About Law Firm

Michelle Merson, Esq. graduated from Nova Southeastern University School of Law in 1992. Working side-by-side with a prominent criminal defense attorney for the past ten years, she has been involved with virtually every type of criminal defense case. While Michelle has a broad base of experience that encompasses all aspects of criminal law, she has chosen to focus her practice on only misdemeanors. Why? “My experience has shown me that misdemeanor cases are routinely not given the priority they deserve,” Michelle explains. “I feel a need to provide these often forgotten clients with a high level of personal service and attention.”

Because she realizes that a person charged with a misdemeanor is just as scared as a person charged with a felony, Michelle treats each misdemeanor case with the utmost importance.

“I am committed to taking great care of each of my clients,” Michelle says. “I grew up in the South where compassion, respect and listening to others is second nature.  I bring those values to bear on my relationships with my clients."

Though the majority of her cases are in Palm Beach, Broward, and Miami-Dade, she has also effectively represented clients in other Florida counties with favorable resolutions.

Michelle is now a board member of Florida association of women lawyers south palm beach county chapter .

Michelle is great. She was able to help me get through a period that was very uncertain. It was a journey on my end but she made it ultimately worth it. Now, I am able to move on with the next chapter in my life. She made that possible. She is very attentive, caring, and compassionate. She WILL take care of you. Thanks, Michelle!

Michelle Merson and her team did an excellent job assisting me with my situation. The pricing was fair and they took time to answer all my questions during the whole process. I also want to give a special thanks to Monica and Emmy for all they did as well. I highly recommend The Misdemeanor Clinic!!!!!!

I would definitely not recommend this law firm whatsoever. Michelle Merson did my initial consultation and convinced me that I needed her help on my case and handled the first hearing and then passed me off to a lawyer named Nicolas Torres who was horrible. I ended up getting arrested and he spoke with me and told me multiple times that he would be coming to visit me or setup a call with me and never came. This happened at least 4 times. I can honestly say that my public defender that was handling another case of mine did more for me in 15 mins than my attorneys did for me over several months. All they will do is put you on what they say is an affordable monthly payment plan and keep asking for continuances which makes it seems as if they are just looking to collect your money and not resolve the case as initially promised. All communication with the lawyer was with my girlfriend and not even myself. There was no bond on the case and I sat in there for 42 days and only spoke with the attorney my first 4 days in. Also the worst most incompetent part is that Mr. Torres filed an “emergency” motion that took 3 weeks longer than promised for a bond hearing that even if it would have gotten approved was totally irrelevant because the other charge I had there was no bond on. Any lawyer should have known this and even the judge and prosecutor told him that this motion was pointless. Very unorganized and unprofessional. They would appear for me on Zoom hearings and not even follow up with me afterwards to keep me updated on what the status of the case was, however they will call first thing in the morning if your payment doesn’t go through for the month. (I updated banking information) To say the least I would never waste my money on this firm again. I will utilize a public defender who once again did more in 15 mins for me that they did in 10 months. DO NOT HIRE!
