of my son's cases has been resolved well. He has zero felonies and now is moving toward a better life for himself. This positive outcome may not have been possible if Brit Mercer did not represent my son. Also, as I have mentioned, my son had to appear in several different courts. During the several years of appearing at the various courts, I could tell Brit was very well respected by each court; judges, prosecuting attorneys, and staff at each and every one. Brit is purely a win-win!
Brit Mercer represented me in 2019. I was in a Lose-Lose situation. Other attorneys refused to represent me because there was no way they could help me. Brit took on my case. She helped guide me from a state of despair and thoughts of suicide, to hope. She always communicated with me regardless of how often I contacted her. I was facing years in jail and loss of life as I knew it. Brit guided me through the fear and doubt. She new the standard approach to my DUI was not going to do anything for me. Instead she studied me. Saw something deeper inside me was wrong. She cared. And thought outside the box. She found something that could help me. And she dove in and went above and beyond anything I would expect an attorney to do for their clients. Brit Mercer saved my life in many ways. Without her in my corner, I have no doubt my life would have been ripped away from me. Brit had the respect of her peers, the Prosecutor, and the judge. They listened to her. She found the experts who testified that made all the difference. She is by far the only attorney I would recommend. Not only did she create an outcome that was truly impossible to foresee at the beginning, but without a miss she has kept up with me, reminded me of obligations that I still have, and just believes in me. Brit was never one to give me false hope. She always came at me with the facts and what I was facing. No matter how hard those words were to hear especially at the beginning. But her perseverance to help and to save me won out. I will be forever grateful to Brit Mercer. I feel I will always be in her debt. I’m happy this forum is available so I can tell her thank you once again from the bottom of my heart. If you or a loved one finds themselves in serious DUI or any other situation, you will find NO ONE better. I promise you this. And the help she found for me changed my life for the better.

I was arrested for a hit and run that I did not think I committed. The experience of being arrested created a kind of identity vertigo -- I had always thought if arrested it would be for a protest of some kind, not an act of presumed cowardice. Brit returned my call as she was getting on an airplane and her kindness and clear competence immediately gave me both hope and grounded me in reality of my situation. When we met, she quickly grasped the situation, prepared and then delivered on a successful legal strategy that was built on integrity, a firm mastery of the law and strong relationships within the local justice system. I wish everyone who needed help in the justice system could have as fine a lawyer as I felt blessed to have in Brit. Five stars is not enough.
We hired Brit to help with charges against my daughter. Brit was able to have the charges "reinstated" even after time had elapsed that would make those charges stick. Brit negotiated with the DA's office and convinced them to not close the cases, and penalize my daughter. The cases were misdemeanors, and after Brit represented us in court, she was able to reinstate the original probation terms and after 6 months of adherence to the judge's orders my daughters charges were dismissed...!!! Brit did a fantastic job representing us, and was on top of the entire situation...!! If ever I need a defense attorney again in King County, Brit will be the VERY first person I will call...!!
I cannot express how grateful I am for having chose Brit Mercer to represent me in what is truly a life challenging situation, Brit made every situation the best it could be. Her caring demeanor, confidence, strength and expertise are exemplimary. She is someone I highly respect and her professionalism in the courts and to myself are extraordinary. I cannot imagine working with anyone else. Brit is the best of the best and she does it will heart, grit and passion for her clientele and to honor her profession. I am forever changed and forever grateful. I highly recommend Brit.
Getting Protection Order: I was harrassed by my ex after we broke up. He kept showing up at my place, knocking on my front door, my backyard door & my bedroom windows... whenever he wanted. I was so scared & figured getting the Protection Order can keep him away. I was naïve enough to think as long as I am telling the truth I would get the PO by myself. Until I found out my ex hired a lawyer against me the 1st time I need to face him in court. The lawyer talked in law terms I didn't understand. He asked me to sign a private agreement that I felt huge pressure from him. I managed to say no but desperately need professional help. I started sending emails to attorneys & firms enclosed with brief information of the case. Half of them didn't bother to respond, another half sent me the quotation for consultation without telling me whether they would take my case, nor what they think about my case. Nothing. Briteney was the only attorney that is so responsible: offering free consultation, explaining the procedures, telling me her opinion as a attorney & what would be my option. I hired her with no doubt. We did it! The judge grant us the PO. It's actually way harder than I thought to get the PO because my ex was so afraid the PO would effect his decent job, so he tried all he could to stop me from getting it. For someone like me who had never been through this, it could be a torture. However, Briteney being a such strong supporter from the beginning. Her professional also ease my anxiety, since we had well communication. She would always let me know what we are facing & what we are going to do. I appreciate of her help.
If I could give Brit Mercer 20 stars I would!!! I hired Brit Mercer several years ago for my son who was getting into trouble left and right at the time. At the highest point, he had hearings at five different courts for several cases--it was all over the board. Needless to say, he was fairly young and our family hoped for a better future for him and sought out a criminal defense attorney. Words cannot express how grateful I am for Brit and her work and her continuous support with 500% attention to my son's well-being. I hired some other attorneys at the time as each was a case by case situation and ended up combining all into one--Brit Mercer. Brit had a deep, grounded and very wise decision to take all the cases as a 'Global' approach. Brit was present in each court appearance for my son which is quite a bit for anyone, especially when he had four+ hearings in a month, over a period of several years. She is not only super sharp moving through what was best for my son but also very engaged, thoughtful and supportive. The outcome of each one of my son's cases has been resolved well. He has zero felonies and now is moving toward a better life for himself. This positive outcome may not have been possible if Brit Mercer did not represent my son. Also, as I have mentioned, my son had to appear in several different courts. During the several years of appearing at the various courts, I could tell Brit was very well respected by each court; judges, prosecuting attorneys, and staff at each and every one. Brit is purely a win-win!
Brit Mercer represented me in 2019. I was in a Lose-Lose situation. Other attorneys refused to represent me because there was no way they could help me. Brit took on my case. She helped guide me from a state of despair and thoughts of suicide, to hope. She always communicated with me regardless of how often I contacted her. I was facing years in jail and loss of life as I knew it. Brit guided me through the fear and doubt. She new the standard approach to my DUI was not going to do anything for me. Instead she studied me. Saw something deeper inside me was wrong. She cared. And thought outside the box. She found something that could help me. And she dove in and went above and beyond anything I would expect an attorney to do for their clients. Brit Mercer saved my life in many ways. Without her in my corner, I have no doubt my life would have been ripped away from me. Brit had the respect of her peers, the Prosecutor, and the judge. They listened to her. She found the experts who testified that made all the difference. She is by far the only attorney I would recommend. Not only did she create an outcome that was truly impossible to foresee at the beginning, but without a miss she has kept up with me, reminded me of obligations that I still have, and just believes in me. Brit was never one to give me false hope. She always came at me with the facts and what I was facing. No matter how hard those words were to hear especially at the beginning. But her perseverance to help and to save me won out. I will be forever grateful to Brit Mercer. I feel I will always be in her debt. I’m happy this forum is available so I can tell her thank you once again from the bottom of my heart. If you or a loved one finds themselves in serious DUI or any other situation, you will find NO ONE better. I promise you this. And the help she found for me changed my life for the better.
I had a misunderstanding with some government legal forms. Evidently I filled out the forms incorrectly, and all of a sudden, I was informed through the court system that I now have a legal problem. I connected with Briteney Mercer, and couldn't have been happier. All of this happened during the Covid lockdown, so we talked on the phone and e-mail, and she guided me through the sequence of events that would play out. She was very professional & knowledgeable, attentive & a great listener to what my issue was. She immediately put my mind at ease about the legal processes and expertly explained the sequence of events that was going to play out. She got my case Dismissed, without incident, and that was a tremendous relief to me. I would recommend Briteney to anyone needing legal help. She was excellent.
Let's be honest, in a perfect world, we would never have needed a defense attorney. Unfortunately, our son has made choices that required us to first seek out an attorney for Minor in Possession and Theft charges. We were truly fortunate to have connections in the law community that led us to Ms. Mercer. In just our first meeting, we all felt a sense of "this is the right attorney for us" - a sense that has deepened. Ms. Mercer was clearly skilled and quite capable of handling our son's case, but more than that, she exhibited true compassion for our son and for us. When all was said and done, Ms. Mercer was able to secure a very favorable outcome for our son, which we wish had marked the end of our relationship with her. Unfortunately, our son was charged with a much more significant charge, DUI, just as his first case was wrapping up! I actually reached out to Ms. Mercer on Thanksgiving Day, not expecting a response on that date. But, Ms. Mercer responded almost immediately, both to accept the case, but more significantly to inquire about our son's physical well-being and our emotional well-being. It was extraordinary! Over the course of waiting for action by the court, our son finally recognized that he needed help. I reached out to Ms. Mercer simply to notify her that our son may be going into treatment and to determine the ramifications from a legal standpoint. Ms. Mercer said "the case is secondary to your son's well-being - do what is needed, I will take care of the case." Again, extraordinary! She also provided us with the name of a person who helps families find the best treatment options. We reached out and that person was invaluable. As with the first case, Ms. Mercer was able to secure a very favorable outcome for our son. Thanks to our son's recognition that he needed help and Ms. Mercer's recommendation, our son is on his way to a healthy life. My husband, my son and I will forever be grateful for Ms. Mercer, both as an attorney and as a person.
Brit has been an amazing attorney for me, my family and friends. Always very accessible. Her knowledge of not only the law, but of many of the local courts (judges, DA's and attorneys) is invaluable. She has represented my interests in cases favorably 100% of the time, thus why she's my GO-TO attorney. Highly recommend as I have to other friends who have had the same experience as me.
From our very first conversation, Brit Mercer made me feel less anxious and more confident about my legal situation. Her expertise and her calm demeanor gave me strength that I needed in a time when I was feeling very scared and unsure. She was incredibly respectful, professional, efficient, communicative, and honest with me. She even answered my questions and helped me with anything I needed post DUI. She is an incredible lawyer who knows what she is doing and is highly effective at her job.

Her professional also ease my anxiety, since we had well communication. She would always let me know what we are facing & what we are going to do. I appreciate of her help.
If I could give Brit Mercer 20 stars I would!!! I hired Brit Mercer several years ago for my son who was getting into trouble left and right at the time. At the highest point, he had hearings at five different courts for several cases--it was all over the board. Needless to say, he was fairly young and our family hoped for a better future for him and sought out a criminal defense attorney. Words cannot express how grateful I am for Brit and her work and her continuous support with 500% attention to my son's well-being. I hired some other attorneys at the time as each was a case by case situation and ended up combining all into one--Brit Mercer. Brit had a deep, grounded and very wise decision to take all the cases as a 'Global' approach. Brit was present in each court appearance for my son which is quite a bit for anyone, especially when he had four+ hearings in a month, over a period of several years. She is not only super sharp moving through what was best for my son but also very engaged, thoughtful and supportive. The outcome of each one of my son's cases has been resolved well. He has zero felonies and now is moving toward a better life for himself. This positive outcome may not have been possible if Brit Mercer did not represent my son. Also, as I have mentioned, my son had to appear in several different courts. During the several years of appearing at the various courts, I could tell Brit was very well respected by each court; judges, prosecuting attorneys, and staff at each and every one. Brit is purely a win-win!
Brit Mercer represented me in 2019. I was in a Lose-Lose situation. Other attorneys refused to represent me because there was no way they could help me. Brit took on my case. She helped guide me from a state of despair and thoughts of suicide, to hope. She always communicated with me regardless of how often I contacted her. I was facing years in jail and loss of life as I knew it. Brit guided me through the fear and doubt. She new the standard approach to my DUI was not going to do anything for me. Instead she studied me. Saw something deeper inside me was wrong. She cared. And thought outside the box. She found something that could help me. And she dove in and went above and beyond anything I would expect an attorney to do for their clients. Brit Mercer saved my life in many ways. Without her in my corner, I have no doubt my life would have been ripped away from me. Brit had the respect of her peers, the Prosecutor, and the judge. They listened to her. She found the experts who testified that made all the difference. She is by far the only attorney I would recommend. Not only did she create an outcome that was truly impossible to foresee at the beginning, but without a miss she has kept up with me, reminded me of obligations that I still have, and just believes in me. Brit was never one to give me false hope. She always came at me with the facts and what I was facing. No matter how hard those words were to hear especially at the beginning. But her perseverance to help and to save me won out. I will be forever grateful to Brit Mercer. I feel I will always be in her debt. I’m happy this forum is available so I can tell her thank you once again from the bottom of my heart. If you or a loved one finds themselves in serious DUI or any other situation, you will find NO ONE better. I promise you this. And the help she found for me changed my life for the better.
I had a misunderstanding with some government legal forms. Evidently I filled out the forms incorrectly, and all of a sudden, I was informed through the court system that I now have a legal problem. I connected with Briteney Mercer, and couldn't have been happier. All of this happened during the Covid lockdown, so we talked on the phone and e-mail, and she guided me through the sequence of events that would play out. She was very professional & knowledgeable, attentive & a great listener to what my issue was. She immediately put my mind at ease about the legal processes and expertly explained the sequence of events that was going to play out. She got my case Dismissed, without incident, and that was a tremendous relief to me. I would recommend Briteney to anyone needing legal help. She was excellent.
Let's be honest, in a perfect world, we would never have needed a defense attorney. Unfortunately, our son has made choices that required us to first seek out an attorney for Minor in Possession and Theft charges. We were truly fortunate to have connections in the law community that led us to Ms. Mercer. In just our first meeting, we all felt a sense of "this is the right attorney for us" - a sense that has deepened. Ms. Mercer was clearly skilled and quite capable of handling our son's case, but more than that, she exhibited true compassion for our son and for us. When all was said and done, Ms. Mercer was able to secure a very favorable outcome for our son, which we wish had marked the end of our relationship with her. Unfortunately, our son was charged with a much more significant charge, DUI, just as his first case was wrapping up! I actually reached out to Ms. Mercer on Thanksgiving Day, not expecting a response on that date. But, Ms. Mercer responded almost immediately, both to accept the case, but more significantly to inquire about our son's physical well-being and our emotional well-being. It was extraordinary! Over the course of waiting for action by the court, our son finally recognized that he needed help. I reached out to Ms. Mercer simply to notify her that our son may be going into treatment and to determine the ramifications from a legal standpoint. Ms. Mercer said "the case is secondary to your son's well-being - do what is needed, I will take care of the case." Again, extraordinary! She also provided us with the name of a person who helps families find the best treatment options. We reached out and that person was invaluable. As with the first case, Ms. Mercer was able to secure a very favorable outcome for our son. Thanks to our son's recognition that he needed help and Ms. Mercer's recommendation, our son is on his way to a healthy life. My husband, my son and I will forever be grateful for Ms. Mercer, both as an attorney and as a person.
Brit has been an amazing attorney for me, my family and friends. Always very accessible. Her knowledge of not only the law, but of many of the local courts (judges, DA's and attorneys) is invaluable. She has represented my interests in cases favorably 100% of the time, thus why she's my GO-TO attorney. Highly recommend as I have to other friends who have had the same experience as me.
From our very first conversation, Brit Mercer made me feel less anxious and more confident about my legal situation. Her expertise and her calm demeanor gave me strength that I needed in a time when I was feeling very scared and unsure. She was incredibly respectful, professional, efficient, communicative, and honest with me. She even answered my questions and helped me with anything I needed post DUI. She is an incredible lawyer who knows what she is doing and is highly effective at her job.
I was arrested for a hit and run that I did not think I committed. The experience of being arrested created a kind of identity vertigo -- I had always thought if arrested it would be for a protest of some kind, not an act of presumed cowardice. Brit returned my call as she was getting on an airplane and her kindness and clear competence immediately gave me both hope and grounded me in reality of my situation. When we met, she quickly grasped the situation, prepared and then delivered on a successful legal strategy that was built on integrity, a firm mastery of the law and strong relationships within the local justice system. I wish everyone who needed help in the justice system could have as fine a lawyer as I felt blessed to have in Brit. Five stars is not enough.
We hired Brit to help with charges against my daughter. Brit was able to have the charges "reinstated" even after time had elapsed that would make those charges stick. Brit negotiated with the DA's office and convinced them to not close the cases, and penalize my daughter. The cases were misdemeanors, and after Brit represented us in court, she was able to reinstate the original probation terms and after 6 months of adherence to the judge's orders my daughters charges were dismissed...!!! Brit did a fantastic job representing us, and was on top of the entire situation...!! If ever I need a defense attorney again in King County, Brit will be the VERY first person I will call...!!
I cannot express how grateful I am for having chose Brit Mercer to represent me in what is truly a life challenging situation, Brit made every situation the best it could be. Her caring demeanor, confidence, strength and expertise are exemplimary. She is someone I highly respect and her professionalism in the courts and to myself are extraordinary. I cannot imagine working with anyone else. Brit is the best of the best and she does it will heart, grit and passion for her clientele and to honor her profession. I am forever changed and forever grateful. I highly recommend Brit.
Getting Protection Order: I was harrassed by my ex after we broke up. He kept showing up at my place, knocking on my front door, my backyard door & my bedroom windows... whenever he wanted. I was so scared & figured getting the Protection Order can keep him away. I was naïve enough to think as long as I am telling the truth I would get the PO by myself. Until I found out my ex hired a lawyer against me the 1st time I need to face him in court. The lawyer talked in law terms I didn't understand. He asked me to sign a private agreement that I felt huge pressure from him. I managed to say no but desperately need professional help. I started sending emails to attorneys & firms enclosed with brief information of the case. Half of them didn't bother to respond, another half sent me the quotation for consultation without telling me whether they would take my case, nor what they think about my case. Nothing. Briteney was the only attorney that is so responsible: offering free consultation, explaining the procedures, telling me her opinion as a attorney & what would be my option. I hired her with no doubt. We did it! The judge grant us the PO. It's actually way harder than I thought to get the PO because my ex was so afraid the PO would effect his decent job, so he tried all he could to stop me from getting it. For someone like me who had never been through this, it could be a torture. However, Briteney being a such strong supporter from the beginning.
