Mr. Dennis Mersberger. I am blown away by your integrity, and all the hard work you did on my behalf. Your legal expertise and professionalism went above and beyond my expectations throughout the course of my case. Thank you for taking the time to critically analyze the police report and any other sort of evidence to ensure that I was completely forgiven to the best of your ability. You’re such a brilliant lawyer, and I will always be grateful for your passion, dedication, and all of your efforts!

When an over zealous neighbor to our business called the Fire Marshall and City Of Alexandria on us for a chemical spill (floor soap) i thought it was no big deal until i was issued a criminal summons facing a 25k fine and potential shut down i called Dennis. Dennis went above and beyond to get this matter resolved. long story short 4 court dates later and we walked away, all charges dismissed and no fine or negative marks on our business. I could not be happier with this outcome Thanks Dennis!

After the initial consultation i knew Mr.Mersberger was the lawyer i wanted in my corner,from beginning to end he fought vigorously on my behalf keeping my best interests at heart. With a class 3 felony charge i was facing 5-20 years behind bars,and very worried about losing my Career,future and freedom. When he was finished i left a free man with a misdemeanor charge of disorderly conduct and NO jail time to be served,He preserved my freedom and way of life.I highly recommend his services.

From my first communication with Dennis Mersberger to the successful results he achieved (i.e., getting my Alexandria speeding ticket dismissed), he was professional, clear, thorough, and resourceful. He asked me just the right questions, requested the appropriate documents, and took my case very seriously. Since I have arbitrated lawyer/client disputes (in another state) for 27 years, my standards and expectations are high. Mr. Mersberger is top-notch.
