Michelle Merson, Esq., graduated from Nova Southeastern University’s College of Law in 1992. Worked side by side with a prominent criminal defense attorney for 15 years and 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 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.” 

“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.”
