I have had the opportunity to work with Mervyn for the past several years in several aspects of my cases (related to marriage and family law). Not only is Mervyn extremely knowledgeable in the space, he also has a great network, and is always thinking two steps ahead to get ahead of potential obstacles before they become issues. Would highly recommend Mervyn to represent you.!

As a network news correspondent I have worked with and interviewed plenty of lawyers and I have to say that my attorney, Mervyn Braude, doesn't just have the same extraordinary legal mind, gifted writing ability, and affably winning courtroom demeanor that the best in the country have, but all of that's backed up by the fact that he's an extraordinarily good & intuitive soul. There's no better legal representation available anywhere. I'm so grateful he's the one guiding me through family court

Mr. Braude is the best lawyer one could ever hope to work with throughout their legal battles. It has been a tough road for me in fighting against my ex husband. Mervyn has helped me in regards to getting child support that my ex husband has been refusing to pay. He has also provided me with the best representation I could ever hope to retain. His fees are fair and his service far outweighs the fee for service I have paid him. Kudos Mervyn, to a job well done.

When it finally came to the point of getting a divorce, I utilized Mr. Braude. From A to Z he has been the best attorney I have ever worked with. Not that I have a lot of experience in working with lawyers. He has helped me with getting me legal custody, child support, and helped me at the most difficult time in my life. My kids and I owe you a big thanks! Anyone would be foolish not to use your services.

The entire process in looking for a lawyer can be a daunting task. For me, I was new to the whole process and was pretty intimidated and wet behind the ears. Fortunately, I was referred to Mervyn Braude. If winning your case is important, hiring Mr. Braude and Jaburg and Wilk is not an option. Mervyn has won every battle that we have brought in front of Maricopa County Superior Court Judges. Having his expertise, attention to detail and trial/litigation skills has given me so much peace of mind.

I was getting killed by my ex-wifes layer. In our first court appearance, apposing council was clearly the alpha dog. On the advice of my sister (a law student) I changed layers to Mervyn. In the first settlement conference he turned my ex-wifes layer into a little lamb. Mervyn eloquently argued, called BS, and turned the tables on apposing council. We were able to complete my divorce (21 years marriage, 5 kids) within 7 months. My Ex refers to him as "your law shark" and completly hates him.

I have a pending misconduct of counsel case against Mervyn T. Braude Esq with the Arizona Bar Association that has been approved for further investigation by an ABA case manager; who is also a certified attorney. I have worked with Jaburg and Wilk for over ten years, and referred many people their way. Had I known what I know now, I would not have. I would strongly recommend not to retain Mervyn Braude or his firm Jaburg and Wilk.
