Merris & Naugle, PLLC

Cathy is a very knowledgeable and up front attorney and very understanding. Constantly keeping me updated. The best feeling knowing you have an expert in this field on your side. I am one to do my research on most things and after my research of just about every attorney in that area Cathy is definitely most qualified and extremely good at what she does. I would 100% recommend her to anyone who needs counsel for custody and family matters.

Through her knowledge and experience, my case was a success. The opponent's attorney continually came to her for advice. The other attorney was known to be one of the best in the area because of her shrewd antics and theatrical emotional upheavals. Cathy remained professional and only dealt with the important issues, she saw through all the noise and could focus on what a judge was interested in hearing. She also has experience as a judge. She educated me in how to be successful in court honestly and without theatrics. Cathy is brutal in her honesty, but this kept my case clean and when it was time to go to court, we had solid, irrefutable evidence that the other party could not deny and settled out of court. My ex's attorney tried to belittle and scare me personally, she told her client not to budge on anything and she focused on pointless issues. Cathy did not look to destroy the other person, but to achieve the justice that was deserved. Her cool demeanor and confidence coincides with her knowledge and experience, making her law practice powerful. She also has an amazing staff that is very experienced, professional and kind through a difficult case. This was an emotionally charged case (as most custody battles), but the Naugle office was ready and capable. I came out on top and feeling great. That was an understatement.... I got everything!!

I contacted Cathy in desperation, seeking for competent legal counsel. In the few minutes she spent on the phone with me, she informed me that she was unable to take on new cases, but gave me sound advice on how to proceed, and referrals of lawyers she recommended. Just from our brief interaction, she instilled in me a hope that I could find an advocate to help me receive justice from an inequitable judgement. Amazing!!

Haven’t retained her yet but definitely will! Made me super comfortable just from the phone call!
