MESSAGE FROM MERRIT: As a former sales and marketing executive, there is an ingrained awareness of the importance of meeting the needs of the client in a timely fashion and an understanding of the pace and speed of business.

 

As a result of my business background, I understand the mindset of our commercial clients and I am able to respond to their needs in my areas of practice. Providence Law is committed to meeting the needs of our clients in a timely manner and we all impose pressure on ourselves to exceed the time expectations of our clients.

 

A pet project of mine is the provision of legal aid to persons who cannot afford to pay for legal advice in a traditional sense. To this end our firm promotes and supports free legal aid clinics and appears regularly on a television show to explain matters of legal interest to the public.
