Leave a review about your experience with this lawyer.responsive, well done work with explaining employment law and helping with an employment contract amendment.
Merritt Green's counsel in regard to meeting the requirements for submission of my Workplace Accommodation Request with my employer was invaluable. He was very professional, very responsive, objective and concise in his advice and counsel. I would return for any additional and future work that pertained to any of his areas of expertise!
I was introduced to Merritt by a common contact and it turned out to be a fantastic referral. He handled my case with compassion and professionalism that I’ve never seen before. I wouldn’t have the positive outcome without him. I recommend him without hesitation!
Mr. Green was absolutely amazing, he was quick to respond and happy to assist in my legal matter. He is super knowledgeable attorney and his communication and responsiveness made me feel at ease. Definitely did not make the process feel lengthy or stressful.
I’m very grateful Merritt took on my case. He took the time to learn as much as possible about me and every detail of the case. He was straight-forward about what issues could be pursued and which were less likely to be successful to best use our time and build the strongest case possible. He set realistic expectations and explained everything throughout the process. He aggressively pursued a settlement and brought the case to resolution. He has a great team and they care about their clients. I felt they were looking out for my best interest.
Mr. Green was referred to me by a mutual contact, who said, "I'm connected to many employment lawyers, but I only recommend Merritt Green...great character and professional competence." My contact was right: Mr. Green's professionalism and exceptional responsiveness are truly unmatched. He gave sound advice and support throughout a challenging process, drawing on his many years of experience. He served as a well-balanced voice of reason whenever needed. I highly recommend him and his team, and would feel confident to call on him again should the need arise. Mr. Green is a great, reliable legal resource to have on your side!
Merritt is incredibly talented and knowledgeable. We went from a few hours on a small project to weekly calls to consult on many different issues for our growing business. Merritt is always prepared and ready to help when needed. We cannot recommend him enough.
I found myself in a situation where my former employer was suing me for monetary compensation and a non-compete clause. Mr. Merritt Green and his associate, Mr. Andrew Baxter were very knowledgeable in employment law as it pertains to Federal contractors and the Commonwealth of Virginia. They were able to settle the case to my satisfaction without court time. I would recommend this firm to anyone in a similar situation.
Mr. Green handled my case in a very professional and capable manner. He explained the possible outcomes in advance and worked hard to get to the desired one. He handled the negotiations adroitly with the other party to get to an acceptable result.
