Attorney Merna took the time to understand my situation and then explain in easy to understand terms my options. He helped me to gain insight into not only my choices but went on to outline what each choice would look like. In the end, he was honest and explain why at this moment my case was not yet ready.

i used merna law for chapter 7, I was very embarrassed and felt like a failure, he explained everything well, and really fought for me. my credit was terrible i could not even get a car loan. he got my case discharged, explained how to build credit. 1 year later for approved for 1.4% car loan for five years. he is laid back, but knows his stuff. sadly i live in north carolina and they made a ruling after my case that we can no longer file in va, otherwise I would use the firm him 4 life

I was very impressed with John Merna when we first met. He was professional, but cool and casual and friendly. I immediately felt comfortable and confident that my bankruptcy would be over and done with as soon as possible and that I was doing the right thing. I already have and will continue to recommend The Merna Law Group to my friends and neighbors. I really liked how simple John made everything and I was surprised and impressed at how quickly it all happened. I expected my whole experience to be a big headache and instead I felt immediate relief as soon as I first met with John. Thanks :)

" Thank you for the patience and understanding shown through some of the most difficult times. I could not have found a better team and law firm. After trying other firms this one comes highly recommended when others said no and didn't have the time the Merna Law Group said life doesn't have to be that way let me show you why and they were right.

John put me totally at ease from the start. I left the office secure in the knowledge that he would win my bankruptcy case. It was resolved within a very short period of time, even though I was so busy I sent some of the paperwork in late! Thanks John for your patience!

I have recommended friends and family to this firm. I didn't expect when dealing with the two legal matters that I would receive the level of service that I did. Considering I'm not a lawyer, (but I play one on tV haha) I was nervous going into both situations and the knowledge and friendliness of the staff really put me at ease. Thank you John Merna and team for all you've done.

The Merna Law Group is one of the best law firms I ever experienced. I went to them at a stressful time where I had just gone through divorce, lost my job and financial distress in the same month. John Merna was not only professional and informative, but compassionate. This is a quality that not all attorney's have. He took the time to answer all of my concerns. I never felt rushed, he assured me that know question was insignificant. I was filing bankruptcy and felt overwhelmed when I went in but so confident and assured when I left his office.

i used merna law for chapter 7, I was very embarrassed and felt like a failure, he explained everything well, and really fought for me. my credit was terrible i could not even get a car loan. he got my case discharged, explained how to build credit. 1 year later for approved for 1.4% car loan for five years. he is laid back, but knows his stuff. sadly i live in north carolina and they made a ruling after my case that we can no longer file in va, otherwise I would use the firm him 4 life

I was very impressed with John Merna when we first met. He was professional, but cool and casual and friendly. I immediately felt comfortable and confident that my bankruptcy would be over and done with as soon as possible and that I was doing the right thing. I already have and will continue to recommend The Merna Law Group to my friends and neighbors. I really liked how simple John made everything and I was surprised and impressed at how quickly it all happened. I expected my whole experience to be a big headache and instead I felt immediate relief as soon as I first met with John. Thanks :)

" Thank you for the patience and understanding shown through some of the most difficult times. I could not have found a better team and law firm. After trying other firms this one comes highly recommended when others said no and didn't have the time the Merna Law Group said life doesn't have to be that way let me show you why and they were right.

John put me totally at ease from the start. I left the office secure in the knowledge that he would win my bankruptcy case. It was resolved within a very short period of time, even though I was so busy I sent some of the paperwork in late! Thanks John for your patience!

I have recommended friends and family to this firm. I didn't expect when dealing with the two legal matters that I would receive the level of service that I did. Considering I'm not a lawyer, (but I play one on tV haha) I was nervous going into both situations and the knowledge and friendliness of the staff really put me at ease. Thank you John Merna and team for all you've done.

I hired the firm of John Merna for some business matters. I found everyone in the office to be pleasant, friendly and very knowledgeable. My matters were handles very quickly, and professionally. I would definitely use again, and reccomend this firm to anyone that needs a professional, excellent attorney.

The Merna Law Group is one of the best law firms I ever experienced. I went to them at a stressful time where I had just gone through divorce, lost my job and financial distress in the same month. John Merna was not only professional and informative, but compassionate. This is a quality that not all attorney's have. He took the time to answer all of my concerns. I never felt rushed, he assured me that know question was insignificant. I was filing bankruptcy and felt overwhelmed when I went in but so confident and assured when I left his office.

Attorney Merna took the time to understand my situation and then explain in easy to understand terms my options. He helped me to gain insight into not only my choices but went on to outline what each choice would look like. In the end, he was honest and explain why at this moment my case was not yet ready.

John put me totally at ease from the start. I left the office secure in the knowledge that he would win my bankruptcy case. It was resolved within a very short period of time, even though I was so busy I sent some of the paperwork in late! Thanks John for your patience!

I have recommended friends and family to this firm. I didn't expect when dealing with the two legal matters that I would receive the level of service that I did. Considering I'm not a lawyer, (but I play one on tV haha) I was nervous going into both situations and the knowledge and friendliness of the staff really put me at ease. Thank you John Merna and team for all you've done.

I hired the firm of John Merna for some business matters. I found everyone in the office to be pleasant, friendly and very knowledgeable. My matters were handles very quickly, and professionally. I would definitely use again, and reccomend this firm to anyone that needs a professional, excellent attorney.

The Merna Law Group is one of the best law firms I ever experienced. I went to them at a stressful time where I had just gone through divorce, lost my job and financial distress in the same month. John Merna was not only professional and informative, but compassionate. This is a quality that not all attorney's have. He took the time to answer all of my concerns. I never felt rushed, he assured me that know question was insignificant. I was filing bankruptcy and felt overwhelmed when I went in but so confident and assured when I left his office.

Attorney Merna took the time to understand my situation and then explain in easy to understand terms my options. He helped me to gain insight into not only my choices but went on to outline what each choice would look like. In the end, he was honest and explain why at this moment my case was not yet ready.

i used merna law for chapter 7, I was very embarrassed and felt like a failure, he explained everything well, and really fought for me. my credit was terrible i could not even get a car loan. he got my case discharged, explained how to build credit. 1 year later for approved for 1.4% car loan for five years. he is laid back, but knows his stuff. sadly i live in north carolina and they made a ruling after my case that we can no longer file in va, otherwise I would use the firm him 4 life

I was very impressed with John Merna when we first met. He was professional, but cool and casual and friendly. I immediately felt comfortable and confident that my bankruptcy would be over and done with as soon as possible and that I was doing the right thing. I already have and will continue to recommend The Merna Law Group to my friends and neighbors. I really liked how simple John made everything and I was surprised and impressed at how quickly it all happened. I expected my whole experience to be a big headache and instead I felt immediate relief as soon as I first met with John. Thanks :)

" Thank you for the patience and understanding shown through some of the most difficult times. I could not have found a better team and law firm. After trying other firms this one comes highly recommended when others said no and didn't have the time the Merna Law Group said life doesn't have to be that way let me show you why and they were right.
