Mr. Schmergel serves as lead counsel in all family law cases at the firm, and Mr. Mersberger leads the defense of the firm’s criminal and traffic cases. We believe that limiting our practice areas in this manner allows us to be more proficient in our respective practice areas and stay in touch with developments in the law, which translates to happy clients.
