How We Help

At Merhar Law, we understand choosing an attorney is an important, often stressful experience. As parents of young children and with an extensive background in public service, we are a family-first firm that favors a holistic approach to our practice areas. We strive to be approachable, empathetic, and candid. When you call us, you speak with an attorney, not a secretary or phone service. We utilize flat fee pricing whenever possible to promote transparency and to encourage communication between attorney and client—you should not be afraid to contact your attorney out of concern for running up your bill. Our firm focuses on helping you through some of life’s most difficult moments: estate planning, probate and estate administration, guardianship, and bankruptcy. We understand that not everyone has much, but everyone has something worth preserving.

Services

We are a law firm focused on helping you protect your legacy and navigate difficult personal situations through representation for estate planning, probate, guardianship, and chapter 7 bankruptcy matters. We are dedicated to providing comprehensive legal services tailored to each client’s needs and in a manner each client can understand—a great plan does not mean much if you and your loved ones do not understand it. Whether you need an estate plan to pass on the fruits of your hard work or you are trying to navigate the probate process while grieving the loss of a loved one, we treat every client with care and compassion, as we would expect to be treated.

While we are based in Gainesville, Florida, we assist clients statewide, with an emphasis on the following areas: Alachua County (including Gainesville, High Springs, Alachua, and Newberry), Baker County, Bradford County (including Starke), Citrus County (including Crystal River), Columbia County (including Lake City), Gilchrist County, Levy County, Marion County (including Ocala), Putnam County (including Palatka), and Union County.
