Steve expertly navigated my very contentious divorce. He had my best interest and that of my children in mind at all times. He was anticipatory, on task, easily accessible and compassionate. He maintained productivity and a calm demeanor even while enduring repeated personal threats and provocations. Thank you for being a kind, capable calm in the storm of a difficult divorce.

I have hired Steve Merker over the last fifteen years. I have had nothing but greatness come from this attorney. He really cares about his clients. When my son turned 24, he hired Steve Merker to obtain custody of my granddaughter . A++++++

Mr. Merker has been representing me since 2013. Mr, Merker is experienced, knowledgeable with the court system, custody. I highly recommend Mr. Merker as one of the best divorce attornies in San Diego. My divorce was finalized in 2012 and financially did not get much settlement, because I hired an attorney who overcharged and did not care. Ex-took me back to court to fighting for full custody of children until 2015. Mr. I hired Mr. Merker, and he won the court trials which lasted two years with evidence and facts. We worked as a team; I respect his character, honesty, and knowledge of the judicial system, he supported me with wisdom dealing ex and hurting children. If you are looking for an attorney who is honest and can trust, let Mr. Merker represent your case.

My divorce was a relatively straight forward process with Mr Merkers guidance. It was when we began the custody proceedings that Mr Merkers experience and compassion really proved invaluable. Mr Merker always considered my children's best interests when it came to custody issues with thier mother. He proved to not only be a fantastic lawyer but also a trusted confidant on how to deal with the very emotional process of child custody. Today I enjoy a relationship with my two daughters that I did not have at the time of the divorce, as a direct result of Mr Merkers attention to detail and guidance thru the process.

When my ex husband and I decided to Divorce we wanted a fair and reasonable option. I recommend a Medator first before a Divorce lawyer. Mr. Merker was a referral from a friend. He was professional, fast and above all fair. All of our questions were answered and he had great information on Family law as well. Don't think twice and schedule a consultation.

Steve Merker was my representation for my divorce. I had been married 10 years, and the ex pretty much wanted the farm. And the kids. And the cars. And the bank account. And the boat. And the business. And the furniture. Well, after 2 grueling years, we had a very fair split, 50/50. Actually, I probably came out on top, if there is such a thing as winning a divorce. Steve is very, very knowledgeable, very trustworthy, and most importantly, very honest and experienced. He can certainly help get things done in an expedient manner, no games that cost you never ending payments, and he does not look to keep the situation flared up. He will work diligently on a resolution, in which the parties feel things are fair, but most importantly, where the main players (the kids) are handled properly.

I highly recommend Mr Merker to handle your divorce or after divorce matter. I have hired Mr Merker after my horrible divorce , not just I lost the case but spent so much on the legal fees with previous divorce lawyer. Mr Merker is calm and trustworthy and not focus on making money off the case but truly helped me to settled the case for my best interest. Also when we went to the court, he negotiated case with my ex's attorney before the judge and presented the case, which he received the respect and the support from the Judge to our favor. It has been a very pleasant experience working with his legal assistant and Mr Merker and I can call his office most of any time and they are available to help me. I truly respect his knowledge, character and experience.

When I first met Steve Merker, it was looking like my ex was going to prevail in all areas of our divorce. My original attorney expended my $4,000 retainer the very 1st week and then told me I better do what my ex says because the ball is in his court, while asking for more money! Steve saved my life!, my house!, my child!, my money!, and my reputation!, and did it all while charging me very affordable legal fees. After I hired Steve, not only did he assure me that my ex did not have the upper hand, but in the end he got me a deal that i never would ve expected to get, period! It was better than I could hope for! I attribute his success in dealing with my lying ex and his obnoxious attorney to Steve s phenomenal proficiency in his field, his confident demeanor, and his ability to always maintain composure and focus on the issues, thwarting intimidation. He is not in it to win by personal attacks and defamation. Steve wasnt just my legal rep, he truly cared about me! He was always very comforting and showed empathy for me. It never felt like he was protecting my interests for the money, if felt like having a great mentor! Mine was a tricky case due to my job. Steve wasnt taken aback by it at all, he never put any fear into me that it may hurt my case, like my 1st attorney did. He assured me that he wont let anyone discriminate against me and he kept his word. I got a great outcome with both property and child custody and I got it all w/o bankrupting myself in legal fees!

I had to fight for my rights and nudge him to deliver my requests to the judge. Even though I brought my findings to him, it seemed that in some cases he wanted not to disclose that info. As I hired him to be my divorce lawyer, I felt that he also wanted what's best for the ex. I felt like I had a 3/4 lawyer working for me and my ex had a lawyer 1-1/2 working for her. If mr. Merker wants to have compassion for his clients divorcing partners, he shouldn't be a divorce lawyer. I believe that had I hired my ex's lawyer the outcome would have been fair.

Mr. Merker has been representing me since 2013. Mr, Merker is experienced, knowledgeable with the court system, custody. I highly recommend Mr. Merker as one of the best divorce attornies in San Diego. My divorce was finalized in 2012 and financially did not get much settlement, because I hired an attorney who overcharged and did not care. Ex-took me back to court to fighting for full custody of children until 2015. Mr. I hired Mr. Merker, and he won the court trials which lasted two years with evidence and facts. We worked as a team; I respect his character, honesty, and knowledge of the judicial system, he supported me with wisdom dealing ex and hurting children. If you are looking for an attorney who is honest and can trust, let Mr. Merker represent your case.

My divorce was a relatively straight forward process with Mr Merkers guidance. It was when we began the custody proceedings that Mr Merkers experience and compassion really proved invaluable. Mr Merker always considered my children's best interests when it came to custody issues with thier mother. He proved to not only be a fantastic lawyer but also a trusted confidant on how to deal with the very emotional process of child custody. Today I enjoy a relationship with my two daughters that I did not have at the time of the divorce, as a direct result of Mr Merkers attention to detail and guidance thru the process.

When my ex husband and I decided to Divorce we wanted a fair and reasonable option. I recommend a Medator first before a Divorce lawyer. Mr. Merker was a referral from a friend. He was professional, fast and above all fair. All of our questions were answered and he had great information on Family law as well. Don't think twice and schedule a consultation.

Steve Merker was my representation for my divorce. I had been married 10 years, and the ex pretty much wanted the farm. And the kids. And the cars. And the bank account. And the boat. And the business. And the furniture. Well, after 2 grueling years, we had a very fair split, 50/50. Actually, I probably came out on top, if there is such a thing as winning a divorce. Steve is very, very knowledgeable, very trustworthy, and most importantly, very honest and experienced. He can certainly help get things done in an expedient manner, no games that cost you never ending payments, and he does not look to keep the situation flared up. He will work diligently on a resolution, in which the parties feel things are fair, but most importantly, where the main players (the kids) are handled properly.

I highly recommend Mr Merker to handle your divorce or after divorce matter. I have hired Mr Merker after my horrible divorce , not just I lost the case but spent so much on the legal fees with previous divorce lawyer. Mr Merker is calm and trustworthy and not focus on making money off the case but truly helped me to settled the case for my best interest. Also when we went to the court, he negotiated case with my ex's attorney before the judge and presented the case, which he received the respect and the support from the Judge to our favor. It has been a very pleasant experience working with his legal assistant and Mr Merker and I can call his office most of any time and they are available to help me. I truly respect his knowledge, character and experience.

When I first met Steve Merker, it was looking like my ex was going to prevail in all areas of our divorce. My original attorney expended my $4,000 retainer the very 1st week and then told me I better do what my ex says because the ball is in his court, while asking for more money! Steve saved my life!, my house!, my child!, my money!, and my reputation!, and did it all while charging me very affordable legal fees. After I hired Steve, not only did he assure me that my ex did not have the upper hand, but in the end he got me a deal that i never would ve expected to get, period! It was better than I could hope for! I attribute his success in dealing with my lying ex and his obnoxious attorney to Steve s phenomenal proficiency in his field, his confident demeanor, and his ability to always maintain composure and focus on the issues, thwarting intimidation. He is not in it to win by personal attacks and defamation. Steve wasnt just my legal rep, he truly cared about me! He was always very comforting and showed empathy for me. It never felt like he was protecting my interests for the money, if felt like having a great mentor! Mine was a tricky case due to my job. Steve wasnt taken aback by it at all, he never put any fear into me that it may hurt my case, like my 1st attorney did. He assured me that he wont let anyone discriminate against me and he kept his word. I got a great outcome with both property and child custody and I got it all w/o bankrupting myself in legal fees!

I had to fight for my rights and nudge him to deliver my requests to the judge. Even though I brought my findings to him, it seemed that in some cases he wanted not to disclose that info. As I hired him to be my divorce lawyer, I felt that he also wanted what's best for the ex. I felt like I had a 3/4 lawyer working for me and my ex had a lawyer 1-1/2 working for her. If mr. Merker wants to have compassion for his clients divorcing partners, he shouldn't be a divorce lawyer. I believe that had I hired my ex's lawyer the outcome would have been fair.

Steve expertly navigated my very contentious divorce. He had my best interest and that of my children in mind at all times. He was anticipatory, on task, easily accessible and compassionate. He maintained productivity and a calm demeanor even while enduring repeated personal threats and provocations. Thank you for being a kind, capable calm in the storm of a difficult divorce.

Today I enjoy a relationship with my two daughters that I did not have at the time of the divorce, as a direct result of Mr Merkers attention to detail and guidance thru the process.

When my ex husband and I decided to Divorce we wanted a fair and reasonable option. I recommend a Medator first before a Divorce lawyer. Mr. Merker was a referral from a friend. He was professional, fast and above all fair. All of our questions were answered and he had great information on Family law as well. Don't think twice and schedule a consultation.

Steve Merker was my representation for my divorce. I had been married 10 years, and the ex pretty much wanted the farm. And the kids. And the cars. And the bank account. And the boat. And the business. And the furniture. Well, after 2 grueling years, we had a very fair split, 50/50. Actually, I probably came out on top, if there is such a thing as winning a divorce. Steve is very, very knowledgeable, very trustworthy, and most importantly, very honest and experienced. He can certainly help get things done in an expedient manner, no games that cost you never ending payments, and he does not look to keep the situation flared up. He will work diligently on a resolution, in which the parties feel things are fair, but most importantly, where the main players (the kids) are handled properly.

I highly recommend Mr Merker to handle your divorce or after divorce matter. I have hired Mr Merker after my horrible divorce , not just I lost the case but spent so much on the legal fees with previous divorce lawyer. Mr Merker is calm and trustworthy and not focus on making money off the case but truly helped me to settled the case for my best interest. Also when we went to the court, he negotiated case with my ex's attorney before the judge and presented the case, which he received the respect and the support from the Judge to our favor. It has been a very pleasant experience working with his legal assistant and Mr Merker and I can call his office most of any time and they are available to help me. I truly respect his knowledge, character and experience.

When I first met Steve Merker, it was looking like my ex was going to prevail in all areas of our divorce. My original attorney expended my $4,000 retainer the very 1st week and then told me I better do what my ex says because the ball is in his court, while asking for more money! Steve saved my life!, my house!, my child!, my money!, and my reputation!, and did it all while charging me very affordable legal fees. After I hired Steve, not only did he assure me that my ex did not have the upper hand, but in the end he got me a deal that i never would ve expected to get, period! It was better than I could hope for! I attribute his success in dealing with my lying ex and his obnoxious attorney to Steve s phenomenal proficiency in his field, his confident demeanor, and his ability to always maintain composure and focus on the issues, thwarting intimidation. He is not in it to win by personal attacks and defamation. Steve wasnt just my legal rep, he truly cared about me! He was always very comforting and showed empathy for me. It never felt like he was protecting my interests for the money, if felt like having a great mentor! Mine was a tricky case due to my job. Steve wasnt taken aback by it at all, he never put any fear into me that it may hurt my case, like my 1st attorney did. He assured me that he wont let anyone discriminate against me and he kept his word. I got a great outcome with both property and child custody and I got it all w/o bankrupting myself in legal fees!

I had to fight for my rights and nudge him to deliver my requests to the judge. Even though I brought my findings to him, it seemed that in some cases he wanted not to disclose that info. As I hired him to be my divorce lawyer, I felt that he also wanted what's best for the ex. I felt like I had a 3/4 lawyer working for me and my ex had a lawyer 1-1/2 working for her. If mr. Merker wants to have compassion for his clients divorcing partners, he shouldn't be a divorce lawyer. I believe that had I hired my ex's lawyer the outcome would have been fair.

Steve expertly navigated my very contentious divorce. He had my best interest and that of my children in mind at all times. He was anticipatory, on task, easily accessible and compassionate. He maintained productivity and a calm demeanor even while enduring repeated personal threats and provocations. Thank you for being a kind, capable calm in the storm of a difficult divorce.

Steve is very, very knowledgeable, very trustworthy, and most importantly, very honest and experienced. He can certainly help get things done in an expedient manner, no games that cost you never ending payments, and he does not look to keep the situation flared up. He will work diligently on a resolution, in which the parties feel things are fair, but most importantly, where the main players (the kids) are handled properly.

So as an attorney, I did not want to have a fool for a client. Mr. Merker handled my dissolution about as seamlessly as can be done. Highly recommended A++++

I highly recommend Mr Merker to handle your divorce or after divorce matter. I have hired Mr Merker after my horrible divorce , not just I lost the case but spent so much on the legal fees with previous divorce lawyer. Mr Merker is calm and trustworthy and not focus on making money off the case but truly helped me to settled the case for my best interest. Also when we went to the court, he negotiated case with my ex's attorney before the judge and presented the case, which he received the respect and the support from the Judge to our favor. It has been a very pleasant experience working with his legal assistant and Mr Merker and I can call his office most of any time and they are available to help me. I truly respect his knowledge, character and experience.

When I first met Steve Merker, it was looking like my ex was going to prevail in all areas of our divorce. My original attorney expended my $4,000 retainer the very 1st week and then told me I better do what my ex says because the ball is in his court, while asking for more money! Steve saved my life!, my house!, my child!, my money!, and my reputation!, and did it all while charging me very affordable legal fees. After I hired Steve, not only did he assure me that my ex did not have the upper hand, but in the end he got me a deal that i never would ve expected to get, period! It was better than I could hope for! I attribute his success in dealing with my lying ex and his obnoxious attorney to Steve s phenomenal proficiency in his field, his confident demeanor, and his ability to always maintain composure and focus on the issues, thwarting intimidation. He is not in it to win by personal attacks and defamation. Steve wasnt just my legal rep, he truly cared about me! He was always very comforting and showed empathy for me. It never felt like he was protecting my interests for the money, if felt like having a great mentor! Mine was a tricky case due to my job. Steve wasnt taken aback by it at all, he never put any fear into me that it may hurt my case, like my 1st attorney did. He assured me that he wont let anyone discriminate against me and he kept his word. I got a great outcome with both property and child custody and I got it all w/o bankrupting myself in legal fees!

I had to fight for my rights and nudge him to deliver my requests to the judge. Even though I brought my findings to him, it seemed that in some cases he wanted not to disclose that info. As I hired him to be my divorce lawyer, I felt that he also wanted what's best for the ex. I felt like I had a 3/4 lawyer working for me and my ex had a lawyer 1-1/2 working for her. If mr. Merker wants to have compassion for his clients divorcing partners, he shouldn't be a divorce lawyer. I believe that had I hired my ex's lawyer the outcome would have been fair.

Steve expertly navigated my very contentious divorce. He had my best interest and that of my children in mind at all times. He was anticipatory, on task, easily accessible and compassionate. He maintained productivity and a calm demeanor even while enduring repeated personal threats and provocations. Thank you for being a kind, capable calm in the storm of a difficult divorce.

Mr. Merker has been representing me since 2013. Mr, Merker is experienced, knowledgeable with the court system, custody. I highly recommend Mr. Merker as one of the best divorce attornies in San Diego. My divorce was finalized in 2012 and financially did not get much settlement, because I hired an attorney who overcharged and did not care. Ex-took me back to court to fighting for full custody of children until 2015. Mr. I hired Mr. Merker, and he won the court trials which lasted two years with evidence and facts. We worked as a team; I respect his character, honesty, and knowledge of the judicial system, he supported me with wisdom dealing ex and hurting children. If you are looking for an attorney who is honest and can trust, let Mr. Merker represent your case.

My divorce was a relatively straight forward process with Mr Merkers guidance. It was when we began the custody proceedings that Mr Merkers experience and compassion really proved invaluable. Mr Merker always considered my children's best interests when it came to custody issues with thier mother. He proved to not only be a fantastic lawyer but also a trusted confidant on how to deal with the very emotional process of child custody. Today I enjoy a relationship with my two daughters that I did not have at the time of the divorce, as a direct result of Mr Merkers attention to detail and guidance thru the process.

He was professional, fast and above all fair. All of our questions were answered and he had great information on Family law as well. Don't think twice and schedule a consultation.
